!@#$%$ I’ve been beating my head on my desk over this. Thanks for pointing out what should be obvious lol!
Dear experts,
please forgive me hijacking this old thread but I have very similar issues. I run miniDLNA 1.1.6 on V13.1 and the clients “see” the DLNA server but do not find any files although after the minidlnad -R the DB is 16 MB. The status under localhost:8200 also does not show any files.
The service is active:
minidlna.service - MiniDLNA UPnP-A/V and DLNA media server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2016-12-28 11:02:03 CET; 10h ago
Process: 1662 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/minidlnad $RESCAN -P /var/run/minidlnad.pid -f /var/lib/minidlna/minidlna.conf (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 1500 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/minidlnaconfig (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 1678 (minidlnad)
CGroup: /system.slice/minidlna.service
└─1678 /usr/sbin/minidlnad -R -P /var/run/minidlnad.pid -f /var/lib/minidlna/minidlna.conf
I also attach my minidlna.conf (in etc), maybe somebody can help me.

set this to the directory you want scanned.
* if have multiple directories, you can have multiple media_dir= lines
* if you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you
can prepend the type, followed by a comma, to the directory:
+ “A” for audio (eg. media_dir=A,/home/jmaggard/Music)
+ “V” for video (eg. media_dir=V,/home/jmaggard/Videos)
+ “P” for images (eg. media_dir=P,/home/jmaggard/Pictures)
media_dir=A,/archive/Musik
media_dir=V,/archive/Videothek
media_dir=PV,/archive/Foto_Videoalbum
