DLNA is a big mess. works OK for audio, stinks for video. The better
set top boxes can play video files off SMB/CIFS and that works much
better., assuming your video files are encoded in a format that the box
supports (and most such boxes support a wide range of common video
formats including MKV, M4V/MP4, etc)
