I have been using MiniDLNA (aka ReadyDLNA) for some time
and works great on all devices, but for some strange reason
would not display WebM files.
MKV file work, but no WebM is container based on MKV ...
My WebM files are downloaded from YT to test 4K HDR playback on my 4K phone

Is there simple way on how to stream/serve WebM and out of curiosity AVI files?

I see,wizard10000 wrote:You may need a DLNA server that supports transcoding. You can't send webm or avi to a DLNA client so you either have to convert before streaming or transcode on the fly.1byte wrote:Is there simple way on how to stream/serve WebM and out of curiosity AVI files?
Am I right in thinking that "transcoding on the fly" means loosing quality in case of WebM 4K HDR file?
Do you know of any simple DLNA Server that can transcode on the fly for Stretch 64bit?
Re: [SOLVED] MiniDLNA (aka ReadyDLNA) not showing WebM files
maybe you should be looking at a different media server altogether?
kodi?
kodi?

^ wouldn't it be better to eliminate the need for transcoding?
if i'm not mistaken it's an extremly resource-intensive task even on powerful machines.

How many files do you have with webm extension? If all you have is one or two then the encoding isn't that big a deal.
