It is zero configuration protocol and requires only a media server and a media player that are compliant with the protocol. </para><para>DLNA is derived from UPnP as a form of standardizing media interoperability. It forms a standard/certification which many consumer electronics conform to. </para></section><section><title>Setting up MiniDLNA on your FreedomBox.</title><para>To install/enable the media server you need to navigate at MiniDLNA page and enable it. The application is intended to be available in the internal (home) network and therefore it requires a network interface configured for internal traffic. </para><para>After installation a web page becomes available on <ulink url="https://<your-freedombox>/_minidlna"/>. It includes information for how many files the server is detecting, how many connections exist etc. This is very useful if plugging external disks with media to check if the new media files are detected properly. If that is not happening, disabling and enabling the server will fix it. </para></section><section><title>File systems for external drives.</title><para>If using an external drive that is used also from a Windows system the preferred filesystem should be NTFS. NTFS will keep Linux file permissions and UTF8 encoding for file names. This is useful if file names are in your language. </para></section><section><title>External links</title><para><ulink url="http://minidlna.sourceforge.net/"/> <ulink
