I have PLEX and EMBY working on a RASPI using a DietPi distribution.
DLNA on LG50LF6100-UA TV works with EMBY but not with PLEX - see log below. I dont know how to start debugging this.

BTW I turn off EMBY when I try to run PLEX.
Server log:

Hi @dungar, The log is telling you that port 1900 is already in use. When you run Emby and Plex on the same machine, only one can use the port at a time, so the first application to come up is the one that grabs it, preventing other applications from using it. You will need to run Plex and Emby on different machines if you want to use DLNA from both.

Thanks for the reply. I checked to see if the Emby service was running and it wasnt . I’ll try removing Emby to see if that works.

BTW, I would restart the machine after removal to make sure Plex is able to grab the port. On Linux, you can determine what application has the port by running:

# netstat -peanut | grep :1900
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1900            0.0.0.0:*                           107        49222      1030/Plex DLNA Serv
