Kodi, Serviio and Samsung
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2015 5:10 pm
Hi, new to DLNA and Kodi/Serviio so please bear with me.
I have searched everywhere to try and find an answer to my issue but to no avail - hence the request. Is there anyone who is able to offer any advice please on the following....
I have set up Kodi and Serviio within Ubuntu running as a virtual machine in Virtual Box to be used as a streaming VM. I have a Samsung Smart TV that can see my serviio server running in this VM on my network. What I am hoping to do is access the VM remotely from an Android tablet to stream movies etc from the Kodi GUI (Navi X, Icefilms etc)to Serviio for transcoding using the Samsung profile in order that they can be played on the TV.
I am unsure how to get Kodi to 'play' a video direct to Serviio (is it using the playercorefactory.xml with Serviio set up as the 'player' for the rules section). I would then like to just select Serviio as the UPnP source on the TV to view the stream - is it that simple? Sorry if this sounds a really stupid question and I would really appreciate any help from more well informed individuals .
Many Thanks.
