Dax99 9 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hello I have activated the DLNA Server and I can see it on my LG TV. On my Windows PC I can't see it. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4260 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 DLNA is a last resort to when there is no Emby Client available. For both the LG TV (unless it is a brand new 2021 model) and Windows PC - there are native clients available. For the PC, you have the choice of a few - browser based (no client needed), Theatre etc Have a look below - are scroll down to the App section. https://emby.media/download.html If you really want to see the DLNA on your PC (and not use an emby client), then assuming your PC is on the same network as your emby server, then you may need to open up the firewall so the emby server can be discovered (we know it works as the LG TV can see it) but this is USUALLY not needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax99 9 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 thanks, I know about the apps, but I am still wondering why I couldn't see the DLNA Server. I have disabled the firewall, but i can't see the DLNA in explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your PC on the same LAN/Wifi as the Emby 'Server' ? - ie does it have the same IP subnet - 192.168.0.x for example ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax99 9 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) yes both. DLNA from plex or synology mediaserver on the same NAS works fine. I can see them in windows. Edited November 27, 2021 by Dax99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax99 9 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) I just noticed that dlna is displayed in windows media player, but not in explorer edit: i think I have the same problem like here: Edited November 27, 2021 by Dax99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4260 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 tbh I don't recall ever seeing it in explorer, I don't use DLNA myself so probably need to wait for an answer from a Dev. You can see and play the files in something like VLC and/or Windows Media Player yes ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax99 9 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 yes in vlc, etc. I can see the dlna and play videos. but in the windows explorer the dlna server doesn't appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4260 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 A quick google search reveals it's a Windows issue rather than Emby per-say, as no 'DLNA' devices show in explorer (none of my others do either, such as HD Homerun or AVR), but they all appear just fine in 'Devices'.

Dax99 9 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 that would not explain why I can see plex dlna and synology media server dlna in explorer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still looking into that. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
