→DLNA Configuration File
==== DLNA Configuration File ====
The configuration file (a.k.a ".conf") has some options that can be configured. Changes can be made to the file as the "root" user via a "Terminal Session" windowusing the [http://www.cs.rit.edu/~cslab/vi.html vi] or [http://www.nano-editor.org/ nano] editors.
* The ".conf" file is found at:
<blockquote><u>Fedora 19:</u></blockquote>
/etc/minidlna.conf
<blockquote><u>Ubuntu:</u></blockquote>
/etc/minidlna.conf
* One section of the ".conf" file allows for changing where the directory locations where media files are stored.
* If you edit the minidlna.conf, the minidlna service must be restarted:
<blockquote><u>Fedora 19:</u></blockquote>
systemctl restart minidlna.service
Check the '''log file''' for the app at: <br><br>
<blockquote><u>Fedora 19:</u></blockquote>
/var/log/minidlna.log
<blockquote><u>Ubuntu:</u></blockquote>
/var/log/minidlna.log
* As a "root" user start a "Terminal Session", at the command-line enter:
<blockquote><u>Fedora 19:</u></blockquote>
systemctl status minidlna.service
* To enable NetworkManager Wait Online at startup with the following command:
<blockquote><u>Fedora 19:</u></blockquote>
systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online
* Enter the following to ensure that DLNA is enabled to start at each system boot:
<blockquote><u>Fedora 19:</u></blockquote>
systemctl enable minidlna.service
* Q: Does it transcode on the fly while streaming?: Nope
* Q: I added additional share locations into the config file but they do not appear!: try removing files.db under /tmp/minidlna/ and restarting the amahi-dlna service
