![]() For other DNLA-compatible devices, Plex reads just about any digital media file and then does transcoding on the fly, adjusting performance and audio/video quality for available network bandwidth. The home version of Plex is free, and you can serve to your smartphones and tablets by purchasing the Plex mobile app ($4.99) for each device. This one started out as a media server for PS3 game consoles, but has since branched out to be a general-purpose server that works with any DLNA-compatible device. It transcodes on the fly, supports browsing Flickr and Picasa photos online, and is available for all major operating systems. This is a newer media server than some of the others it streams local music, video, and images (including RAW files) to all manner of DLNA-compatible devices, and transcodes audio and SD/HD video on the fly. The Standard version is all you need and it's free there's also a Pro version for $25 that adds a few bells and whistles. Serviio runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines. Subsonic is another free streaming media server. It's a little more focused on streaming music than the other servers it can easily handle 100,000+ track music libraries and transcode lossless files and resample to lower bitrates on the fly. Of course, it also streams movies and other media. The basic music-only version is free, but you'll need the $1/month Premium version if you want to stream video or stream audio to your portable devices. ![]()
