**TiVo Support: ** adhere to the TiVo standards if you use a TiVo client.

 \\ \\ **Strictly adhere to DLNA standards:** this may increase compatibility with old client devices that have issues.\\   \\

**Media Directories: **defines where the actual media is. To //exclude// a subdirectory from scans, place an empty file with name: \\ ''.minidlnaignore'' in the filesystem.

 \\

For example:

\\ ''cd /mnt/usb/media/private''\\ ''touch .minidlnaignore''
