Refresh MiniDLNA #

MiniDLNA couldn’t find any new files in my media_dir even though I was adding new files. I think the problem was that my media_dir was set to an external hard drive.

(media_dir=v,/media/ExtHD/x/x). I got it working, here are the steps I used to fix.

sudo service minidlna stop sudo rm -rf /var/cache/minidlna/* sudo nano /etc/minidlna.conf
