I just had a fresh install of Debian 7.7.0, and had the same problem with mediatomb. After I configured INTEFACE to eth0 in /etc/default/mediatomb I got this error in /var/log/mediatomb.log at startup:
2015-01-09 22:46:08 ERROR: Could not determine interface address: Cannot assign requested address 2015-01-09 22:46:08 ERROR: Could not find interface: eth0 The problem appears to be in minissdpd service. For some reason it was added to startup together with mediatomb. I don't know which dependency pulled this service and why it was enabled by default. After removing minissdpd package I have meditomb running just fine at startup. -- Gregory
