Does that help with VLC as a client? I ended up giving up on DLNA and switching to FTP because VLC couldn't find MiniDLNA.

@obadz It did help me with Skifta to see the Server soon after firing up the app. I guess a shorter announce-interval also helps with other Clients.
I kindly ask for merging this soon, as has already been done for the backport (#78025).

edit: Just tested with VLC on Ubuntu 18.04 as client and miniDLNA on NixOS stable as server, announce interval set to 60 seconds. The server was quickly detected after clicking the Universal Plug'n'Pray entry in the playlist window.

Remeber you have to explicitly open TCP port 8200 for miniDLNA.

Ah sorry for the delay. It might be a good idea to only open backport PRs if the main one is merged so this doesn't happen (also keeps the discussion in one place).
