[GUIDE] Install MiniDLNA on WD My Cloud (firmware series 3)

I have v03.04.01-230 installed and attempts to install minidlna have broken my install.  I followed the instructions, but the apt-get fails, and then I have dependency issues that I cannot clear up.

I experience the exact same issue that someone else outlined here:   http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/Possibly-played-too-much/td-p/785287

I had to remove the drive, and rewrite rootfs.img in order to get it running again.  I tried again, and came up with the same result.

I took the plunge building MiniDLNA for firmware V4. For those who’s interested, basically below are the needed 64K page size memory packages to build. I’ll write a guide soon on how to install this when time permits:

Hello all,

Lot of failed while installing miniDLNA, and lot of brick my WD 2To, cause i’m a noob in linux and I don’t understand what I do…

Does anyone have an image disk of WDMYCLOUD with miniDLNA installed ? It will be more easy for me.

thx all

I followed thses instrructions and it did not appear to work. It gave error message 1. My version of firmware is v03.04.01-230. I downgraded to this to allow another application be installed. Unfortunately I cannot show the screengrab of the messages as this forum does not appear to allow it.  Could you maybe point me in the way of a solution?

Tom

does this command line need to be run in a certain /DIR?

echo deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
STEP 4 - Update the sid packages list (be patient as it may take a while

im in the /ect/apt directory when I run the command in putty/WinSCP

the directory does not seem to be at http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ anymore.

edit: I found some files here ReadyMedia - Browse /minidlna at SourceForge.net but I dont know what version works with the older firmware 3
