NAME

       minidlnad - MiniDLNA DLNA/UPnP-AV Server


SYNOPSIS

       minidlnad options


DESCRIPTION

       minidlna is a lightweight but very functional DLNA/UPnP-AV server
       allowing easy sharing of your media files including pictures to any
       capable device or client on your local wired and wireless network.
       Common PC software like totem is a good lightweight and fast choice for
       Linux/BSD; more fully featured software for Linux, Windows and MAC is
       XBMC, also Mediahouse on Android, and any media sharing capable DVR/TV
       etc.


OPTIONS

       minidlna's options are normally set from the global /etc/minidlna.conf
       file.

       you can do this by running minidlna with the following command line switches.

       -R Rescan
              This forces minidlna to rescan all of the media_dir directories.

       -d debug
              minidlna will run in the foreground with debug output.

       -P pid_filename
              Specify a location for the PID file.

       -m model
              Force minidlna to report a specific model number.
