About:
Serviio is a DLNA-compliant media server that streams video, audio, and image files to DLNA-supported devices like smart TVs, game consoles, and mobile apps. It supports real-time transcoding to ensure compatibility with various file formats and network conditions. The Pro version adds features like online content streaming and mobile library access.
Key Features:
  • Real-time transcoding for broad device compatibility
  • DLNA and UPnP media streaming
  • Supports 4K, HD, and HDR video
  • Metadata fetching for movies and TV shows
  • Online content streaming (web videos, live streams)
Use Cases:
  • Centralizing a media library for streaming to smart TVs and consoles
  • Transcoding incompatible video files for playback on mobile devices
Alternatives:
  • Plex – Plex offers a more polished UI and remote access but requires a separate server application and has stricter licensing.
  • Jellyfin – Jellyfin is fully open-source and self-hosted, whereas Serviio is a commercial product with a focus on ease of setup.
