Auto-discovery for miniDLNA is turned off - inthemoode - 01-31-2020
I just discovered why my dlna database needed a manual update. The setting in minidlna.conf is set to inotify=no
Is there any reason why this is not set to yes?

My understanding from looking into this in the past is that (a) large numbers of inotify events can cause performance problems and (b) its not reliable when there are large numbers of events. MPD also offers a similar option that creates inotify events. If both MPD and miniDLNA have the option set then support becomes an issue.

I see. OK, glad I asked instead of just turning it on. Thanks.

You could always turn it ON and if no bad side effects then its a win.
