NAME
minidlna.conf — MiniDLNA server configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/minidlna.conf
DESCRIPTION
minidlna(1) reads configuration options from the system-wide
configuration file /etc/minidlna.conf, or the file specified with -f on
the command line. The file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line.
Lines starting with ‘#’ and empty lines are interpreted as comments.
The possible keywords and their meanings are as follows:
album_art_names
List of filenames to check for when searching for album art
cache, separated by forward slashes (‘/’).
db_dir Path to the directory minidlna should use to store its database
and album art cache. Uses /var/lib/minidlna by default.
enable_tivo
Set to ‘yes’ to enable support for streaming JPEG and mp3 files
to a TiVo supporting HMO. Set to ‘no’ otherwise.
friendly_name
Customize the name that the minidlna server sends to clients.
inotify
Set to ‘yes’ to enable inotify monitoring of the files under
media_dir to automatically discover new files. Set to ‘no’ to
disable inotify.
log_dir
Path to the directory where the log file should be stored.
Defaults to /var/log.
media_dir
Path to the directory containing the media files the minidlna
server should share. Use this option several times if you have
more than one directory to share. To restrict a path to one
specific media type, you can use the following syntax: the letter
‘A’, ‘V’ or ‘P’, followed by a comma (‘,’) followed by the path.
The meaning of the first letter is as follows:
· ‘A’ for audio files;
· ‘V’ for video files;
· ‘P’ for image files.
For example, if you want to include only video files located
under the /opt/media/videos directory, you would use
media_dir=V,/opt/media/videos.
After making changes to this option, you need to rebuild the
database. If you use an init script to start/stop minidlna, then
you should run (as root) service minidlna force-reload.
Otherwise, just add -R to your usual minidlna command line
(minidlna [...] -R).
model_number
Set the model number reported to clients.
network_interface
Network interface to bind to.
notify_interval
Set the notify interval, in seconds. The default is 895 seconds.
port Port for HTTP traffic. Defaults to port 80.
presentation_url
Define the presentation URL.
root_container
Use a different container as the root of the tree exposed to
clients. The possible values are:
· ‘.’ to use the standard container (this is the
default);
· ‘B’ to use the “Browse Directory” container;
· ‘M’ to use the “Music” container;
· ‘V’ to use the “Video” container;
· ‘P’ to use the “Pictures” container.
If you specify ‘B’ and the client device is audio only, then
“Music/Folders” will be used as the root container.
serial Set the serial number reported to clients.
strict_dlna
Set to ‘yes’ to strictly adhere to DLNA standards. This will
allow server-side downscaling of very large JPEG images, which
may hurt JPEG serving performance on (at least) Sony DLNA
products. Set to ‘no’ otherwise.
FILES
/etc/minidlna.conf
System-wide default configuration file.
