Hi i have problems to share hd contend to my original xbox through XBMC4Xbox becuase most of the content in h264 they are generally too high resolution for the old Xbox hardware capabilities. i spent some days making profiles but none work becuase despite of video trascoding, the bitrate still to high for the hardware. after some time in undestand how the dlna profiles work i made it, i tested some days and is working in all my hd media. i share my little contribution to the community. i choose trancoding 480p instead 720p beacuse the quality of the video, 480p have more bitrate and better codec instead of have a video 720p with low bitrate and other codec to make work in the xbox. <?xml version="1.0"?> <Profile xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

I only choose to beat this dead horse because the difficulty I'm having in this area stands in such stark contrast to the rapid and amazing development work going on everywhere else around this platform, from the server feature set and add-ons to the mobile apps. MediaBrowser is a stunning achievement and plays a central role in my house. In short, the Xbox 360 cannot "see" the MB3 DLNA server on the network when I access the "System Video Player" app. What it's really looking for, as far as I can tell, is a Windows Media Player Sharing or equivalent service, since Windows PCs and other third-party DLNA servers on my network appear in this list. In lieu of directly accessing the DLNA server using System Video Player, as I do via the "equivalent" Media Player app on the Xbox One with great success, I often use my mobile app or the web interface to "Play To" the console. However, this only works for certain files and file types. For example, Play To seems to attempt to play MP4s directly to the console, even if the files in question meet the criteria for transcoding under the Xbox 360 profile, resulting in consistent failure (the biggest problem with the playback of my MP4s on my 360 is the number of large files in my library encoded with 64-bit offsets). I have attempted to make use of MBC and the Xbox 360 MCE for media playback, as the interface is beautiful, fun, and intuitive. However, it is an inelegant and impermanent solution for a number of reasons and MBC seems to be nearly deprecated anyway. There are other things I need my Windows client PC doing besides hosting a RD connection from my 360 and transcoding video files off a network share. I have attempted to run alternative, third-party DLNA servers that the 360 will recognize (such as Serviio), alongside MB3, but I hate them. For one thing, MB3 is the only DLNA server I know of that discerns the difference between a 32-bit MP4 (which I would want the 360 to play directly) and a 64-bit MP4 (which I would want/need transcoded), which means any other solution will necessarily transcode absolutely everything at great cost to my server's performance. But most of all, by not using MB3 as my DLNA server, I lose access to the amazing plugins/add-ons and content management solutions employed by MB3, including and especially Collections and Playlists. Short of buying an Xbox 360 for the development team or replacing my own Xbox with a Roku, options that have been categorically denied to me by my wife, what can be done? P.S. I'm obsessed with MediaBrowser. As I mentioned on Twitter a few months ago, it's revolutionized entertainment in my home. The first thing I do every morning is log into the web interface to see if there's a new beta release of the server. I'm tech savvy, but not a dev, so if I can be of any help here, please let me know!

Hi, I have a Denon CEOL piccolo network music player, which I am trying to get to work with Media Browser. I can browse the Media Browser server and play the music from the Denon absolutely fine. When playing music from Media Browser, the Media Browser Server active devices pane lists the Denon and what it is playing. I can also use the "Play To" option on the Windows 8 context menu with no problems. The problem lies in trying to push music from the Media Browser server to the Denon. In the DLNA options menu I have "Enable DLNA Play To" checked, I have also created a profile, which I believe the Denon is using. When browsing my music using the Media Browser server the select play menu doesn't contain the Denon device, and I would like to be able to control it this way. SO my question is what do I need to do to enable this functionality? Many thanks.

Hi guys! I have looked and didn't find anything about this. So my problem is this. with kodi/xbmc you can choose an option "play using" when you right click on a movie and you can stream to an other device using dlna/upnp. I would like to do this but with the mediabrowser plugin for kodi. Is there a solution for this or something that is worth taking a look on?

Hi , playing movies with idx/sub over dlna has never worked for me, I been using the latest dev build and every time I try to play a movie with sub/idx my tv respond with a "format not supported" error. Playing the same movie with a srt subtitle works just fine. The reason that sub/idx doesn't work is that the transcoding is failing when it cant find the .sub file when the path contains a whitespace as the cmdline reference -i isn't inclosed in "-marks. The last row in the transcoding log tells the tale.(see example below) I guess this would be an easy thing to fix ?

When I try to play any video via DLNA to my Samsung smart tv I get message "please check your network connection" and file can’t be played. When I firstly installed media browser all was fine but suddenly I started getting that message. Could someone help me sort this problem? My TV is properly connected to network.

