You will find it (minidlna.conf) inside the downloaded MiniDLNA folder.

We also need to know how you formatted, how you mounted your media drive, and where your minidlna.conf points to. Otherwise its just guessing here. The minidlna way to rescan its library is given in my answer - no need to force-reload. –Takkat Mar 11 '13 at 15:20 When I go to start mindlna afte

A while ago, I had to install a version of DLNA from a .deb, then install the plugin because the version in the repos was outdated.. but I believe that's been resolved for a while. Under System Logs, you should have a DLNA log.. is there a clue in that log? Another option, is to use Plexmediaserver. Just enable the Plex repository under omvextras.
