OK I tested it and found the following, feel free to correct me:

DTS support: I couldn't get it to output DTS, it converted it to 128kbps MP3
Automatic plugin download/install: Couldn't see the option, it just says "open plugins folder"
Unlimited folders on PS3 & Xbox: I guess it's true because you can't see the folder structure in the first place
Maximum network bandwidth setting: Where is it?
DVD support: I put a DVD in the drive and tried to add it but it only recognized hard drives, not my disk drive
AC-3 remuxing: It is converting AC-3 to 128kbps MP3
3D SBS video support: Confirmed it works

So for now they are all no except unlimited folders and 3D

I really want to try UMS on my Synolgy NAS but finding it impossible to use as it doesnt have a web based console. Any ideas if there will be web console for NAS users?

Yes, we're working on it and it should be finished pretty soon

On the comparison page it says Serviio doesnt have "web interface so it supports even devices without DLNA support"
This feature was done over a year ago called Serviio MediaBrowser - http://serviio.org/component/content/ar ... diabrowser
So it works on PS4 and iOS products very nicely based on HTML5
You can also adjust the bitrate based on network speed.

With PLEX, you can download/install plugins with its web ui

I guess we can mark the Serviio web support as partial since it's only in the paid edition and it's a plugin, albeit a bundled one - we don't list the features in our plugins on the comparison page either.

Thanks for the info

Interested to know if it's possible. Or does ATV even support DLNA?

ATV3 has several apps in the app store that support DLNA. However, when I use ATV3 to connect to my Windows UMS server for some reason none of the apps can display folder structure (says no folders or files). I tried several apps and they all fail with the same symptoms. My PS3 works correctly though.

I think you meant ATV4. Apple TV3 doesn't have an app store. Apple TV4 does have an app store, I tested Infuse and it work fine (including displaying the folder structure) with UMS 5.3.1.

As for AT3, you would need to use a phone or tablet running a DLNA application that supports AirPlay. I use nPlayer with great success, but Skifta, Infuse, and TwonkyBeam all work as well. (My iPad/iPhone runs the DLNA client and transmits the audio/video to the Apple TV using AirPlay).

Need to add Mezzmo to your comparison list. www.mezzmo.com
