Serviio

Serviio is a DLNA program that allows you to share files on your local network and access them from other devices via streaming. For example, you can have a folder of videos on your computer, and, thanks to Serviio, access it directly from your TV through the DLNA protocol.

To use it, all you have to do is download the program, which will create a local server on your own computer. After that, simply add the folders with the content you want to share. After adding and saving folders, the program will scan all the content and display it on the other device. Everything you add to this folder on your computer will be automatically updated on the database.

When it comes to streaming, Serviio is able to send sound, video, and subtitles in native format, or transcode it in real time to adapt it to the requirements of the device in question. It's also possible to stream online content and use playlists. It's even capable of creating cover art automatically.

Therefore, if you want to turn your computer into a DLNA server to access certain content from your TV instead of carrying it around on a pendrive, downloading Serviio is one of the best options.
