| Subject | dlna server for roku? |
| Message-ID | <En3Ud-fsQF-3@gated-at.bofh.it> |
I'd like to watch my own video files on a Roku; apparently what I need
is DLNA software on my server..
I found this note: https://support.roku.com/article/208754908
Roku Media Player has been tested to work with the following DLNA servers:
MiniDLNA/ReadyDLNA/ReadyMedia
-- and a few others that I'm not about to bother trying
I haven't read anything really good about
MiniDLNA/ReadyDLNA/ReadyMedia, so before I spend who knows how much
time tring to get it working, is there some other DLNA server software
that I should be looking at?
Thanks
Lee

MiniDLNA works for me. I stream to Roku devices, and it's packaged in Debian. Sometimes some media or other doesn't appear on the end device. When that happens I just transcode it (It hasn't happened to anything where I'd be concerned about the fidelity of doing so) -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net

Getting MiniDLNA to work was surprisingly easy :) 2 obvious issues tho: 1. fast forward/reverse doesn't show thumbnail pics so I get a rough idea of what I'm skipping over. Is there some way to enable that? 2. this > Sometimes some media or other doesn't appear on the end device. > When that happens I just transcode it (It hasn't happened to anything > where I'd be concerned about the fidelity of doing so) Do you use handbrake, winff or something else to transcode to mp4? Thanks Lee

I'm afraid I don't know, but, my first thought is, I'd check whether this is actually a property of the dlna server or something the client is responsible for. >> Sometimes some media or other doesn't appear on the end device. >> When that happens I just transcode it (It hasn't happened to anything >> where I'd be concerned about the fidelity of doing so) > >Do you use handbrake, winff or something else to transcode to mp4? ffmpeg on the command-line. -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net

I can recommend MiniDLNA. It streams without problems from my Raspberry Pi. I do not have a Roku device, but it have tested it with 3 other devices successfully.
