Package: minidlna Version: 1.0.21+dfsg-1+b1 Severity: important Hello,
Here's the behavior I saw when I installed minidlna recently: 1. I install minidlna, it starts the daemon with default setting of media_dir=/opt, which is empty. 2. I modify /etc/minidlna.conf to point to the correct directory (media_dir=A,/home/jurij/Music, for example) and restart minidlna with /etc/init.d/minidlna restart. 3. The remote client still does not see any files. 4. I remove /var/lib/minidlna/files.db and restart minidlna again. 5. minidlna rescans the directories on startup and recreates files.db, all files are now visible to the remote client. I think that there is some bad handling of configuration file changes, I'd say that minidlna should always do a rescan on media_dir change. Most of new users are likely to hit this problem (unless they keep their files in /opt), and figuring out that you have to delete the files.db file to fix the problem may be non-trivial.
