This behavior is documented in minidlna.conf(5).

Doesn't sound like a good fix to me, people who run minidlna manually
will get a different behavior, which I think is bad. This issue has been
reported here and upstream before (see #626835), but upstream marked it
as invalid and I don't think it's worth patching for Debian.

It's actually 'force-reload'; you can also run 'minidlna -R' directly,
or remove the database file by hand.

Unless you have suggestions on improving the documentation, I will close
this bug and merge it with #626835.
