Set up DLNA server on Ubuntu & Raspberry Pi:
=============================================
You can set up a DLNA Media Server on the Raspberry pi (with Ubuntu os) to stream media files to devices that have poor support for NAS, like PS4.
*As of PowerDVD Ultra 20, DLNA is no longer suported.

To install program:

sudo apt install minidlna

---------------------------------------------------------------------
To select what flders to share, edit this file:
sudo nano /etc/minidlna.conf

add these lines:

media_dir=/opt/NAS/Videos/BD_Videos/Miku Magical Mirai
media_dir=/opt/NAS/Videos/BD_Videos/Miku Symphony BD
media_dir=/opt/NAS/Videos/BD_Videos/Miku Project Dvia X Limited CD+BD
media_dir=/opt/NAS/Videos/BD_Videos/COSMOS - A SpaceTime Odyssey
media_dir=/opt//Secondary_NAS/Video/BD Video
media_dir=/opt//Secondary_NAS/Video/DVD
media_dir=/opt//Secondary_NAS/Video/Other Video
#media_dri=/opt//Secondary_NAS/Archive/Music (AAC ver)
media_dir=/opt/NAS/Photos/Clipart By Me/Miku Expo 2020 Europe Postcards Scans
media_dir=/opt/NAS/Photos/Clipart By Me/Miku Expo NA 2020
media_dir=/opt/NAS/Photos/Clipart By Me/Sailfish OS 4.1 (Xperia XA2) Preinstalled photos


Comment out this lines:
#media_dir=/var/lib/minidlna
#media_dri=/opt//Secondary_NAS/Archive/Music (AAC ver)

Save nano,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then restart the server by:
sudo service minidlna restart

Or incase the standard restart does not work, rebuild the database by:
sudo service minidlna force-reload


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you dont want the server to start automatically:
sudo systemctl disable minidlna
sudo systemctl stop minidlna

Then start it when used by:
sudo systemctl start minidlna
