However, I won't be able to use the server since it does not support DLNA. I have Sony tv's that see Minimserver, but can't use it because of DLNA. It was worth a shot since I read many good things about Minimserver. I may try it for a dedicated NAS/ DAC system for my dedicated stereo over the house network - but that would just be for one room.

MinimServer isn't DLNA certified but it does support interoperability with a wide range of DLNA control points and renderers. There are many users of MinimServer who are able to use it with Sony TVs. Can you describe the problems you are experiencing when you try this?

I will start the MinimServer. I would then start my Sony Bravia TV (circa 2010) and it would see the server, but report, "The server is not supported. "The server does not support DLNA". That's all it says. It could be my Sony Bravia TV's are just too old now. (going on 5 years). I can use Windows Media Player (horrible) as well as Twonky. They both work with the TV's.
