Ploblem with Mini DNLA server

Post by Htnut » Sun Apr 15, 2018 17:03

I am trying to use the DNLA server so that I can view recorded programs in another room.

I have tried to use my Panasonic TV media player and also a Roku ultra.

Both devices see the DNLA server. The Panasonic displays the file list but if I select an item it says "cannot read file"

I can see the Roku reading a list but then it says "no compatible video files".

Both devices have no problems with the DNLA server on my Synology NAS

Any help would be appreciated

Are you sure that your TV is compatible with .ts media files?

What happens if you copy a recording onto your Synology NAS and then try to get the TV to play it from there?

Thanks MrQuade.

I think you are probably right about both devices not supporting .ts files. I had no trouble streaming to my PC

Since the requirement is only for a short time while I upgrade my main theater I have installed a spare T3 for the T4 files and use the Roku for the NAS files.

Not very elegant but at least it works reliably
