minidlna

ReadyMedia (formerly MiniDLNA) is a lightweight media server compatible with DLNA/UPnP-AV clients. Used to stream media to smart TVs, consoles, and other DLNA-compatible devices. Configuration is typically done via the minidlna.conf file. More information: https://manned.org/minidlna.

• Start the MiniDLNA daemon using the default configuration at /etc/minidlna.conf:

minidlna

• Start MiniDLNA with a specific configuration file:

minidlna -f {{path/to/minidlna.conf}}

• Force a database rescan on startup:

minidlna -R

• Run MiniDLNA in the foreground (useful for debugging):

minidlna -d

• Enable verbose debug output:

minidlna -d -v

• Specify a custom media directory (overrides config):

minidlna -m {{path/to/media}}

• Specify a custom database directory:

minidlna -P {{path/to/pidfile}}

• Specify a custom log file path:

minidlna -l {{path/to/logfil.log}}
