There is no more miniDLNA (aka Mediaserver) in K3.x for the E4200 V1 device.
However, if you youe it as a NAS, you shoud be fine.
I'll use vlc on android devices to access my NAS-shares (video-playback) on my router.
Thanks. I have VLC on my android but seems I am having issues with it opening the share on dd-wrt. It just sits there and says "loading" but never loads. I can access the dd-wrt nas share from a windows PC with no issues going through the network and also with VLC.
I was also reading about tomatousb and a specific toastman version (tomato-E4200USB-NVRAM60K-1.28.7508.2MIPSR2Toastman-RT-Ext) with minidlna. Can I just flash that toastman version directly on top of dd-wrt from the gui?

FreshTomato has minidlna. Only drawback at the moment is it's still the older 2.6 kernel. You *should* be able to flash Tomato over DD-WRT and be able to clear nvram and be okay since Tomato is CyberTAN-compliant and is like stock Linksys firmware. But I release myself from any liability if you flash over DD and it bricks.
Back to your VLC accessing the share, are you going by IP and port? I don't specifically use the NAS features of DD, but there may be a workaround. Or not. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

No worries, brick or no brick doesn't matter. Just messing around with old junk wifi routers. If it bricks, it goes in the trash!
With that said, I did flash it over with tomato-E4200USB-NVRAM60K-1.28.7508.2MIPSR2Toastman-RT-Ext and had no issues. In the process of configuring the media server now, looks like its scanning the drive.
