By September 28, 2012. DLNA stands for the fairly non-descript ‘Digital Living Network Alliance’ but it’s a subset of UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) a group of protocols designed to enable compliant devices to locate each other over a network and share media without the user having to worry about passwords or network protocols. Most so-called ‘smart’ TVs support DLNA but even if you don’t have a smart TV you probably already have a DLNA-capable device you can plug in — PS3 and Xbox 360 games consoles are DLNA-compliant as is the WD TV Live and many other network media players. The trick with DLNA is that like iOS and Live Streaming you need a DLNA/UPnP server running somewhere on your network where your movies are located. Now there are a few options — Windows 7 actually supports DLNA streaming through its ‘Play to’ feature inside Windows Media Player 12. If you want a non-Microsoft free option TVersity (free but feature-limited) is worth a shot but I prefer Serviio — it’s totally free runs on Windows Mac OS X or Linux and has a wide device support list covering TVs iPhones and the WD TV Live.
It’ll even handle active streaming with onboard transcoding. While many smart TVs are basically ARM-based computers bolted onto big LCD panels DLNA is simple enough to enable more consumer-focused devices like games consoles and compliant Blu-ray players do give you networked media playback. However in practice it doesn’t always work smoothly especially if the server doesn’t understand which codecs the playback device can cope with. That’s why having a DLNA server that understands the playback device’s capabilities makes all the difference.
Stream video to an Xbox 360 Step 1: Download and install Serviio it onto your network server PC or notebook. Share a folder on your PC that contains your movies and/or music files.
WD TV is a good HD media player, and WD TV Live Hub supports a wide variety of the most popular video formats. You can play Internet and personal media on HDTV via WD TV Media Players. But can WD TV Live play MKV? Hi I have a similar problem.
I have been able to play a mkv file yesterday and today I can not play a second film which is also mkv. Then it begins to load and freezes there. Should I download a program and convert all my mkv files now so I can play them with my wd live television box? I do not hope this is the solution to my problem In fact, playing MKV file from local HDD on Windows 8.1 PC is never a problem for WD TV Live Hub. The problem is MKV streaming over the Internet. Basically, with DLNA media devices, there are certificates given to each product that receives DLNA approval. The problem is that.mkv is not one of the media options that are categorized because it’s not a sanctioned format (not like WMV, MPEG, etc.) Besides, MKV is a flexible container format which can store just about anything (H.264, DivX, MPEG, any sort of audio, even menus and subtitles) while WMV, MPEG is more or less complete formats so they know what to expect while with MKV’s you really can’t tell without checking the contents itself.

Although most people meet with very limited success streaming.mkv files from NAS to a DLNA-certified HDTV, it is reported that many have good luck when streaming H.264.mkv with AC3 audio. DTS audio in.mkv may results in av sync problems so it is advised to be converted to AC3 or AAC before streaming MKV. Anyway, the best way solving this problem is streaming.mkv from Windows 8.1 PC while transcoding the file on the fly with media server like Tversity. Despite that, you may receive error message when streaming.mkv to WD TV Live Hub. In that case you’re suggested to sanctioned format, e.g. The following guide tells you how to convert.mkv to H.264.mp4 video with AAC audio included for streaming to WD TV Live Hub.
