I have just installed volumio and it’s great ! I use it on a rpi 2, with a usb disk connected and a VDac 2. I would like to be able to read the music on that disk with another system, that can read only music from a dlna server (bose soundtouch). So I would like to run a mindlna on the pi. However, I don’t manage to do it. : I can install it (sudo apt-get install minidlna), however, the service doesn’t seem to start if I reboot the pi, I can’t see it using ps -aux | grep dlna. The conf file hasn’t be created either. I’m a bit confused, it’s probably something simple, but I can’t see what happen. Any ideas ?
it seems to works ! now ps -aux|grep dlna send me back something ! however, I can’t find the minidlna .conf and therefore don’t know how to set the server. more pointers ?
I want to have the db on the external usb hd media/HDD/server but it always failed to write the files.db
It’s a permission problem which I can’t solve and asking for help how to manage this.
This didn’t work for me to enable dlna. The only thing I can figure is that I should have created /lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service as root, e.g for permission purposes. Does that sound correct?

unfortunately the minidlna plugin is not available from the plugins management in the UI yet. In order to install it manually connect to Volumio via ssh and try the following:
