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 -i option, or
in the configuration file through the
network_interface option (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).
-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/minidlna.pid.
-p

-R- Forces a full rescan of the media files. First it will remove all cached
data and database. Any bookmarks will be lost.
-r- Do a non-destructive rescan of the media files on start-up.
-S- Stay foreground. Can be used when
minidlnad is
being managed by systemd
-s

description.
-t

instead of root; user can
either be a numerical UID or a user name.
