The Mediatomb web interface is available, while Mediatomb is running. To open the web interface, click on the Mediatomb icon in the toolbar of the LG web interface.
Share directories
The tab Database list all shared directories. The tab Filesystem lists the entire filesystem of the NAS. To share the directory /service/DLNA, navigate to Filesystem → mnt → disk → volume1 → service → DLNA. Click on 
at the top right corner to open the final menu.
This menu provides configuration settings to scan the directory for new files. For most people the setting Scan Mode: Inotify and Recursive should be okay.
