Here you can enable the internal media server (minidlna) which allows you to share media content, for example, from attached USB storage towards DLNA clients.

Enable: Enable/Disable the DLNA service.

Listen on: Define the bridge on which to advertise the service.

Port: Enter a static port where the service is reachable. Minidlna will publish the port in its active network advertisements.

Database Location: Defines where the database of the local media is stored. This is built automatically after a scan.

Rescan on the next run: Media are scanned periodically, but you can trigger a scan by selecting this option/saving.

TiVo Support: Adhere to the TiVo standards in case you a TiVo client.

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

Media Directories: Define 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
