Need DLNA software

[mlong30]

Hi All,

I finally have all my DLNA devices on the network, and I've tried windows media software, but for reason it works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. Can anyone recommend some good DLNA software I can use on my server that will work on XP, and Windows 7?

Thanks.

I think you mean "DLNA" aka "digital living network alliance" and not "DLA" which means "drive letter access".

Do you want DLNA sources or "receivers"? For a start, I'd try out XBMC.

Sorry about that, I did mean DLNA.

I have the following DLNA devices on my network, and would like to stream video/audio using my blu-ray player to broadcast to my receiver, and TV.

LG 60PZ950 Plasma TV
Oppo BP-93 Blu-Ray Player
Yamaha RXV-2700 Network Receiver

That's what the regular cables are for.

BP-93 -via HDMI-> RXV-2700 -via HDMI-> LG60PZ950 (assuming the yamaha has passthrough).

If you want streaming, you're talking about Netflix/Youtube/Vulu from Internet-connected media device (aka WDTVlive, etc), or from Internet-connected HTPC using something like XBMC, to DLNA "receiver app" capability on your BDP.

The difference is that the "streaming" signal prior to the BDP is still in a highly compressed streaming mediafile format on a standard computer LAN , whereas after the BDP it is decoded into an uncompressed output of realtime, dedicated audio & video (no "file format", no Internet).

You could try Serviio, it works perfectly here on my Panasonic/Samsung TV and Blu-ray. My server is running XP.
http://www.serviio.org

It can stream Internet to DLNA as well as locally stored files.

I basically want to only stream, my own mp3 music files, pictures and HD video files that I shoot personally to my TV using the BP-93. I'm not really interested in Netflix type services.

I've used TVersity, PS3MediaServer, and XBMC (not mentioned but still very good) before.

My favorites:

1 - Mezzmo ($30)
2 - TVersity (free)
3 - PS3 Media Server (free)

If you don't need transcoding, then Twonky is a great little server that I prefer to TVersity or PS3 Media Server.

If your library is large and/or you have several devices then Mezzmo is the winner by landslide.

I've never tried Serviio.

Hi,
You have written TVersity is free. But it is asking for the license key while I am trying to install it.
Can you please tell me how can I do it.?
Thanks.

[Chaurasiya]

Yah i know it is a very old thread but you can see everywhere in the internet it is written free.
Is there anyway i can install it free??
