Hi everyone!
I've started my nas two weeks ago on omv 5.3.9-1, works just fine but there is an issue I can't solve on my own.
Mini DLNA plugin seems to work but media server is not visible in my network, also I can't access to mini dlna gui by standard port 8200.
change name to something without spaces like MiniDLNA or MiniOMV
http://NASIP:8200 only show a info page that you can check to see how many files are you sharing, not the content itself.
To see content you can go to your TV and select input to select DLNA shares.
several MiniDLNA servers can be enabled at time, only remember to change port in OMV WebGUI ( in my case 8200 and 8201)
I changed name to MiniDLNA and still not visible on my tv,windows or vlc player.
go to a shell and try service minidlma status
You must see that service is loaded & active (running), please post the output.
you can start or stop service with service minidlna stop and service minidlna start

Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable.your MIniDLNA do not start properly, as you can see your state is Active (exited), not active (running), so please revise what can be wrong and the cause because MIniDLNA can't start.
PD: Active Minidlna logs, and revise, perhaps canh show you whats the problem.
There is a warning:
fake start-stop-daemon called doing nothing
Check if /sbin/start-stop-daemon exists and if it has some content. If not, try
mv /sbin/start-stop-daemon.REAL /sbin/start-stop-daemon
Reboot the server and check miniDLNA again.
Now it works! Now I can browse my media on my tv, thanks a lot guys!
Had exactly the same issue and this thread helped to solve it. Thanks!
Edit: A completely new omv installation with the latest downloads as of this posts date - if anyone's interested.
How do you upload files to DLNA folders ?
How do you upload files to DLNA folders ?
I use SAMBA to upload / delete / move files on folders, and share the same folders that share by DLNA
Ok I got it. But do you face sudden change to Read-only attributes of folders while uploading of files ???

No, please revise your SMB config, and the user that you use to login in SMB.

Well users that are supposed to upload files (me) are properly set with permisions of read/write/modify in ALC and regular folder settings. Despite his setings it happens the folder to get only read-only. Even OMV himself says that the drive is read only when try to make changes:
Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; setfacl --remove-all -M '/tmp/setfacl68OZLK' -- '/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-add2dc37-ac09-4a67-987f-3befaa34f12a/Videos/' 2>&1' with exit code '1': setfacl: /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-add2dc37-ac09-4a67-987f-3befaa34f12a/Videos/: Read-only file system
If you have Shared Folder/User permissions and SMB permissions set properly you shouldn’t need to mess with ACL’s at all.

I find the reason. Faulty flash drive.
Now I have set good DLNA and SMB server with 2x500GB disks BUT I have one issue regarding unmounting disks. Looks like they are automatically unmounted after some time.
a. USB power savings are enabled (how to check that) that shut down usb port.
b. Some misterious force or gremlin is joking with me 
I know what I am talking about because this morning I was listening to music and left it as it is, and now after almost of 12 hours both disks are unmounted.
