Serviio

What is a good free dnla media server for windows 7, similar to playon? I am trying to use a media server that is similar to playon, but free. I bought a sony bdps570, it is dnla enabled, I'm trying to use tversity, which I do like, and found out it is not dlna. I would really like to have it hulu compatible (free, not hulu plus) and play from my library (my harddrive). If you use a particular one, please tell me why you like it. Thanks for your input.

Windows 7 will stream over DLNA natively through Windows Media. Nothing has to be installed. However, you get several advantages by using something like Serviio, such as reliable transcoding and accurate release dates for media. That second point could be important if you have more than one media file with the same name. For example, There are several movies titled "A Christmas Carol". However, they all have different release dates. When Windows 7 streams the movie the release date shown in your player is the date of the file, not the movie itself. Serviio uses Internet sources and grabs the correct release date and shows that in the player screen, so you can select the desired movie. Another example is "Dragnet", with versions from 1954 & 1987, as well as the TV series versions.

You do realize that Serviio has two versions, both free and pro, right? The free version is outstanding, with no crippling compared to the pro version. Pro just adds some additional options. While I don't really have a need for the pro version, I think I'm going to pay for it anyway because this is just such a good product and I want to support the developer.

Just use Serviio free, it will do what you list as requirements and us excellent..... All for free
