It took me some time to set up minidlna deamon on Ubuntu 18.04.1. The deamon finally works after starting up the machine and is discovered by my audio device though it still has problems with accessing the folder with media.
When I check minidlna status after starting up teh machine I get the minidlna.c:631: error: Media directory "/home/kidd/Music" not accessible [No such file or directory] error message:
● minidlna.service - LSB: minidlna server

and everything works fine.
The thing is I want minidlna deamon to see the media directory on startup so that I don't have to log in to terminal every time I reboot the server to restart the deamon and play music on my hifi.
It's not a question of permissions, bacause I'm running minidlna as root.
I would really appreciate any help.
