Other than that the only performance issues I have are with the large files (1080p HD) that have a lot of high-pitched background noises. In 5+ years of using Serviio, it crashed only once, after an update clashed with JAVA version on my PC. I particularly like that I can organize the files in any way I can think of, and choose to hide/show categories so that the path to the files that I want takes the minimal amount of steps. It plays pretty much any format that I throw at it, refreshes the library automatically or you can force it to refresh right away after adding a file. I found Serviio and haven't looked back because it just works.

But it was very picky when it came to the different formats and updating media library, and I went looking for something better. Monika's Experience I tried using Windows Media Player to stream my media when I got my first smart TV some years ago, and it almost worked.
