I have just had a conversation with Grozdan, the current maintainer of minidlna, on the packman mailing list. Apparently there should not be an /etc/minidlna.conf on openSUSE systems. You should configure /etc/sysconfig/minidlna as that's the actual config file on openSUSE. Note that you specify media_dirs by putting them all on one line, separated by a pipe character. eg. media_dir="A,/$HOME/music/classical | A,/$HOME/music/jazz | A,/$HOME/music/folk". You should also leave the service file pointing to -f /var/lib/minidlna/minidlna.conf and clean out /var/lib/minidlna completely. Running "systemctl start minidlna" creates a new /var/lib/minidlna/minidlna.conf which is what is then used by minidlna.
I can verify that this works, but I did point out to Grozdan that it is not documented anywhere, and does not agree with man minidlna.
If your setup is now working, you may prefer to leave it alone, and ignore my instructions above. ;-)
Thanks for the information - yes, I read your conversation on Packman, but this post is a nice info to have, I was confused there. Perhaps it could be added to a file in the package docs named README.openSUSE, in a renewal of our traditions ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
