This is certainly not a solution that we would recommend to the average computer user, so avoid it if you're looking for the most user-friendly and enjoyable media server experience. Instead, this software provides an excellent building foundation for developers that want to create their own custom media server. If you really want to know what the interface looks and feels like, we recommend running the OpenMedia Vault demo. Alternatively, you can make quick stop by their features page to view the main perks.

Designed to make the most of the PS3's abilities as a media streamer, PS3MediaServer isn't strictly limited to Sony's console in terms of compatibility and has some compatibility with other clients.

LXiMediaCenter is a UPnP server that always transcodes video, regardless of whether it is in a compatible format or not. This means the requirements for running it are relatively high compared to some of the other servers on this list — so it's not ideal for older machines.
It also uses high quality encoding, so a wired Ethernet or There are binaries available for Windows, OS X and a number of Linux distributions, making setup easy when coupled with the quick setup guide.

Don't forget that much of the troubles encountered by DLNA clients is down to the clients themselves — much of the time due to not supporting the filetype attempting to be streamed in which case transcoding is required.
A device's class is determined by its functional capabilities—whether it stores, controls, or plays media—rather than the type of product it is. So it's possible even common for a device to fall into more than one class. Some DLNA-certified TVs, for example, can be classified as both a Digital Media Player—meaning it can locate and play media from other devices—and a Digital Media Renderer—because media can be pushed to it by an external controlling device.
When you connect one to your router, it should automatically appear on any other DLNA-certified component's menu without needing you to perform any setup. Alternatively, a controller, such as a tablet or smartphone, could discover the content on the PC and tell the TV to play it back.
Now that TVs are as smart as your computer, there's yet another device in the home with firmware for you to update, alongside its built-in software and upgradeable online content.
