DLNA allows you to play your media files from a server to a client using an industry standard instead of a manufacturer's proprietary protocol. 3 Streaming/Casting MediaMonkey Audio to a DLNA or Chromecast RendererĭLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a certified industry standard that allows DLNA Servers, DLNA Clients and DLNA Control Points to interact.A Pro version, which allows users to transcode video and audio where required, is also available with prices starting from $19.99. TVersity Media Server Free 3.0 is available now as a free (for non-commercial use) download for PCs running Windows XP or later. Version 3.0 also debuts a brand new interface, which has been significantly simplified and built using HTML5 - users can access it through their web browser.ĭespite the tweaks, TVersity still feels less polished and refined than rival media servers such as Plex and MediaBrowser, but it’s an interesting choice for those looking for a relatively simple DLNA/UPNP sharing solution. Again, Pro users gain support for viewing all formats through their device via WEBM/VP8 transcoding. Support for Roku comes from the built-in Roku Media Player app, and Pro users will be able to stream any format to their Roku devices via on-the-fly transcoding using H.264 and HLS streaming.Ĭhromecast users can browse, select and search for media via the all-new HTML5 interface. TVersity Media Server runs on Windows PCs and provides a UPNP/DLNA media server for accessing that computer’s media library from other devices, including web browser, mobile, PS3, Xbox 360 and - from version 3.0 - both Roku media players and Chromecast devices.
