DLNA Autodiscovery - MH370 - 2024-10-10

Hello,
Jellyfin beginner is here.
I just installed Jellyfin on Trunas and I have 2 problems.

1) autodiscovery
I have installed dlna plugin and when I try to play music from my network using Harman Kardon receiver, it sees Jellyfin and can play music. Next day Harman Kardon doesn't see Jellyfin. Then I reboot Jellyfin app and Harman Kardon can see it again. Can somebody help me how to fix this? If nothing else, can I make scheduled tasks to reboot app every morning? If yes, how?

2) When running Jellyfin on both my TVs, folder Shows is empty. I saw same questions in forum and people suggesting that might be permission issue. I don't believe this is permission, because all folders Movies, Shows, Music are subfolders in my dataset and per my understanding they have same permission. Can it be problem how I named my Shows folder in metadata?

Thanks.

1) IMO, the DLNA plugin is not great. If you have a device, like your HK receiver, I'd recommend using miniDLNA to send music to that.

2) How are your libraries setup? Provide examples and can you also share your full jellyfin log via pastebin?

Thank you very much for your response.
Honesty I didn't know about miniDLNA. Now reading about this and make sense this is solution for me.
Regarding second issue I will remove my libraries and create them again from scratch. If I still have issue after that will open new thread and provide log.
Thanks!
