Looking at the Makefile I realized that the service runs with dlna:dlna user:group which does not have write permissions to /var/db/minidlna. Adding write permissions fixed the issue.

When it starts it creates its db and when started for the first time may take long to do so. I'd after starting/restarting it check journalctl -t minidlnad to probably be informed as to the nature of the issue -- which reminds me: do also be sure to have issued systemctl restart minidlna.service after changing /etc/minidlna.conf.

You aren't having the issue because of max_user_watches. The scanner is not finding any media. This can happen for two reasons usually - no permissions for minidlnad user and a file that causes minidlna scanner to crash. The latter is more common than you would think. moved to new thread instead of the 10 year old thread.
