According to Wikipedia: DLNA uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for media management, discovery and control. UPnP defines the type of device that DLNA supports ("server", "renderer", "controller") and the mechanisms for accessing media over a network. The DLNA guidelines then apply a layer of restrictions over the types of media file format, encodings and resolutions that a device must support. Either way, I've been happy with MediaTomb. My one complaint is that my server isn't beefy enough to do realtime re-encoding. For an Android client, Skifta seems pretty good.
