I’m a having a problem with Rygel and my smart TV dropping the DLNA connection after about 30 minutes. The video continues to play but pause, rewind, FF stop working. Never had this happen with other distros. Any suggestions on how to fix?
I can’t really help you with Rygel, not used that for a long time and didn’t get great results then. I can only suggest either heading to the project’s Bugzilla or contacting a developer on IRC as recommended on the Rygel wiki.
I can recommend Kodi though, yes Kodi is not just a great ten-foot-display media player. Together with it’s excellent media library abilities Kodi is the best DLNA server I’ve used.
