So I recently installed a home server to practice remote access, media file share etc... Currently SSH or Samba service work perfectly through out all devices in the network, however I wish to view a specific folder from my xbox using the Media Player app.
I set up the minidlna.conf file to what I presume is the correct settings since the recent experience I had with setting up samba. Restart service, force-reload, verified status and it shows as active.
Nothing, nada.
I'm no expert obviously but I believe it has to do with the port in the .conf file but I just have no idea which port should be there. Should I open I new port in my router? How secure is it to open ports from my modem?
Here is my minidlna.conf:
# If you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you can
# prepend the directory name with a letter representing the type (A, P or V),
# followed by a comma, as so:
# * "A" for audio (eg. media_dir=A,/var/lib/minidlna/music)
# * "P" for pictures (eg. media_dir=P,/var/lib/minidlna/pictures)
# * "V" for video (eg. media_dir=V,/var/lib/minidlna/videos)
# * "PV" for pictures and video (eg. media_dir=PV,/var/lib/minidlna/digital_camera)
media_dir=V,/home/obama420
media_dir=v,/srv/HomeNetwork/DefetnetlynotPORN/Videos
# Set this to merge all media_dir base contents into the root container
# (The default is no.)
#merge_media_dirs=no
# Path to the directory that should hold the database and album art cache.
db_dir=/var/cache/minidlna
# Path to the directory that should hold the log file.
log_dir=/var/log
Network interface(s) to bind to (e.g. eth0), comma delimited.
# This option can be specified more than once.
#network_interface=enp0s25
# Port number for HTTP traffic (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer).
# This option is mandatory (or it must be specified on the command-line using
# "-p").
port=3074
# URL presented to clients (e.g. http://example.com:80).
#presentation_url=/
# Name that the DLNA server presents to clients.
# Defaults to "hostname: username".
friendly_name=Home_Server
I'm not sure what other info I could provide to make it easier for anyone to assist me with this.
Thanks in advance.
