DLNA Streaming Not Working

[CoreMoo]

Version 5.02.2531

Started media sharing server to serve mp4 videos. All default Settings.

Trying to stream from ViMu Media App and VLC on Amazon FireTV. I am able to see the MediaMonkey DLNA server and browse the categories. When I try to start a video, the app displays a message "Unable to play the Media".

On the MediaMonkey server side, a dialog pops up "MediaMonkey is unable to decode this format" with Cancel and "Find Missing Codec" buttons

By the way, the exact same configuration on MediaMonkey 4 WORKS. What could be the problem?

Check the Auto-Conversion rules in the Media Server: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... PnP_(DLNA)

Compare it to the MediaMonkey 4 settings. Also did you maybe have the MediaMonkey Codec Pack installed with MediaMonkey 4 and not with MediaMonkey 5?

Lastly try to stream an MP3 file and see if that actually works or not.

I installed a "Trial" codec pack (MM_Codec_Pack_Trial_3.0.6.mmip) and the DLNA client was able to play the video. However the playback was so choppy it was unwatchable. In MM4 I didn't have to install any additional codecs, everything just works out of the box. So I uninstalled MM5 and rolled back to MM4. It's unfortunate I had to go back to the previous version to get a functioning DLNA server.

That may be down to differences in Auto-Conversion settings between the 2 MediaMonkey's.

Hi,
Strange, we have found that MM5 supported more formats.

Can you open support ticket and supply us DL link for one file for analyze.
