All your media files will be stored in one place, making them easy to find and access.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ease of use. You don&#8217;t need to install any special software on your devices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wide compatibility. DLNA is supported by most modern devices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stream to any device. Watch movies, TV shows, and listen to music on any device on your network.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Save space. Free up space on your devices by moving your files to a media server.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a large collection of media files and you want to access them easily from different devices, a DLNA media server is a great solution.

The easiest and most affordable option, but the computer must be on all the time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy NAS (Network Attached Storage). A specialized storage device that provides high performance and reliability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a router. Some routers support the media server function, but the functionality may be limited.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy a TV set-top box. Some set-top boxes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/imb-plus.tv\/tv-dune-hd\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duna HD TV-102<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) can work as media servers, but the choice of applications may be limited.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your needs and budget, you can choose the most suitable option.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Options for connecting media devices to the media server<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing how to connect your media devices to the media server depends on your needs, budget, and specifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Media server from a PC<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A personal computer can act as a powerful home media server. Its advantages are high performance, support for virtually any multimedia formats and the ability to store huge amounts of data on hard disks. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minuses: this solution consumes a lot of power and creates noise during operation. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plusses: suitable for tasks that require maximum performance, such as video transcoding on the fly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Media server from a router<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some modern routers allow you to embed a media server in them. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disadvantages: cost-effective, compact, and always-on. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disadvantages: limited CPU performance and memory capacity. Suitable for simple media streaming within a home network.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Media server from a set-top box<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
