Where Is the Rygel Config File?

Rygel DLNA user and system conf with media URI note.

Last updated

Rygel reads user conf first with system fallback and flag override. Man plus GNOME docs agree on the order. Media dirs stay user-defined URIs inside the file.

Linux-only daemon throughout. Keep backup to the conf file.

Where Rygel stores this, by platform

Linux
~/.config/rygel.conf

User conf first with system fallback and flag override. Media as user URIs, no fixed dir. Man plus docs agree. Linux-only.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Rygel?

Copy the user conf with the daemon stopped. Media lives wherever the URIs point, not in config. Restoring means putting the conf back before start.

Where is the media folder?

No fixed media dir exists. URIs under the export section point anywhere the user chose. Back up media separately from config.
