3 - Open terminal and input the next command:
4 - Download prepared debian with all necesary libs and decompress
tar -xvzf ./debian-minidlna-1.1.4-2.tgz
5 - Download start-stop script, in this script is a path EXT_DIR to your media folder witch will be mounted in debian as /mnt, mine is /mnt/sda1/Media and if your disk has a label change sda1 from CHROOT_DIR with your disk label, modify the script to match your settings with vi or nano editor, use this command nano /opt/etc/init.d/S99debian
chmod a+rx /opt/etc/init.d/S99debian
opkg install nano
6 - Download services-list that will run in chrooted debian, for now is only minidlna but if you want to install another packages in debian like transmission-daemon, you need to add transmission start-stop script name, ex. S50transmission
chmod a+rx /opt/etc/chroot-services.list
7 - Reboot router
8 - Go to 192.168.1.1:8200 (this is the default router ip, modify to your router ip if you change it previously) and see how minidlna is creating db, press refresh on your browser for progress.
If all numbers are 0 (zero) after some time, you forget to set the right path to your media folder, read again point 5 carefully
9 - If you want to enter chrooted debian to install other packages or to modify some options, use this commands:

To exit, just type
To update from a previous version follow this steps:

cd /var/tmp
cp -r minidlna.conf /etc

dpkg -i minidlna_1.1.4-2_mipsel.deb
5. Exit debian
