How about ReadyMedia (minidlna)? https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/ Roku has a built in DLNA app (Roku Media Player) that can pull video and audio streams from a DLNA media server. It is CLI only, but simple. I use it to expose a movie directory on an external USB drive to a Roku stick. You have to make sure your files are in the right format, and the interface is a bit dated, but it works. Roku Media Player file types: Video — H.264/AVC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV), on Roku 4 only: H.265/HEVC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV); VP9 (.MKV) Audio – AAC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV); MP3(.MP3, .MKV); WMA (.ASF, .WMA, .MKV), FLAC (.FLAC, .MKV), PCM (.WAV, .MKV, .MP4, .MOV), AC3/EAC3 (.MKV,.MP4. .MOV, .AC3), DTS (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV), ALAC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV, .M4A) Image — JPG, PNG, GIF (non-animated) _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
