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.
