Bug#857849: minidlna does not work if started via systemd
Hi Alexander, Thanks a million for the speedy response. After upgrading to the new version minidlna appears to function properly, so as far as I'm concerned this bug can be closed. Would the problem reappear I'll open another ticket. Once again, thanks so much for the prompt support.

Please check /var/log/minidlna.log and journalctl -u minidlna.service Is it fresh install or upgrade?

Bug#857849: minidlna does not work if started via systemd
Package: minidlna
Version: 1.1.5+dfsg-2~bpo8+1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
I recently noticed that my minidlna server was unavalable, at least from VLC,
even though it seemed
to be running and I'm not aware of any changes directly related to minidlna.
After some
experimentation, I found that if started manually, with the exact same command
line that systemd
would use, it worked OK.
To be concrete, this invocation did not work:
# /etc/init.d/minidlna start
Starting minidlna (via systemctl): minidlna.service.
# pgrep minidlna|xargs ps
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
13625 ?Ssl0:00 /usr/sbin/minidlnad -f /etc/minidlna.conf -P
/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid
whereas this did:
# /usr/sbin/minidlnad -f /etc/minidlna.conf -P /run/minidlna/minidlna.pid
# pgrep minidlna|xargs ps
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
13674 ?Ssl0:00 /usr/sbin/minidlnad -f /etc/minidlna.conf -P
/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid
