Hi Rob,
I am running minidlna on a Raspi for streaming media and it works well.
I will see if I can dig out the config when I get home tonight.
Regards,
Chris

Hi all
Has anyone had any success running minidlna? For the life of me, I
can’t see what I’m doing wrong. It’s installed and according to
sudo services minidlna status
it seems to be running ok but I can’t see it either on the server’s
file manager (which is Xenial) or on any (Windows) clients.
Disconcertingly, it doesn’t even appear to be building a database or
logging to anywhere. I have faffed at length with /etc/minidlna.conf
but to no avail. Apparently you can either run it as yourself, and
ensure minidlna.conf is pointing at directories that you have write
permission to. The alternative (and default) is for it to run as a
(non-logging in) user called minidlna. In this case, said user
minidlna must have write permissions to all directories specified in
minidlna.conf. Not wanting the hassle of chmod hierarchies, I went
for the former option and specified it as such user=myname in
/etc/minidlna.conf.
Is there a winning formula out there? The reason I’m trying to set
this up is I rather fancy [2] and sadly it only works with dlna.
Cheers
Rob
