Can't contact Minidlna server

English Applications
1

I have a Raspberry Pi, running MiniDLNA. VLC on my Android tablet sees the server and can play videos without any problem.

VLC on my Tumbleweed desktop doesn’t see the server at all. If I run gssdp-discover
on the desktop, it just spins. I can’t find any reference to UPNP or DLNA in the firewall config.

Not sure where else to look. Any advice?

What if you temporarily disable the firewall? That would at least rule that one in or out.

Yes, that cleared the problem. Now all I need to do is to add a rule to the firewall configuration. Not something in my expertise.

Do

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=minidlna
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
