 |
|
Hi, I installed minidlna using the gentoo wiki.
The dlna is not showing up on any home devices. I understand that the DLNA is broadcasting on port 1900. If i use nmap to scan ports on the server:
| Code: | # nmap 192.168.1.116 -p 1-10000
Starting Nmap 7.95 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2025-01-26 13:28 IST
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.116
Host is up (0.0022s latency).
Not shown: 9991 closed tcp ports (reset)
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
111/tcp open rpcbind
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
443/tcp open https
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
2049/tcp open nfs
3632/tcp open distccd
5357/tcp open wsdapi
|
What are the settings in minidlana to ensure it shows up. |

You're scanning tcp ports looking for a udp one?
Standard port for dlna tcp is | Code: | | 8200/tcp open trivnet1 |
| Code: | $ head /etc/minidlna.conf
# port for HTTP (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer) traffic
port=8200
# network interfaces to serve, comma delimited (8 interfaces max)
network_interface=eth0 |
From a google query
| Code: | In MiniDLNA, UDP port 1900 is used for device discovery through the SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) protocol, while TCP port 8200 is used for actual media streaming and communication with DLNA clients; essentially, port 1900 is for finding the server on the network, and port 8200 is for accessing the media files once the server is located.
Key points:
UDP Port 1900:
Used for device discovery (SSDP)
Broadcasts information about the MiniDLNA server to other devices on the network
TCP Port 8200:
Used for actual media streaming and data transfer
Handles requests from DLNA clients to access media files |
