Comment 11 for bug 212441

This fix really helped!

One remark - the restart option does not contain the command to set up a route for broadcasting the availability of the mediatomb server. To solve the problem (which could be considered a fault in the mediatomb startup script) I've copied this part of the script from the start option to the restart option:

  # try to add the multicast route
  if [ "$VERBOSE" != no ]; then
   {
    log_action_begin_msg \
    "$NAME: Trying to add the multicast route"
    $ROUTE_ADD $INTERFACE \
    && log_action_end_msg 0
   } || {
    true && \
    log_warning_msg "Failed to add multicast route. skipping."
   }
  else
   $ROUTE_ADD $INTERFACE >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
  fi
