I have a new install of 7.1 and DLNA. I have been adding media to my library over the last few months with no issues, the cache is updating and I can "see" the media on DLNA players. However, since the weekend, the cache has not been updating. I can browse to the folders and files via a file manager on a computer, but not on a player.
This was an annoying problem with 6 on Ubuntu, I would have to delete the cache file everytime I added media and restart the server. Is there a workaround/solution for 7.1?

May be the same issue. Have you installed OS updates? There was a new minidlna package release recently. Not sure if this is something we can correct, but recommend you file a bug report if still having issues.

Thanks Big. My kids all have iOS devices, so I switched to the iOS App, which is superb. Works flawlessly. That just leaves the PS3 to sort out (Twonky). I will try updating the DLNA app and see how I go.

Sounds good. Please let us know.

I re-installed DLNA to the latest version.
My app page tells me it's installed, but I now get this:

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status minidlna.service
minidlna.service\xe2\x80\x8b.service
Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

I've tried rebooting the server a few times and re-installing DLNA with the above result.
Any ideas?

Try this as root user: I didn't mean you needed to uninstall and reinstall specifically. You have done a yum update and it would have gotten picked up.

Thanks Big.
code did nothing. I uninstalled DLNA, restarted the server, did a first time OS update. I reinstalled DLNA, configured the conf file to point to the relevant directories, and all is working as it should. So maybe it just needed an OS update.
I did notice your post re the plexmedia/DLNA conflict issue, but I don't have plex installed on my server, so this wasn't the initial issue for me.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my queries.

No problem. Glad you got it sorted out.
