PLEX as DLNA Control Point

Feature Suggestions
101

+1 would make it possible to use probably every Smart TV no matter how old with PLEX. (also might be a start to add multiroom audio possibilities since most later AVRs also support DLNA)

102

Big FAT +10000000 from me!

103

+1 For sure

104

There are other Media Server they already support this feature. I think it is a must have feature.
Only this way you get a simple and modern usability experience. Without this feature no PLEX server will run in my house.

105

Letā€™s bump this thread up and see if we can get some more support )

106

Yes! We need this for networked receivers!

PLEASE Elan, make it happen!

107

I agree and upvoted the OP. My Panasonic Viera apparently doesnā€™t have a PLEX app, but itā€™ll accept DLNA just fine. A way to play from PLEX to a DLNA device on my own network - initiated by my PLEX client on my phone, tablet or computer is highly desired.

108

+1 For sure

109

I couldnā€™t believe this feature does not exist in Plex. Now I need to use BubbleUPNP to stream the music from Plex to my Naim Unitilite. Of course I canā€™t rate any songs while listening when I donā€™t use Plex appā€¦
+1 for this must have feature!

110

+1 - I canā€™t believe itā€™s missingā€¦

111

+1
For me 2

112

+100000000

113

+1

Will be looking to cancel my plex pass as a result of this feature not being present.

114

+1 Need possibility to push stream to DLNA renderer

115

+1. Want to replace bubbleupnp App DLNA control point functionality on my Android Phone and tablet with the plex App.

116

+1. Itā€™s time to uninstall bubbleupnpā€¦

117

+1 The lack of this removes so much of plexā€™s potential.

Iā€™m afraid this is another case where something is not made to make people buy new stuff instead.

118

@kizmanj @all_others checkout https://emby.media
Itā€™s another, but open-source media-server software and the developers are more likely to add stuff the community wantā€¦
I think we can wait until everyone win the lottery that this feature will be integratedā€¦

119

Want to replace Emby Server, but DLNA is missing in Plex :ā€™(

120

Havenā€™t heard of Emby yet, but based on their website they seem like a serious competitor.

Iā€™m building my smart home, but donā€™t wanna spend money to buy devices to be ā€œPlex Companion compatibleā€ if i have DLNA renderers all over the house already.
