OTHER GT Media V9 Prime DLNA Function

[cyberham]

I see this receiver has a DLNA function listed under the Apps. I've switched it ON. How can I use it? Would this allow me to stream video from the receiver over my local network to my PC?

I want to be able to view 4.2.2 on my PC as I do with my Edision. Or I want to be able to stream to my smartphone app so I can use the smartphone to monitor received tps when outside at the dish orienting.

In theory, you should be able to point VLC at your receiver via UPnP and service discovery and watch the video on your PC. There should be a good number of guides online for enabling DLNA features and streaming on your computer.

This may, in fact, be bi-modal - either straightforward or a complete PITA.

Everyone else's mileage may vary.

I have a V7. Would it be worth it to upgrade to the V9 ?

I have a V7S5X and decided to buy a V9 Prime also. There probably aren't a lot of practical reasons for me to have bought it. For the low cost of the new receiver, I just wanted to try something new. The V9 Prime's capability to lock low SR transponders seems better than my V7S5X.

cyberham did you ever have any luck getting DLNA to work with the V9?

I got nowhere. I opened my home network via Windows 10 for media streaming to all devices. But no progress. At one point, I could see the GT Media from my Windows but I couldn't do anything with it. I like the Edision web interface for remote operation for this reason.

I see it in my list of devices also, but VLC doesn't detect it.
