Hш. I want to make an network media player of RPi1. I read >10 instructions, did everything as said. Several times started on a new one. The result is one: my RPi1 plays only sound - like mp3 and any video. I could not find a gmedirander configuration file in DietPi. All that i was able to see in the log files is an error: “Error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.” Through dieti_configuration, i tried to configure autologin to graphical mode, in console mode, without autologin - no result. Put the player omxplayer - also without result. How to make gmediarender play video?
OK. Can someone tell me where in the DietPi is the configuration or the startup script?
root@DietPi:/# find /|grep -i gmed
/usr/local/bin/gmediarender
/usr/local/share/gmediarender
/usr/local/share/gmediarender/grender-64x64.png
/usr/local/share/gmediarender/grender-128x128.png
root@DietPi:/#
But…
root@DietPi:/# ps ax|grep med

Many related files have gmrender in their name, which is why your grep pattern did not find everything.
The startup service is: /etc/systemd/system/gmrender.service
Where did you see the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR error? Just did a test install and whether journalctl nor /var/log/gmrender.log show this error.
However if it is really somehow related to your issue, then you can of course set it in the systemd unit, e.g.
Environment=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/home/gmrender
