I can DLNA to mine which is connected via Ethernet so I'd ask if it's using Ethernet or Wifi? ![]() My basement TV is an older Samsung but just a bit bigger but from the same time era. Guess that didn't help much.Īny other advice I might try? Port 1900 is not conflicting with anything, that I checked already. I am using the latest 4.4.3.0 which has dlna plugin version 1.0.39.0, so I assume it has the last night's update you mentioned. That would be "comfortable" to play content. ![]() I do not make use much of it's OS/smart capabilities, but my end goal was to access the dlna server from the remote via the input button, similar to the attached picture. I'll have a look at Emby, Mezzmo and TVMobili at some point - thanks.Hello It is quite an old model, but as I do not feel ready to upgrade to 4k just yet, it gets the job done (full hd, 3d, 200 Hz rate, etc). It seems very complicated to stop it from transcoding everything, but otherwise may be okay. I've had a quick play with Universal Media Server. (For example, I find I can't access the local web UI using the Edge browser - have to revert to Internet Explorer instead). Plex annoys the hell out of me - it's simultaneously stupidly over-engineered in some ways and bizarrely limited in others. I've been playing with Windows' built-in DLNA, and it's actually not too bad, except that it insists on passing a video's title (from metadata) instead of its filename, which I don't always remember to set correctly when I'm ripping, and there doesn't seem to be any way round that. (It can be a bit sluggish at picking up new files too). The others left in the PC space your looking at are TVMobili, Mezzmo, both commercial products.Ĭlick to expand.This is my main objection to Serviio - sometimes when I want to delete a file or move it to a different folder, I have to stop the Serviio service to do it. * once done with folders added, look at top libraries to the left is display, under this enable the "display folder view".ĭLNA server should be auto enabled, transcoding can be disabled as well (I would advise against it). * add names/paths to folders, enable real time monitoring. In Emby server go to library->add library * as to keeping files open that is unusual, it should not have a lock on files to the point you cannot delete them.Īnother option is Emby which is a competitor to Plex so does similar things, but you can tag a folder as mixed content in Emby and that's all that will show up under DLNA. * for removing extra levels, quick folder access, the presentation menu in serviio can do this, I can explain if interested. * it should auto update so long as you have the "keep library automatically updated" box checked. * you can disable transcoding in serviio but you will lose subs support if client cannot handle them. * subs support is dependent on the client and whether it will work with them over DLNA If you've used Serviio it should do all of what you ask There are a lot of bad DLNA servers, only a few good ones. Needs to be freeware, or very cheap also stable, generally reliable, and not consume unnecessary CPU time.Īs few extraneous, pointless features as possible. In an ideal world it would be nice to have a single browsable library that contains files from 2 or more different local folders, but I can easily live without that. ![]() It shouldn't keep files open all the time and thus prevent them from being deleted. ![]() It shouldn't require the client to browse through too many levels to get to the videos. It needs to update its library automatically and swiftly when you add new files, and when you remove them. It must not transcode the video, or in any way alter the video stream. It has to be compatible with subtitles, if the file contains them, but not try to burn them in. I only need access from the local network, not remotely. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something that delivers the video in the same format that it exists on the hard drive, without changing anything, adding anything, or removing anything. I'd like some suggestions for DLNA server applications.
