What is a good reliable client for UPnP/DLNA for Windows
Posted: Sat May 30, 2015 9:30 am
I've tried Kodi, it's confusing and has no DLNA that I can find except a server, but no player, also videos do not render video, only audio, I turned off hw acceleration in Kodi to fix this, but the video is still blank.
VLC takes forever to load the playlist, and sometimes doesn't display all of the files. the only version of VLC that I could find that even tried to work is version 2.0.5, all other versions are far more buggy.
MediaMonkey will see the DVD files, but when I attempt to play them, it either stalls or says it's missing codecs, even after downloading the codec pack it suggests.
the problem I am having is that, I just bought the intel iView CyberPC, it's more aesthetically pleasing in the living room. When I want to watch a DVD, I wanted to stream this from my bedroom PC to the iView CyberPC
all attempts have sort of failed so far, except the VLC worked off and on
sharing the DVD through Windows Shared Folders also failed, the video tried to play but was heavily pixelated, same as when I shared it over FTP.
while there seems to be a lot of information online about running a media server, there is little to no information on how to actually play the media.
if anyone could give me tips or point me in the right direction for a good stable media player, it would be most appreciated. This is all giving me a headache,
oh yeah, tried Foobar2000 also, with the upnp plugin. This also didn't work.
Thank you.
