DLNA to sleep after a while

As in the tittle

DLNA relay goes to sleep after a while ( computers and also Samsung / LG TV )

Just a precision: the box works in relay mode without any other problem

  • What package did you install on OpenWrt?
  • What are the configs?

I have compiled last version for use relayd -> luci-proto-relayd and others packages for share disk in VFAT NFTS .and more

my config is:
Router Orange Livebox 4 <-> OpenWrt in relay mode ( some little box's as WT3020 or GL-MT300N V2 )
Similar to this :slight_smile:
GL-MT300V2%20-%20DLNA

All is ok only a little problem with DLNA

in Windows Devices & printers DLNA's exist but after some times are greyed
with TV Samsung / LG the DLNA box's disappear

explorer

I have stopped Openwrt firewall service and same problem

All of your devices are on the same LAN. DLNA is a LAN protocol. What is relayd used for?

Config is as this:

https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/relayclient

sans-titre

I have not the 2 left computers all are in right LAN also TV

Test with this config:

GL-MT300V2%20-%20DLNA

Let me be clear:

  • The picture in post #5 is an image from OpenWrt's Wiki.
  • Please confirm that the picture in post #6 is of your network.

You haven't explained why you setup relay client for a LAN DLNA setup.

DLNA doesn't need a relay on a LAN.

Please provide configs.

the config is as the last picture

i use the devices for some features:

1 - I can use printers ( LAN or USB ) without wires !!

2 - I use also for my 2 * TV Samsung & LG who only have wired network and i connect some HDD's with videos
It's more convenient than plugging the discs behind the TVs ( DLNA ) !!!

All is in the same LAN > -192.168.1.xx
*
Today I received two WR1200JS (5GHz) for use with the Livebox 4 ( 2.4 & 5Ghz )
With the first it seems to work well
Unfortunately the second one does not work (is out of hardware)
Too bad I could have seen if it was not a story of network conflict

If they're in the same LAN, the router isn't involved, and relayd isn't needed.

Yes the same LAN group address same subnet but not physical It is exactly as shown in the image of Relayd above

Exemple for the TV Samsung

My computer <-LAN WIred-> Routeur LiveBox 4 <-WIFI-> ……. <-WIFI-> OpenWrt <-LAN-> TV

192.168.1.10 <-----Wired ----> 192.168.1.1 <---WIFI--->… <---WIFI---> 192.168.1.230 <---Wired---> 192.168.1.99

  • Same VLAN
  • Same LAN
  • Same broadcast domain
  • Doesn't matter if it's wired or wireless

No relayd needed. The OpenWrt relay is not an issue - it's not needed.

  • If you need a relay in this setup, you have improperly configured WiFi-to-LAN bridging.
  • I also asked for your relayd config; but I don't think it's needed.

relays are also to extend the reach of the wifi

What does that mean?

It seem you may have improperly setup a bridge:

config interface 'stabridge'
        option proto 'relay'
        list network 'lan'
        list network 'wwan'
  • Can you explain what this interface for???
  • Why didn't you configure this device to be a wireless BRIDGE to LAN as opposed to a CLIENT to the upstream Wireless???

Your issue is that you configured your device to be a client of the upstream LAN, as opposed to bridging it to LAN. This config is incorrect, and you must have also improperly numbered the LAN connecting on this interface. I need to know if your WiFi card is Broadcom or Atheros.

in this exemple stabridge is the same

For a WT3020 ( instable DLNA ) the WIFI Wireless chip si MediaTek / Ralink RT5390 

For a GL-MT300N V2 it seems pretty stable

With the WR1200js it seems more stable but I have only the case since yesterday

It may be a driver problem
I even compile the firmwares from openwrt sources with no other modification than to add packages

I think the issue is in order to have a transparent wireless bridge, you need WDS. If he hasn't set up WDS then it's in fact not a transparent bridge, and then relayd can be useful. The easiest thing is to set up WDS and be done, though I've found that WDS cuts out after a while randomly. I chose to use powerline gear to wire up my extra AP that used to be on WDS, and that solved my cut-out problem.

For WDS i have not this option

Tested in relayd mode :

GL-iNet MT300N V2 -> MT7628 stable

Minihere WR1200JS -> MT7621A in 5Ghz mode stable

Minihere 300Mbps -> MT7620N stable

NEXX-WT3020 ( 8 M or 16 Mo modified ) -> MT7620N unstable

I test at this time KIMAX U25CWF & U25AWH-H1 ...
