= Minidlna =
Minidlna is a dlna server with a small footprint, originally designed to run on consumer NAS devices. Installation is fairly simple.

For this setup we will use [[GlusterFS|GlusterFS]] as the file store backend.

== Software ==

Start by installing minidla

{{{
apt-get install minidlna
}}}

== Filesystem ==

Configure your system as a [[GlusterFS Client|GlusterFS client]], so you have the following in your fstab.
{{{
/etc/glusterfs/video.vol /srv/video glusterfs defaults,_netdev,rw 0 0
}}}

== Configuration ==

Configuration is in `/etc/minidlna.conf`. Configure a directory to export.
{{{
media_dir=V,/srv/video
}}}

Start at the root diretory instead of providing the choice between All movies, Folders and Recently added
{{{
root_container=B
}}}

Set the network interface to export on
{{{
network_interface=eth0
}}}

The default setting is to you the hostname as the name of the dlna server. This can be change the the `friendly_name` option.
{{{
friendly_name=minidlna
}}}
== Inotify ==

When minidlna starts, you will get the following in your log
{{{
monitor.c:218: warn: WARNING: Inotify max_user_watches [8192] is low or close to the number of used watches [6] and I do not have permission to increase this limit.  Please do so manually by writing a higher value into /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches.
}}}

If you want to increase this value to accomodate minidlnas request, pick something above 100000, and add it to `/etc/sysctl.conf`.
{{{
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = "131072"
}}}
