I installed:
ps3mediaserver 1.90.1-1~getdeb1 amd64 DLNA Media Server
After starting this program, the GUI shows up and is usable. But debug.log said:

DNLA server is visible via upnp, but not files are shown. Settings for exported media were set.
I tried the tarball downloaded from project homepage, same version 1.90.1.
This worked well.
Maybe the Linux Mint package has an error.
