Tiny DLNA Server Application
A DLNA server is an application that allows you to play digital content from your computer to other devices. This type of media server is available for a variety of platforms and is free to download. It is a standard way of sharing media and can be accessed from a PC, smartphone, tablet, or TV.
A DLNA server is useful for browsing and playing your digital content on your home network. Most devices and computers today support DLNA. Whether you want to watch a video or listen to your favorite songs, a DLNA server is the way to go.
The process of setting up a DLNA server is relatively simple. Usually, you will only need to enable "Share video and music libraries via UPnP" in the System menu of your XBMC. Once you have it enabled, your PC will automatically become a DLNA server.
While you can use a DLNA server to share your digital media, it may be difficult to stream long-formatted files. Alternatively, you can transcode your media. Depending on the device, it may take a while to transcode a large amount of files.
You can also use the built-in Windows Media Player Library to browse and stream your audio and video files. If the library cannot be accessed, it can be fixed in the Troubleshooter.
Another option is to download an open source media server. These solutions are available for all major operating systems. They provide a high-quality streaming experience.
