minidlna.conf(5) File Formats Manual minidlna.conf(5) NAME minidlna DESCRIPTION minidlna is a light weight but very functional DLNA server. In most cases, the defaults do not need modifications. The global configuration file is /etc/minidlna.conf but local users without system root access can run minidlna with their own configuration file. OPTIONS The following are user configurable options in /etc/minidlna.conf. minidlna runs by default as user nobody, so make sure system permissions are set correctly for read access to media and write access to cache and log dirs. friendly_name The name you want your media server seen as, EG: friendly_name=Home Media Server port Port for HTTP (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer) traffic etc, defaults to 8200. There should be no need to change this. network_interface Network interfaces to serve, comma delimited. Maximum is 8 inter- faces. Defaults to all. strict_dlna Set this 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. notify_interval Notify interval in seconds. The default is 895 seconds. minissdpdsocket Specify the path to the MiniSSDPd socket, EG: minissdpdsocket=/var/run/minissdpd.sock serial Serial number the daemon will report to clients in its XML description. Defaults to 12345678 model Model number the daemon will report to clients in its XML description. Defaults to 1 media_dir Path to the directory containing the media files minidlna should share. Use this option multile times if you have more than one directory to share. Example: media_dir=/opt/multimedia/videos media_dir=/opt/multimedia/movies You can also restrict an entry to a specific media type, you do this by us- ing 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 in /opt/multimedia/videos directory, and only music in /opt/multimedia/music, then you would use media_dir=V,/opt/multimedia/videos media_dir=A,/opt/multimedia/music Another example would be media_dir=V,/opt/multimedia/videos media_dir=V,/opt/multimedia/movies media_dir=A,/opt/multimedia/music Or, if you did not care what type it finds, then you could use media_dir=/opt/multimedia/videos media_dir=/opt/multimedia/movies media_dir=/opt/multimedia/music You can mix it up, find anything in music, but only Videos, in videos and movies media_dir=V,/opt/multimedia/videos media_dir=V,/opt/multimedia/movies media_dir=/opt/multimedia/music presentation_url Default presentation url is http address on port 80 EG: presentation_url=http://www.mediaserver.lan/index.php db_dir Where minidlna stores the data files, including Album cache files, by default this is /var/cache/minidlna log_dirPath to the directory where the log file upnp-av.log should be stored, this defaults to /var/log log_level Set this to change the verbosity of the information that is logged each section can use a different level: off, fatal, error, warn, info, or debug Example log_level=general,artwork,database,inotify,scanner,metadata,http,ssdp,tivo=warn inotifySet to 'yes' to enable inotify monitoring of the files under me- dia_dir to automatically discover new files. Set to 'no' to disable inotify. album_art_names This should be a list of file names to check for when searching for album art and names should be delimited with a forward slash ("/"). Example album_art_names=Cover.jpg/cover.jpg/AlbumArtSmall.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg/AlbumArt.jpg /albumart.jpg/Album.jpg/album.jpg/Folder.jpg/folder.jpg/Thumb.jpg/thumb.jpg enable_tivo Set this to yes to enable support for streaming .jpg and .mp3 files to a TiVo supporting HMO, default is no. tivo_discovery Set this to 'beacon' to use the legacy TiVo broadcast discovery method. Defaults to using Bonjour if Avahi support is available. 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 root container and you wont see Videos. force_sort_criteria Always force SortCriteria to this value, regardless of the SortCri- teria passed by the client. You may prepend the sort criteria with "!" to alter the titles of the objects so that they will be alphanumerically sorted in the order you specify here, to work around clients that do their own alphanumeric sorting. Example force_sort_criteria=+upnp:class,+upnp:originalTrackNumber,+dc:title wide_links Set to 'yes' to allow symlinks that point outside user-defined me- dia_dirs. By default, wide symlinks are not followed. enable_subtitles Set to 'no' to disable subtitle support on unknown clients. By de- fault, subtitles are enabled for unknown or generic clients.
