MiniDLNA
Before we talk about the software that uses DLNA, let's first understand what it is.
Digital Living Network Alliance
(
DLNA
) aims to ease the connection between
heterogeneous devices. This means that you can connect with any other DLNA-
certified device to share your music, pictures, and videos—regardless of the
manufacturer.

ReadyMedia (formerly known as MiniDLNA) is a simple media server software,
with the aim of being fully compliant with DLNA/UPnP-AV clients. It is
developed by a NETGEAR employee for the ReadyNAS product line.
As the Debian packages still use the original name, we will keep calling it MiniDLNA.
