Serviio is a free media server. It allows you to stream your media files (music, video or images) to renderer devices (e.g. a TV set, Bluray player, games console or mobile phone) on your connected home network. There is also a paid for Pro edition($25) which further enhances the possibilities of sharing content in your connected household. Serviio works with many devices from your connected home (TV, Playstation 3, XBox 360, smart phones, tablets, etc.). It supports profiles for particular devices so that it can be tuned to maximise the device's potential and/or minimize lack of media format playback support (via transcoding). Free vs Pro comparison. Pro version costs $25.

I've been using Serviio now for 8 years, and I'm very pleased with it. I first began using it back in 2014 with Windows Vista and then switched over to Linux Mint in 2017 and then to Debian in 2020 (I'm still using the same computer as I was using in 2014, but switched Operating Systems since Vista lost support in 2017 and Linux Mint became too resource intensive for the 2007 computer). Serviio runs perfectly on the computer now with Debian. I love the mobile app and the Media Browser (Requires the Pro version, which is $25, a nice price for a one-time and it supports the developer). Also the 2.X versions allow users, so I can have different family members have their own assortment of music and listening history. The setup process on Windows is straight forward, but can be a little more tricky if you're using Linux. I do wish updates would be more often and that the plugins would have greater support. Other than that, Serviio is a terrific Media Server application.

Love it. I've looked at other DLNA and was always underwhelmed. But Serviio changed my mind. It gives me everything I need for playback from my Sony BD players -- along with browsing for movies, photos, and music. I liked it so much that I go the PRO version -- not because I needed any of the advanced capabilities, but instead because I think a software project this good needs to be supported.

I can't believe it still requires Java 6 and asks you to install Java 6 upon installation.
This should be upgraded to use Java 7.