Hello All, seeking DLNA help. I'm running Server Version 3.0.5490.2 on windows 7 64bit, and would like to play some m4a files on my PS3. To get there, I tried to add to the container section in the PS3 profile an audio element, but only got offerings for video and pictures. Is this intended behaviour? It seems that ffmpeg is able to do the job, so is there a way to make the changes in the xml file as the gui seems not to support the Audio containter section? What do I need to do?

I was testing a few things today on @@MrWebsmith server and I noticed that I was able to control some of his devices even though he set that I cant control other users. All DLNA and LAN type devices that don't use profiles are listed of course but should probably not be visible to users outside the LAN. I'm off to start 3 streams now on Smith's server.

Hi, I am enrolled in the Xbox One Preview Program, and have access to the Media Player - Preview app. The app now supports DLNA, but when I open it, it can't find the Media Browser DLNA server. Is there something I have to set up in Media Browser Server for the app to be able to see the server?

I am starting to mess with DLNA but having all sorts of issues.. Since I am a newbie at it, I have to assume I am doing almost everything wrong. Having said that, before I start posting issues/questions, it sure would be nice to follow a DLNA startup guide to start with. Anyone ?

Looking for suggestions, because honestly, I'm not even sure where to start with this one: With the release of 3.0.5366.22005, the PS3 finally sees the content in the MB3 server (Thank you 7illusions. You rock!) However, some of my files will not play smoothly. The audio sounds fine, but the video is herky-jerky, stalling, speeding up, slowing down, just all over the place, but always in exactly the same places on every playback from both my test server and my production server. Normally I would start by zeroing in on the differences, such as containers and codecs, between the files that work and those that don't, but in this case I can't seem to find anything consistent. All of the files are MKVs. All of the standard definition content seems to have problems, but so does some of the HD content. At one point I was even narrowing my focus down to two movies, one worked and one didn't. Both MKVs, 1920x800 at 23.976 fps, AVC High Profile 4.1, DTS-HD MA, about a 5 min runtime difference with overall bitrates within 300 Kbps of each other. The one consistent element: if I adjust the PS3 transcoding profile to anything but mp3, no file has sound but the video plays smooth on every file.

So I am trying to initiate play back on my Xbox One via the Web interface, and the Windows Modern App. Whn I try to the xbox launches Xbox Video and then just sits with a black screen before eventually just going to it's home page. Here are the logs from my Server: Any ideas?

Doesn't look like your TV supports DTS. Supported File Formats This TV is capable of playing back the following types of files. For more information, refer to the "Subtitle and Media Contents file formats, and Codec" section. ●● Photos: .bmp, .jpg, .mpo, .png ●● Music: .aac, .flac, .m4a, .mpa, .mp3, .ogg, .wma ●● Video: .3gp, .avi, .asf, .flv, .m2ts, .mkv, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .mts, .svi, .ts, .tp, .trp, .vob, .vro, .webm, .wmv ●● Subtitles: .ass, .psb, .smi, .srt, .ssa, .sub, .ttxt, .txt With .avi, .mkv, and .mp4 files, the TV supports embedded subtitles. http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201308/20130813133020082/[ENG_US]X12ATSCF-1.119.pdf Look at page 147.

So I used to stream to the Xbox One Video app through DLNA and that worked most of the time and the quality was great (I always had transcode at best quality). Then the web based video player started working better than before so I stopped using DLNA for a while. Now with the new Server release and improvements in DLNA I decided to go try it again. It works as far as playing the movie but now I notice they have heavy artifacts. I double checked my transcode settings and they are still set to best quality. If I play the same movie in the browser it looks great. Is there a new setting I don't know about or is this just something that might've inadvertently taken a step back?

Creating a custom profile won't allow (Max sync bitrate:) to be saved, unless you modify it in the xml. Every time you save in server ui it overwrites it. <MaxStaticBitrate xsi:nil="true" /> Version 3.0.5346.22797

Since I updated, my dlna okay to on my samsung tv seems to be broke. It plays the first couple seconds of the video then stops. It happens on more than just one file. I will try and get some logs.

I recently purchased a Phillips SmartTV. I also recently upgraded my old MediaBrowser for Windows 7 Media Center to the latest server/client on the web site. My Windows Media Center looks and works great! But when I try to connect to the DLNA server via my new TV, there is a problem. I can see the server. I can browse to my movie/TV show folders. But as soon as I rest the cursor (on the TV) on a video file, the screen goes blank for about 2 seconds....and then it dumps me out to the menu. The TV is a 4000 series 32PFL4909. The server is running on a quad core processor with 8 GB of RAM. As of now, I am connected via WiFi but I plan on connecting via wired Gbit Ethernet. However, over the wireless, I am streaming HD video via NetFlix and other apps on the TV just fine. I have no problem going through the logs and such. I am an IT guy. I just thought I would post this topic first and see if this was something you folks had seen before and knew of an easy fix. Thank you in advance for the help. Happy

