Amazon Fire TV & Serviio
Does it support dlna? If not will Serviigo work?
Cheers!

I did a quick search for a DLNA player in their app store, and did find something (can't remember the name). However, it's going to need a profile written for it. I couldn't play anything on her Serviio machine (I think they're all MKV videos). I haven't had time to run a sniffer to see what media it supports. Maybe I can get to it this weekend, but I have to travel next week so maybe not.
Amazon doesn't claim DLNA support at this time, although there are rumors that something might be released later this year. Kind of like the Roku. Never offered "official" DLNA support until earlier this year. Now it's working quite well, and unfortunately has made to previous private channels that offered DLNA into also-rans.

Did you get a chance to play with this at all?

I selected Vlc, it worked ok but Vlc is a bit clunky , I suspect xbmc would of been better. I didn't use the good built in player as used by Plex, while it's very good it lacks dts support which irks me. Xbmc does dts.....
