Always left DLNA checked but never really knew what it was! Shame your channel is hardly ever recommended to me despite being subscribed for years, sad to see your views per video so low in relation to the subscriber count, RU-vid is a cruel beast!
It really frustrates me that subscribing doesn’t mean anything any longer.. :( I do well over the long term with search results so that keeps the lights on around here :)
Also its worth noting that Plex has had a known issue with DLNA that they haven't fixed for 5 years that causes a memory leak. There are some details about this on the forums which is why they disable it by default now. It works but its buggy and may require rebooting PMS on a daily basis.
I have a Yamaha AVR that has DLNA I want to use for lossless music served from Plex and the app shows the meta data, covers, songs great. But when I hit play, it says unable to play! Both Plex and Yamaha say the lossless format is compatible but, when I play a lossy file, it plays that fine! How can I get these lossless files to play that both Plex and Yamaha say I can play on DLNA?
I've previously used MiniDLA on a headless Raspberry Pi to serve content to Roku devices. Since the Roku devices include a DLNA capable media player I could stream to any TV without any additional setup. I used this solution for a couple of years and it worked perfectly.
I have used PS3Mediasever to push DLNA content to devices like our Samsung home theater in a box kit which is my parents 5.1 speaker setup that they use so I could watch the media on my PC which includes both video and audio I ripped myself from disc to mkv and flac format
They developed an awesome client that ran on the old Google platform but I don't think they ever ported it over to the Meta platform. It was super cool and had social features too : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kF1QaOlk1r0.html
The Roku media player on the Roku tv"s and devices will also pickup the DLNA plex server and you can watch that way. I found sometimes it is more stable than the plex app.
I just have a Chromecast hooked up to my normal TV and then from my laptop or smartphone navigate Plex either online or app and then cast it. Works great.
Your music playlists is EXACTLY what I thought it would be 😂 I love you for it! Gen X / old millennial mainstream “alternative” 🙄music lovers unite! I say alt in quotes because when someone asked us what we listened to that was the answer. No wonder our parents, or anyone with a brain, gave us a weird look when we said that. I think we all just wanted to feel different than the status quo, but in reality we were the status quo ourselves. We had the greatest childhood didn’t we?
@@christophervanzetta I’m sad to hear that, can you give a little bit of details regarding your setup? Jellyfin works great for me (I use it as a system package with apt)
