Just wanted to know if anyone is using the VLC application for playing DLNA hosted content.
I’m using VLC Player with content hosted on a QNAP NAS. I can play content comprising mostly .mp4 and .mkv files with no problem but have trouble navigating some as the video length shows as 0:00 when playing so cannot skip forward or back.
Another thing is that none of the video files, no matter what format, show a length in the folder index, they are all 0:00.
I had no such issues with the media player on my old 5000T which showed all this information correctly so I don’t believe its an issue with the QNAP.
I’ve done some Googling to no avail so any suggestions or ideas much appreciated.
Thanks Graham,
I did have a look at Plex but it does not support acting as a client to an existing DLNA server, from what I can see it can only act as a server in its own right.
I think Kodi is probably overkill but will investigate.

I have a plex server on my laptop and some files on a USB Hard drive. I can play them on the Aura so it does act as a client though a 4K firestick does a better job.
