Dumb question - how to play content from a DLNA server via Emby

Sorry if this is a dumb question but...

 

I have a Panasonic PVR which can act as a DLNA server. That function is enabled. I have enabled 'Play to' in Emby, which I believe should allow it to 'see' the server and play content from it. Emby apparently sees the server as his appears in them by log:

 

2018-04-24 09:37:27.560 Info App: App Activity: app: DLNA, version: 3.3.1.0, deviceId: uuid:4D454930-0300-1000-8000-20C6EB007A23, deviceName: Network Device

2018-04-24 09:37:27.582 Info Dlna: No matching device profile found. The default will need to be used.
    DeviceDescription:
    FriendlyName:Main PVR
    Manufacturer:Panasonic
    ManufacturerUrl:
    ModelDescription:Panasonic BD/DVD Recorder
    ModelName:BD/DVD Recorder
    ModelNumber:DMR-BWT735
    ModelUrl:
    SerialNumber:
2018-04-24 09:37:27.583 Info Dlna: DLNA Session created for Main PVR - BD/DVD Recorder

 

The machine running the Emby server has its firewall disabled.

 

Nowhere in the Emby UI can I see the DLNA server as a source that I can browse or play media from. Am I misunderstanding how this works? What else do I need to do and where should I be able to find the DLNA server in the EMby UI?

 

Thanks.

We don't currently support browsing content from other dlna servers, although it's a nice idea for the future.
