 +  * Resume playback on titles, during same power session 
 +  * On MP4 and MKV, Sony Blu-ray players will drop the extension, so you can have some kind of a naming scheme.

 +==== Matroska title tags ====
 +
 +** Note: ** This is actually my Sony BDP client that doesn'​t do this, not minidlna

 +I tried tagging the title in these places:
 +
 +  * Movie name
 +  * Title tag
 +  * Track name
 +
 +Tried using mmg and mkvpropedit to set the tags.  None of them worked, sadly. :(
 +
 +MP4 worked natively.
 +
 +==== minidlna hacking to do ====
 +
 +  * Store more details in SQLite database -- number of times played, which media device is requesting, etc.
 +  * Figure out how resume-playback works -- I'm guessing that the DLNA server makes a request for a starting point
