How to setup THE MOST SIMPLE media server using miniDLNA (plex need not apply)
This video is using miniDLNA to show you how to use the DLNA protocol to easily share media throughout your LAN.
DLNA is a set of standards that allow media sharing between devices, it's widely supported but not many people seem to know about it. Hopefully you find this useful :)
The minidlna command used in this video is:
minidlnad -f /home/$USER/.config/minidlna/minidlna.conf -P /home/$USER/.config/minidlna/minidlna.pid -d
If you want a full indepth guide on minidlna check this out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Read...

NOTE: Minidlna seems to have been renamed to ReadyMedia however all command line and config file locations stay the same.
