About this app

Simple a DLNA compatible media server. It allows stream multimedia files (photo / music / video) from Android devices to any UPnP / DLNA client, for example, Smart TV, Play Station or Xbox 360, etc.
There is support playlists (m3u, m3u8, pls) just specify the playlist file.
Now server supports getting data from SMB and FTP. Just add Network share like: smb://user:pass@server/share or ftp://user:pass@server:port/ftpdir

If you get errors, feel free to send me a log from the app settings.

Ratings and reviews

The app is genuinly good. It's minimalistic interface suits it well. I fact, it's one of a kind for someone who needs dlna streaming from their phone. However, there are minor issues. In particular, there seem to be no way to list all albums irrespective of artists (one can enable Artists folder). Also folder names are unusual, i.e. "Audios"

I use this to steam to my PS4. First time I used the app it worked no problem. Now I have to sit here and start and stop the server numerous times before it will work. Sometimes it works after a few tries, sometimes you try 20 times with no luck. When the app works, it's perfect. No ads. No bloated UI. Just a simple, (relatively) easy to use server. One last thing, there's no way to close the app without going into app info and forcing it closed.

No ads, easy to setup, and does what it's supposed to. The downside is it isn't pretty, and no in-app handholding through setup (which is selecting where to look for your pro... Media files). I wish more apps were as good at what they do as DLNAServer is. Some examples of DLNA clients: PlayStation 4, most smart TVs, any PC or phone with a DLNA aware media player like VLC. DLNAServer serves audio, video, and image files. Not all files are supported by all clients.
