Serviio

On PS3 if an error occurred it picked right back up, on PS4 if the media freezes the router won't recognize the server program anymore and requires a reset (tried on both my Rogers router, and my D-Link with the same result).

But yeah, a proper profile would be nice.

I don't recall having that issue. I tried multiple files that refused to play, but I had no problem playing working files after that.

I'm on a mac and have Serviio 1.5.2, and have no idea why things aren't showing up.

Edit - I've compiled a PS4 profile from a PS3 profile, simply tweaking it until everything ran (though it's also been tailored to my network connection quality and throughput). I'm posting it here however in case anyone can improve native play functions with tweaks/proper profile references, or wants to tweak it to their own network (or whatever - you can use it as if if you want!)
