Install the file system you need.
NTFS is supported by Openwrt, i.e. gargoyle
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/usb.storage

You can install app such as miniDLNA
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/minidlna

or
Ushare

PM me if you need to buy Gargoyle router in Australia/NZ, willing to pay me to help you on your Gargoyle configurations or build custom configured ROM with pre-installed app or try to fix your bricked router. Yes, I am looking for job/work.

Thanks for your response!
My NTFS-formatted USB drive worked fine with Gargoyle 1.5.10 OOTB :-)
However, following the instructions on your second link (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/minidlna) produced:

Code: Select all

root@Gargoyle:~# opkg update
Downloading package list for attitude_adjustment source...
WARNING: Could not retrieve package list for attitude_adjustment.

Downloading package list for gargoyle source...
WARNING: Could not retrieve package list for gargoyle.

root@Gargoyle:~# opkg install minidlna
ERROR: No package named minidlna found, try updating your package lists
 
Have you an idea what is wrong, or do I need to ask on the OpenWRT forum?
Are you sure your gargoyle router is connected to internet?

Done. Have you any experience with ushare, or any idea why the installation didn't work?
If not, I will ask for help on the OpenWRT forum.
Thanks for your help!

Yes, I have tried ushare before.
If you still experience the same problem as your earlier message, my comment is still the same.
