Thank You - I must admit that my firewall settings have been incorrect, though I've been sure I did change them, but obviously I didn't save them or sth. else ... Kind regards Peter Am 04.12.2016 um 18:17 schrieb Mike Cloaked via arch-general:

Hello Mike,
I cannot find any important differences between Your files and mine. I've tested VLC, and if this is broken, the test doesn't have any relevance, so I need some other client first.
Kind regards Peter
In my case I can run vlc from another machine within my LAN to see the files on my media server running minidlna - one thing worth checking is that you don't have any firewall blocks for the required ports on the server. Again in my case the server is entirely within my home LAN and not visible to the wider internet, so there are less security concerns in this case than if the server was being accessed from the WAN.
The version current in arch is minidlna 1.1.6-1 but perhaps the comment earlier in the thread about version 2.x is a heads-up for when the version in arch is updated in the future at some point to make sure that 2.x does support UPnP. Certainly minidlna 1.1.6-1 works fine once it is set up correctly.
