Hello,
i've just moved my setup from a minidlna installed on a openwrt router to jellyfin under a VM in proxmox.
The use case is streaming my movies over dlna to (primarily) my Samsung TV (quite recent S95B)
With minidlna i had little-to-no problems (just expectable performance problems, given the hosting on a router)
With jellyfin i'm finding always new problems. The Samsung profile does not support for example HEVC (dunno why). Had to modify it manually. Lately, i'm fighting with SUBTITLES!! With minidlna never had a problem, but now every time the video has a "not plain" subtitle (for example ASS) there's no way to stream it, it decides they are not supported and tries to transcode it.
I'm confused because it is crystal clear that jellyfin is A LOT a better piece of software than minidlna, so i'm sure i'm just missing something, but it can't be that hard to get a dlna stream to work..
any hint? it seems it isn't even possible to set it to JUST STREAM THE DATA and let the client decide if it can decode it..
Thanks
