Hi,

I've just installed the current version of LimboMedia on my raspberry3 and it's running quite good so far. I only have problems getting the DLNA server working. In any DLNA client I've tested I can see the LimboMedia server, but it doesn't show any files. My videos are stored in subfolders. I'm running also two different DLNA servers (minidlna) without any problems. So I'm a bit puzzled what's going wrong...
I can play all videos in the web frontend, so maybe it's a configuration issue.
TIA

I have the same issue, did you resolve it?

Hi,
maybe it's just a permission issue: Top-Level-Folders must be shared with the virtual user "LAN" to be visible via DLNA. We did this for security reasons, so especially servers somewhere in the internet do not expose things by default.

If this doesn't solve the problem we need some more information like LimboMedia version, DLNA client(s) used and maybe some network information about your setup and LimboMedia startup log.
