Emby shows 7096 Artists, 14850 Albums, 202,394 songs. Why are so few available from Emby's DLNA server?

HI, that's a good question. Are you able to use another dlna viewer to browse in a non-indexed way? How many do you see there? 

Usually dlna apps don't have a scanning function.

WiiM Home has a scanning function. I will look for another app, and post this on WiiM forum.

Question: Does DLNA support all audio types in Emby??

What do you mean exactly? All of emby's supported audio types can be used with Emby dlna.

You answered my question about file types. I was thinking maybe only mp3 files. I have been unable to find another DLNA client for my Mac. They all seem to do video only.

This is the thread on the WiiM forum: .OOps. cant post a URL.

What about a dlna app for your smart phone? There's a million of them, such as bubbleupnp if you have android.

bubbleupnp seems to find many more artists (but no count listing), and thus far there are no playable tracks under the artists. There are albums that play under Recent. I'll wait and see.

Hi, what and see for what?

To see if there are albums and tracks under the Artists. I am not sure how long it takes to scan everything.

Bubbleupnp is slowly filling in.
