Installation configuration MiniDLNA under Fedora

It is easy to build DLNA servers as a complement to samba. Windows 7 has its own streaming media share, and the settings are simple and can be searched online.
The main purpose of the Linux building is as a home media sharing server, the mobile phone and smart TV access is more convenient.
I did not use CentOS and the Fedora system, mainly because in the notebook only add rpmfusion this repo is enough, install the driver what is more convenient, all use DNF installation do not need to compile their own, other distributions are similar.


If you do not have to install the Rpmfusion-free-release rpmfusion-nofree-release these two packages, and then refresh the DNF cache on the line.
In the domestic words according to the following operation, to modify the corresponding operating system version, I use Fedora 22.

[Email protected] ~]# wget http://mirrors.aliyun.com/rpmfusion/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-22.noarch.rpm[[ Email protected] ~]# wget http://mirrors.aliyun.com/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/ Rpmfusion-nonfree-release-22.noarch.rpm[[email protected] ~]# RPM-IVH rpmfusion-free-release-22.noarch.rpm Rpmfusion-nonfree-release-22.noarch.rpm[[email protected] ~]# DNF Update

All the repo files under/etc/yum.repos.d/, if the speed is not fast enough to configure the use of domestic mirror site, how to modify the Internet to check, update the first restart.


First search for DLNA-related software.

Installing MiniDLNA Software

[Email protected] ~]# DNF Install minidlna.x86_64

View a list of package files

[Email Protected]ora ~]# RPM-QL minidlna.x86_64/etc/minidlna.conf/run/minidlna/usr/lib/systemd/system/ Minidlna.service/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/minidlna.conf/usr/sbin/minidlnad ....... To omit the/usr/share/man/man5/minidlna.conf.5.gz/usr/share/man/man8/minidlnad.8.gz/var/cache/minidlna/var/log/of .... MiniDLNA

The software file is very simple.

You can take a look at Minidlnad's manual.

[email protected] ~]# man Minidlnad

Running Minidlnad-h is about the same.

[Email protected] ~]# minidlnad-h

You can also look at the MINIDLNA.CONF Handbook.

[email protected] ~]# man minidlna.conf

Then look at the service file for Minidlnad.

[[email protected] ~]# Cat/usr/lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service[unit]description=minidlna is a DLNA/UPNP-AV server Softwareafter=syslog.target Local-fs.target network.target[service]user=minidlnagroup=minidlnatype= Simpleexecstart=/usr/sbin/minidlnad-s[install]wantedby=multi-user.target

It seems that the main thing is to execute the/usr/sbin/minidlnad-s command. Before running Minidlnad-h, "-S" means to run the service in a systemd manner.
It seems to be a relatively simple service.

The profile path is typically in/etc/minidlna.conf, and is modified using a common editor.
We can basically understand that all of the settings can be modified in the minidlna.conf configuration file, focusing primarily on the minidlna.conf configuration options.


Next, modify the configuration file minidlna.conf.

Set boot auto-start

[Email protected] ~]# Systemctl enable Minidlnad.service

Start the service

[Email protected] ~]# systemctl start Minidlnad.service

Restart Service

[Email protected] ~]# systemctl restart Minidlnad.service

Disable Boot auto-start

[Email protected] ~]# systemctl disenable Minidlnad.service

If you encounter this warning:

Warning:inotify max_user_watches [8192] is low or close to the number of used watches [4] and I does not have a permission to  Increase this limit. Manually by writing a higher value into/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches.

All of the following can be done.

[[email protected] ~]# echo 65538 >/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches[[email protected] ~]# sysctl Fs.inotify.max _user_watches=66538

New edit/etc/sysctl.d/90-inotify.conf required for permanent entry

[[email protected] ~]# vi/etc/sysctl.d/90-inotify.conffs.inotify.max_user_watches = 66538

If you encounter this warning:

Upnphttp.c:1054:warn:http Connection closed unexpectedly

Please check the power management software settings including but not limited to powertop, tuned, etc., is generally in the electricity-saving consideration to turn off the network card.

MiniDLNA is suitable for server installation, very few dependencies, just change the configuration file.
Other similar software:
Rygel is suitable for GUI users, has a special graphical interface configuration, is also very simple.
Mediatomb with Web interface configuration, suitable for server installation.

Looking for found a Kodi software, search for a moment immediately before the light, and so there is time to play again.
