DLNAServer Customer Insights

1. Also folder names are unusual, i.e. "Audios"Does what it's meant to, and is free! Only issue I have is media file listings aren't auto refreshing when new media is added, even though I have 'Auto update media' enabled.

2. One question i have is: What is the 'always use saf' option do in the settings? Quick google search didnt help since, based one the results it gave me, google seems to want to sell me a patio table umbrella instead relevant search results.

3. Some examples of DLNA clients: PlayStation 4, most smart TVs, any PC or phone with a DLNA aware media player like VLC.

4. The workaround is to simply restart the device, and then the media listing will be updated.When it works, It's great.

5. Added the directory, started the server and it appeared instantly, does what it says, that makes it better than 80% of all apps on the play store.

6. Sometimes it streams perfectly, most of the time it will play media for 10 or 20 minutes and stop.

7. Am I doing something wrong? I have Serviio on my laptop and it does not need to rescan the library every time I open it.

8. 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).

9. Not all files are supported by all clients.I had a little difficulty figuring this app out at first... But only because I was expecting some confliction between devices or an incorrect strange setting.

10. Very frustrating because I know this is a good app when it is working correctly.No ads, easy to setup, and does what it's supposed to.

11. The only downside is that the server continues to automatically start upon boot despite it being unticked in the settings area.
