IMHO, and this may not be completely according to the manual, README.Debian should make the users live easier. Sure it's in the man page, but wouldn't it be worth the small effort to make it easily accessible if that saves the average user some time? >> I propose the following: Cache the values of media_dir in the init >> script so that on start-up -R can be run automatically when >> media_dir >> changes. > > Doesn't sound like a good fix to me, people who run minidlna manually > will get a different behavior, which I think is bad.

To me it'd be worth it to patch the init script, but you are right that it'd be better to tackle upstream.
