my experiences with trying to use DLNA for video have been awful. its OK for audio, as long as the library is both not too big, and well tagged.
What server software have you tried? I'm using serviio on a mac but would expect the linux version to be equivalent, with an assortment of players (ps3, sony blu-ray player, vlc on an ipad, etc.). The trick with video is to be sure it is encoded in a format the player can handle directly so the server isn't transcoding on the fly. And avoid wifi if possible.
