sudo apt-get install minidlna sudo nano /etc/fstab sudo nano /etc/minidlna.conf sudo service minidlna restart minidlna -R # refresh database sudo service minidlna force-reload
The setup took only 5 minutes.
Note that each subfolders under media_dir has to have a mode 775.
On Android BubbleUPnP, Go to Library > Your DLNA. Media -> Pictures -> Folders or Media -> Video -> Folders. The streaming is smooth compared to using say VLC/ES File Explorer to play media files.
Minidlna can not sync media files automatically. We need to run cron jobs to achieve it.
If we want to remove minidlna, we run
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove minidlna
