Noob Question

Hi guys I am new here and I was recommended this software as a alternative to Samsung All Share and I love it all the plug ins available make this so sweet but I have one quick question. Is there a way or an option or mod or plugin available to servio where I am able to automatically send/command servio via my PC to play this movie to my TV? For example in Samsung all share there is a quick right click option when navigating through your media folders to "Play in this Device" and usually your TV is the option in my case my Samsung TV show up and as soon as I hit the option to play my TV automatically starts playing the movie without having to queue up the movie via the TV's own All-share app and instead I am sending the command to play it with my PC with the Servio application.


Also sorry mods if I am asking in the wrong thread.

Yes, you have to use a "DLNA Media Controller" with "Play to" function. (Serviio does not implement this, its only a DLNA media server)
For example, the INTEL dev Upnp Tool: AV Media Controller implement this feature.
