DESCRIPTION¶
The
minidlnad daemon is a DLNA/UPnP-AV server
sharing media files (video, music and pictures) to clients on your network.
Clients are typically multimedia players such as vlc, totem and xbmc, and
devices such as portable media players, smartphones, televisions, video game
entertainment systems and blu-ray players.
By default,
minidlnad listens on all the
network interfaces (except loopback) for clients. This behavior can be changed
on the command-line using the
-a or
-i options, or in the configuration file
through the
listening_ip or
network_interface options (see
minidlna.conf(5) for details).
OPTIONS¶
Most of the options below can also be set in a configuration file, as described
in
minidlna.conf(5).
-a
ip_address- IP address to listen on (e.g. 198.51.100.1/24). If the mask is omitter, it
defaults to /24. Can be specified more than once.
-d- Activate debug mode (do not daemonize).
-f
config_file- Specify the location of the configuration file. Uses
/etc/minidlna.conf by default.
-h- Show help and exit.
-i
interface- Network interface to listen on. Can be specified more than once.
-L- Do not create playlists.
-m

description.
-P
pid_filename- PID file to use; the default is
/run/minidlna.pid.
-p
port- Port number to listen on.
-R- Forces a full rescan of the media files.
-S- Use this option when
minidlnad is being
managed by systemd (Linux only).
-s
serial- Serial number the daemon will report to clients in its XML
description.
-t
notify_interval- Notify interval, in seconds; defaults to 895 seconds.
-u

minidlnad should run
as, instead of root;
user can either be a numerical UID or a
user name.
