I’ve done my searching and can’t find an answer to THIS specific issue. I have my minidlna set up and running – but it’s not really done properly.<\/p>\n
First off, when I open the server on my bluray player, all of my movies are listed twice – when they are certainly not saved on my external twice.<\/p>\n
Second, when I open the server – rather than reading “Movies” “TV” “Music”, etc – It just mashes all of my movies, tv, and some other folders all together with no real organization. I never had this problem when I had my Windows set up, so I know it’s something configured improperly more-so than my external drive giving me gruff.<\/p>\n
Here’s my minidlna.conf file:<\/p>\n
# This is the configuration file for the MiniDLNA daemon, a DLNA\/UPnP-AV media\n# server.\n#\n# Unless otherwise noted, the commented out options show their default value.\n#\n# On Debian, you can also refer to the minidlna.conf(5) man page for\n# documentation about this file.\n\nmedia_dir=\/media\/somnambulist\/Ghost In You\n# This option can be specified more than once if you want multiple directories\n# scanned.\n#\n# If you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you can\n# prepend the directory name with a letter representing the type (A, P or V),\n# followed by a comma, as so:\n# * \"A\" for audio (eg. media_dir=A,\/var\/lib\/minidlna\/music)\n# * \"P\" for pictures (eg. media_dir=P,\/var\/lib\/minidlna\/pictures)\n# * \"V\" for video (eg. media_dir=V,\/var\/lib\/minidlna\/videos)\n#\n# WARNING: After changing this option, you need to rebuild the database.
