I have installed minidlna
on my Ubuntu Server
installation and set up the .conf
file. However, minidlna
is not visible to any devices.
I have restarted the daemon by running sudo service minidlna restart
as well as rebuilt the database sudo service minidlna force-reload
but nothing is permitting minidlna
to be visible.
what should I alter so that my devices can stream from minidlna
Here are the settings I have in my .conf
file -
media_dir=/media/username123/Media/TV Shows
db_dir=/home/user/.minidlna
log_dir=/var/log
log_level=fatal
network_interface=enp10s0
port=23424
friendly_name=StreamingService
serial=681019810597110
inotify=yes
album_art_names=Cover.jpg/cover.jpg/AlbumArtSmall.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg
album_art_names=AlbumArt.jpg/albumart.jpg/Album.jpg/album.jpg
album_art_names=Folder.jpg/folder.jpg/Thumb.jpg/thumb.jpg
enable_tivo=no
max_connections=5
EDIT
The devices I want to be able to stream to are
1) Smart TV
2) Laptop(s)
3) Smart Phones
EDIT
The error message that the log file shows is
[2016/06/04 17:39:47] minidlna.c:303: fatal: ERROR: Failed to open sqlite database! Exiting...
