Thank you SHrimpkin, that is a direction. The system looks fine at least to my knowledge so far. The network interface has MULTICAST enabled The routing table has entry for 239.255.255.250 Tried to ping 239.255.255.250, could see the echo rsp were from my mac mini(10.0.1.10) where the minidlna was running on ifconfig: en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 28:cf:da:02:d5:11 inet6 fe80::40:7f60:8afc:cfaf%en1 prefixlen 64 secured scopeid 0x5 inet 10.0.1.10 netmask...

now minidlna is connected to minissdp, but still i couldn't see the service either on my ipad or tv :( Jul 2 17:40:59 minissdpd[85441] <Info>: (s=6) new request connection Jul 2 17:40:59 minissdpd[85441] <Info>: (s=6) request type=4 str='uuid:4d696e69-444c-164e-9d41-c82a14588999' Jul 2 17:40:59 minissdpd[85441] <Info>: usn='uuid:4d696e69-444c-164e-9d41-c82a14588999::uuid:4d696e69-444c-164e-9d41-c82a14588999' Jul 2 17:40:59 minissdpd[85441] <Info>: server='16.6.0 DLNADOC/1.50 UPnP/1.0 MiniDLNA/1.2.0'...

compiled minisspd and now it is verified running both through netstat and the testminissdpd, with -d option i could see when runing the testminissdpd everything is working, then i modified the minidlna config to add the following line to give path to the minissdpd socket(verified existed also) minissdpdsocket=/var/run/minissdpd.sock but seems minidlnad hang there when doing the [2017/07/01 08:44:26] minissdp.c:310: maxdebug: Sending ssdp:alive [6], even didn't scan the media folders, on the other...

I guess the problem exist only in Sierra, as minidlna worked before on my mac, and now none of the major release works(1.2.0, 1.1.5, 1.1.0), same code works very well on my raspberry pi(Jessie) Just make a isolated guest wifi network for my mac and ipad, they were the only two devices, in case other devices in the network will do some pollution, still i got the same problem, checked port 1900 with netstat, minidlna was the only one using it on my mac.

When minidlna starts up, seems it could bind the correct interface, 10.0.1.10 is my mac mini. [2017/06/30 19:27:52] minidlna.c:1035: warn: Starting MiniDLNA version 1.2.0.
