It has everything I want and it also has a tray icon with quick access.
And did I forget to say that it is completely free and just works straight out of the box?
Serviio has the console accessible from anywhere.
Oh good.
Can you please tell me how to get Serviio accessible from the tray?
Not quite what he said. True, the system tray icon no longer exists. For console access I simply have a shortcut on my browser favorites bar. Plus, you can access the console from any computer without installing anything, and if your firewall is configured for access you can connect to the console from anywhere on the Internet (don't do this myself). I consider this far more convenient than having the tray icon.
The only other thing the tray icon could do is shut down the Serviio service. I never found that useful, because I couldn't start the service from there, so I still had to either drill into the menu or open the Services applet. The only reason I ever needed to stop the service was because I modified the profiles file, and that means I needed to restart it as well. I guess you could use the icon as an indicator that Serviio was running, but since I've never had an issue with it running on startup, again it wasn't particularly valuable to me. Your mileage may vary, of course.
