Install MiniDLNA on Raspberry Pi

*These steps works both on Raspbian Wheezy & Jessie*

Install MiniDLNA
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install minidlna

Open and edit MiniDLNA's configuration file
sudo vi /etc/minidlna.conf

Configure your media directory
media_dir=V,/media/NASDRIVE/Movies

Note:
Adding "V," as prefix to the path will restrict the media dir to video content type.
Similarly, "A," for Audio and "P," for pictures respectively.

Set a name for your DLNA servers, this will show up on clients
friendly_name=RasPiDLNA

Set inotify to yes to let MiniDLNA automatically pick up file / media changes
inotify=yes
notify_interval=300 

Un-comment the line
log_dir=/var/log

Add minidlna user to pi group
sudo usermod -a -G pi minidlna

Force Restart MiniDLNA to let it build it's media database

sudo service minidlna force-reload

Check the logs at /var/logs (check if your media library is being indexed)
tail -f  minidlna.log



Viola... Your video collection should soon  show up on your DLNA devices :)
