# MiniDLNA #

MiniDLNA is a lightweight DLNA/UPnP media server. The MiniDNLA daemon serves media files (music, pictures, and video) to clients on a network.

### Installation ###

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update
    root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install minidlna

### Configuration ###

### Execute Daemon ###

root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/minidlna enable
    root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/minidlna start

**Done!**

miniDLNA server is ready to use ![:-D][-D]

### Notes ###

*  MiniDLNA's inotify support may not work as expected when trying to watch on an overlayfs filesystem. In the case of extroot, e.g. you can watch on \`/overlay/root/minidlna\` instead of \`/root/minidlna\`.

 *  The package has uci-support since [ R31211][R31211].

## Example ##

A video demonstration of how MiniDLNA 1.1.3-1 in the repositories can be installed on OpenWrt 14.07 Barrier Breaker: [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vU2zOw6ga0][https_www.youtube.com_watch_v_-vU2zOw6ga0]

## Chaos Calmer Tips ##

If you have a decent size music library, you will more than likely find building the minidlna database on your OpenWrt device extremely slow or impossible due to RAM constraints. The solution is to build the minidlna database on a Linux PC.

*  Create a directory on your OpenWrt hard or flash drive to hold the minidlna log and database files.
    
     *  `mkdir /PathToHardDrive/minidlna`
 *  On the OpenWrt device, modify the following `/etc/config/minidlna` lines to put the minidlna database and log file on the hard or flash drive connected to your OpenWrt device.
    
     *      option db_dir '/PathToHardDrive/minidlna'
            option log_dir '/PathToHardDrive/minidlna'
            option inotify '0'
            list media_dir 'A,/PathToHardDrive/PathToMp3s'
 *  Create a minidlna configuration file on the hard or flash drive connected to your OpenWrt device
    
     *  Put the following in file `cp_minidlna_conf.sh`.
        
         *      #!/bin/sh
