Universal Media Server

Install, run, go to Shared Content, point at a directory on your windows machine. Turn on tv and allow to scan for DLNA servers. Select your PC running Universal Media Server. Done.

I have a pretty dumb Hisense SmartTV.

I tried Serviio (worked intermittently and then one day the service wouldn't stay running), and also Jellyfin (worked but the TV remote wouldn't function for playback controls. Actually seemed to kill the remote until I power cycled the tv at the power socket).

UMS is the only one that worked simply, out of the box. Well done to the UMS team.

the program is good, but my HUAWEI HG8145V5 router is having problems sharing dlna I don't know why

Java server inside. Used 1 Gb ram just after start. And even after uninstall it keeps java command files in my Program Files!

Although this i definitively a great media server, one should consider that this application requires administrative privileges to install and inherently needs to open several ports. Therefore, please make sure you trust the developers and their work. Especially pay attention to the following circumstances:

• The authors do not provide any legal information on their side
• There is no portable version provided, although possible with the underlying technology
• The tool is build on Java and therefore could run in a JavaVM , in principle without the need of admin privileges (except win services, but that can be opted out). So there is little reason for admin rights.
• Although this tool is open source, most users will download the pre-build executable. It doesn't follow an auditable git build process. So the open source-argument is difficult.
• The Win package is signed with an unknown publisher. But most likely because of the costs.

Again, as I said, this is a great tool. But everyone using this should pay attention who to trust.

Desperately lacking in native OS. Covers all the major players and provides acceptable functionality. Sadly, Java is needed to run it
