DLNA server often disappearing from network

Post by msssm »

TS-110
Version: 4.2.6

Hello,

I'm browsing DLNA servers with BubbleUPnP from Android. Often the DLNA server is not appearing in the network anymore. Old Links to files on the DLNA still work but I cannot browse the server anymore. Then I always need to restart the DLNA server on the QNAP. What can I do to solve this?
Is this part of the App "Media Streaming add-on"? I have version V421.1.2.1 from 2020/03/13.

I find MinimServer 100% reliable and available from the App Store.

I wasn't aware that there is a bunch of DLNA server solution available for QNAP.
MinimServer-0.8.5.2 I can find on the AppCenter, but Twonky not. Where do I find that?

So it's not like you said, included on my NAS? I need to installed it from 3rd party resources? Which build would be the right for my hardware?
Anyway I would like to prefer the default packages from QNAP first before going to add 3rd party packages. And I hope I don't need to fix unreliable QNAP packages with 3rd party packages.

So for now, which default solution are there for DLNA servers? As far as I can see this is:
  • Media Streaming add-on
  • MinimServer
