I installed a Serviio media server at my home computer last night. As far, it has been working very well. I am able to watch contents from Samsung TV and mobile devices. I think I may purchase a PRO version a week or two later if everything still works great.
Prior using Serviio media server, I had installed VLC media server on my computer. Well, I don’t like the idea to have every content re-encoded to work on VLC. It takes time and disk space.
The only downside of Serviio media server is it only works on Java version 6. The latest Java is version 7 which will break the Serviio. Therefore, don’t forget to disable Java’s auto update from windows Control Panel.
What I need now is to upgrade my home wireless network from G to N. This should help streaming contents smoothly.
