Hi,
I'm currently running LMS 7.9.4 on a Raspi 3B+ (max2play) with UPnP Media Interface plugin activated. Basically, everything is working well and DLNA performance (seen from DLNA "only" clients) is quite nice. But after a while of operation, days or somethimes weeks, all of a sudden the DLNA server disappears from the network, whereas all other LMS functionality is unaffected. Further, there are no debug logs from the plugin itselve when logging is activated. Only logs about regular DLNA access.
Since LMS server seems to stop repsonding to network broadacast from DLNA clients performing device discovery (SSDP), it must be hanging at the lowest-level. I'm not familiar with LMS architecture, but I'd guess the problem resides at the core LMS portion handling network connections (to respond to discovery requests, right?), and not inside the Media Interface plugin. (That's why there aren't any debug log messages, I'd guess)
This said, I've got some questions:
- Is there a way to activate debug logging for the lowest level DLNA code, too?
- How to debug such problems in general?
- Is there a way to reset (the plugin or DLNA status) without restarting the server (no interruptions!)?
This issues is really annoying, since it's something only I can fix. Other users in my house are blocked. (I do not want my small kids to configure or restart LMS!)
Any help is really appreciated,
Regards,
Toby
