DLNA Video Playback

[jdk514]

I recently setup subsonic on my personal server and think it is amazing. The one thing that I really like is that it also comes with dlna capabilities. This is great cause I currently use minidlna to stream video to my tv. The issue is that I have added video files to subsonic, and they appear, yet when I try to access them through a dlna enabled device they don't show up. I get a video folder with x number of items, yet clicking on the folder doesn't go anywhere. I was wondering if there is an issue with streaming video with dlna in subsonic. Thanks for the help.

Have you verified the file extensions are represented in the extensions masks in Settings->General?

Yeah, the file extensions all check out, dlna is enabled (music comes through fine), and I've run through every other setting that seems like it could affect dlna, but everything seems fine. The only issue I can think of is transcoding, but I don't need to transcode the formats, so I don't think that should be a problem. Thanks for the help.

Odd. All I can recommend (is there a log entry that shows any errors?) is to try an intermediate control point like BubbleUPnP and see if Bubble will pass the file info over to the tv. UPnP/DLNA is supposed to be a standard to get certification, but many devices are not compliant and/or uncertified, since it ads expense to do so.

I checked the logs and nothing was popping up, and the receiver is a ps3 (which checks out too). I think it has something to do with how subsonic is handling my video files. I'm going to try one video file at a time and see if I can locate a root cause. Thanks for the help, your response time is impressive.