Hi All - I would appreciate a quick check to see if anyone else is experiencing the loss of playback controls before I add logs and screen shots. I have a great new Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 running Android 4.4.2. I have MB3 app 1.0.45 installed which works a treat. I am using the tablet/app to direct the playback to my DLNA recognized HP MediaSmart X280N extender's interface rather than to Media Center. Most of the time the playback controls disappear after a few seconds and I can't find a way to bring them back up. Anybody else see this or know how to get the controls back in the app display? Thanks, Tanamur

Hi Community - I would appreciate some hardware advice to purchase during my upcoming trip to the USA. I live in Asia and can't fully use (or order from Amazon) streaming devices like Roku, FireTV, Samsung Smart Media Player, etc. By this I mean that all of the features like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon video are blocked through a standard internet connection in my country. I have had a taste of the ease of using my Android app to stream to my old DLNA compliant HP Mediasmart Media Center extender. I love the convenience of not loading the media center client, dealing with overscan settings and codec support by treating it as just a DLNA client. However, it is old and on its way out. I should mention that I had a look around in the shops for one of the Android mini-PC's but nothing is sold here other than some overpriced US$250 clunky settop boxes catering to Mandarin characters which I don't read. So, it appears the logical and positive choice is a Chromecast device. I would appreciate if anyone could verify if this is working well enough with the Android MB3 app and an HDMI & USB slot on the TV. Thanks in advance, Tanamur

This may already be possible just wasnt sure. I want to change the display name that comes up on the DLNA device when browsing. At the moment all devices see the server as 'Media Browser' im pretty sure I saw a setting somewhere to change it per device but I would prefer the change to be server wide. Is this possible? Dont want to have to edit each profile individually as I woild prefer to ensure they are always updated with server releases (and individual editing gets messy and unreliable) Any advice much appreciated.

No problem with DLNA server or play-to, but was wondering what I can do to show the movie art work.. Only artwork that is smaller than 500 pixels, shows up complete with coverart treatment.. I tried playing with some of the settings, but do not see any changes..

I am hoping someone who is more knowledgeable than me can help me with an idea I am trying to implement. I have an old stereo amplifier and some nice floorstanding speakers that have been consigned to our old storage unit because the WAF is low and the house was too small. Now we have moved I have been allowed to resurrect them (if I refurbish the speakers that is). I want to install them in our conservatory so we can easily listen to music in there and in the garden. the problem I have is that the amplifier is an old analogue only unit (Kenwood KA3020SE) and all our media is on the UnRAID server. What I want to do is use mediabrowser on phone or tablet (or the mediabrowser server or htpc) to stream music to the amplifier. Simple! My ideal budget to achieve this is as cheap as humanly possible. My best idea is to use a Raspberry Pi with a WI-Fi dongle. Connect the RPi audio output to the amplifier auxiliary input with phono cables. The Rpi would be connected to my home network using the Wi-Fi. Could I then use the DLNA capabilities of Mediabrowser to achieve this, assuming I use Volumio for the RPi OS. This can be achieved for about £40 (and therefore can be my father's day present) and will have a good WAF (I hope). Does anyone have any experience in this or any ideas or any suggestions or just mocking me for missing a really obvious alternative solution that is a similar price or cheaper?

This ones for a mate but I guess I can see the benefit. Requesting an option in the DLNA to display content using the file name and folder structure as apposed to metadata only Another option I thouhht may be beneficial is when displayed using metadata prepend the episode number to the episode name Let me know if further clarification is needed

While eiditing DLNA profiles from the dashboard I noticed there is no way to actually edit Codec Profiles conditions... the dialog box shown only allows for Codec name capture and type selection but no options for actual conditions are shown. Is this still under development? Edit: Using Dev Version 3.0.5244.3878

Server Version 3.0.5239.43180 Extender: HP MediaSmart Connect x280n Hi Devs - I just wanted to report that you have breathed a bit of new life into my old extender which has been showing up for quite sometime but not responding to play-to commands. EDIT NOTE: Fix Dlna Play To/Server issues with WDTV live devices (may benefit other devices as well). Well, after the dev update today, I am able to redirect playback from my web client and Android tablet client to the extender's native interface (not Media Center-see above). In this mode I was able to play MP4, MKV and ISO content to the device. This is a big thing. The controls are still quirky (tablet controls disappear, remote control pause/resume causes restart from beginning, etc) but this development direction is great. Is there anything I can do to improve this with something other than the default profile? The closest profile/device is the Linksys DMA2100. Thanks, Tanamur
