Hello, fellow DLNA enthusiast,

Tried this on an amd64 system, but used minidlna’s UID for reviewing
purposes. It works and plays videos in VLC just fine. Unfortunately my
semi-ancient Sony TV doesn’t pick it up, but I suppose that’s a
separate issue. My comments:

Is it really necessary to complicate the port with patches? It builds
and runs just fine without them and for any nonessential features from
the upstream we can just wait for a new release.

It doesn’t pass lib-depends; missing c and pthread.

Missing homepage.

DESCR isn’t fmt-ed. Portcheck doesn’t complain, so maybe it isn’t
relevant, but it’s nice to keep things consistent.

RC is string replacing invalid characters. Wouldn’t it be more
appropriate to escape them? Or just remove it altogether as setting the
values is supported through the configuration file.

Readme with instructions for basic setup, usage, and default values
probably wouldn’t hurt.

I’ve attached the port with most of my suggestions implemented.
