minidlna (ReadyMedia) uselessness and mystery
ThHere I was trying to get minidlna working on an August snap, and I discovered:
Nothing appears to start. There are no longer any documents in the package. None. Neither man nor info. WTH? |

I have been using minidlna for several years, using a PS3 as the client media player.
To my knowledge, the documentation that exists from the upstream project is found in two places. In the the example configuration file, and in the "INSTALL" text file that comes with the source code tarball. I did have a question when I first began to use the application, so I contacted the $MAINTAINER. He shared his configuration file with me, so I'll share mine with you. Code:
# port for HTTP (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer) traffic # if firewalling, this TCP port, as well as UDP port 1900, must be open. port=8200 # network interfaces to serve, comma delimited network_interface=vlan2,vlan4 # specify the user account name or uid to run as user=_minidlna # set this to the directory you want scanned. # * if you want multiple directories, you can have multiple media_dir= lines # * if you want to restrict a media_dir to specific content types, you # can prepend the types, followed by a comma, to the directory: # + "A" for audio (eg. media_dir=A,/home/jmaggard/Music) # + "V" for video (eg. media_dir=V,/home/jmaggard/Videos) # + "P" for images (eg. media_dir=P,/home/jmaggard/Pictures) # + "PV" for pictures and video (eg. media_dir=PV,/home/jmaggard/digital_camera) media_dir=/media # set this to merge all media_dir base contents into the root container # note: the default is no #merge_media_dirs=no # set this if you want to customize the name that shows up on your clients friendly_name=x220 # set this if you would like to specify the directory where you want MiniDLNA to store its database and album art cache db_dir=/var/db/minidlna # set this if you would like to specify the directory where you want MiniDLNA to store its log file log_dir=/var/log/minidlna # 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 #log_level=general,artwork,database,scanner,metadata,http,ssdp,tivo=warn # this should be a list of file names to check for when searching for album art # note: names should be delimited with a forward slash ("/") 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 # set this to yes to enable support for streaming .jpg and .mp3 files to a TiVo supporting HMO enable_tivo=no # 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. strict_dlna=no # default presentation url is http address on port 80 #presentation_url=http://www.mylan/index.php # notify interval in seconds. default is 895 seconds. notify_interval=900 # serial and model number the daemon will report to clients # in its XML description serial=12345678 model_number=1 # specify the path to the MiniSSDPd socket #minissdpdsocket=/var/run/minissdpd.sock # use different container as root of the tree # possible values: # + "." - use standard container (this is the default) # + "B" - "Browse Directory" # + "M" - "Music" # + "V" - "Video" # + "P" - "Pictures" # + Or, you can specify the ObjectID of your desired root container (eg. 1$F for Music/Playlists) # if you specify "B" and client device is audio-only then "Music/Folders" will be used as root #root_container=. # always force SortCriteria to this value, regardless of the SortCriteria passed by the client #force_sort_criteria=+upnp:class,+upnp:originalTrackNumber,+dc:title # maximum number of simultaneous connections # note: many clients open several simultaneous connections while streaming #max_connections=50 If you have a question about the OpenBSD implementation of a third party application, each port (and its package) are supported by the listed $MAINTAINER. If you want to contact this port's $MAINTAINER, Stuart Henderson, his Email address displays with $ pkg_info minidlna .

My rule set is sparse, and I can connect to port 8200:

This looks like a normal log.
I don't use DLNA any longer, but I did note that the PS3 client had to be up and actively scanning for the server at the time I started minidlnad. If the server was started first, the client would not find it. In the case of the PS3, which does not multitask, it needed to not be running any application but in the base selection screens at the time the server was started. |

I now run two long cables (HDMI and separate, analog audio) to my TV and sound system, and do not serve media over IP.
The PS3 has a very limited set of file formats and encodings, and I would often have to transcode content. This avoids that step. |
