Usually it can be accessed via the router IP /debug.htm
For example if it is 192.168.1.1 the the debug page will be 192.168.1.1/debug.htm
This is a harder method of tracking the issue since the log files will contain a massive amount of unrelated info to look through.
In terms of efficiency and time, to rule out any issues with the miniDLNA process and the client device, testing it with a USB flash drive and a few random media files can help.
If it is stable there, then it could indicate an issue with the index or cache that it generates. If needed you could clear it by disabling the DLNA service, and then deleting the folder named ". Ready DLNA", and then enabling it again to have it rebuild the cache and index.
If it still happens, it could potentially be a corrupt media file causing the service to crash.
