Of course, you can simply connect your computer to the TV, but with the help of special solutions, access to multimedia files is possible from any device. However, for those looking to build a home server and stream media to all of their devices, there are still excellent software solutions. Microsoft is no longer releasing Windows Home Server and is ending support for Windows Media Center. " option for a single device or for a group of individual devices. There is also support for controlling Digital Media Renderer devices, in which you can use the "Play on.

The server also supports external and internal subtitles. UрnP-DLNA-HTTP supports digital TV, which can also be redirected to another device. You can redirect Internet radio and Internet TV streams to another media device.

Feature Home Media Server (UpnP-DLNA-HTTP)

Transcoding can be selected from any minute. It is also possible to convert the media frame format to the playback screen format. The server includes a transcoder (FFMPEG), which allows converting media into a format that will be supported by the playback device. This may have been due to exiting while the program was still scanning folders when the media library was still enabled, but it's stupid Java, so who knows.Home Media Server (UpnP-DLNA-HTTP) is a server providing media resources ( audio and video files, images, photos) computer with another UPnP ( DLNA) devices on the home network - TVs ( Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony, Toshiba, etc.), game consoles ( Sony Playstation, XBOX), media players ( WD TV Live, Popcorn Hour, Dune, Boxee Box, IconBit, ASUS O! Play, iPad / iPhone / iPod), mobile and RDA devices. One time so far the javaw.exe process stayed stuck in memory on exit, consuming over a GB of RAM. And it doesn't mention that the server has to be restarted to recognize this change. I had to disable transcoding of mp4 and others, because it was transcoding most files even though my WDTVLive device supports them directly just fine. I disabled and forego the media library to avoid this. Only caveats I've found: - The database size it creates for a modest media library it rather large, and takes forever to scan. But the program is nicely configurable, and does work rather well. Well, it's still a thing made with yucky Java, but at least now it includes its own runtime of it, so there's no ancient security risk, system polluting, full Java install required anymore! Of course, being Java, it's a RAM, CPU, and disk space hog.
