With the free download of the Universal Media Server, videos, music and pictures can be played in a network on DLNA-compatible devices.
The Universal Media Server 10.4 simplifies the playback of multimedia files stored locally on a PC on televisions and game consoles.
Universal Media Server download
The Universal Media Server supports all Windows versions from Windows XP (32-bit / 64-bit); Java Runtime Environment 7 or higher is required for use. Depending on the content being played, the hardware requirements can vary; according to the developer, a CPU with 2 GHz should be sufficient in most cases.
Additional programs such as AviSynth can be set up directly during the installation.
DLNA server for transcoding and streaming
For example, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360, many televisions and Blu-ray players from manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony or LG as well as smartphones are supported. However, a web interface ensures that network-compatible end devices that do not support DLNA are also supported.
The Universal Media Server transcodes the multimedia files on the PC with little or no configuration effort and forwards them during the process via LAN or WLAN. FFmpeg, MEncoder, tsMuxeR and MediaInfo are used for this.
UpNp server with many features
Thanks to Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), end devices are usually recognized automatically. Files on the PC can be accessed immediately without the need for lengthy scanning. The program offers an automatic adjustment of the bit rates based on the connection speed in the network. Also on board are support for subtitles, DTS, H.264 transcoding, True Motion (interframe calculation), overscan compensation as well as AviSynth and iTunes.
In addition, DVDs can be played and archive formats such as ZIP, RAR or GZ can be searched. Plug-ins can also be downloaded and installed directly from the program in order to expand the range of functions, which makes the Universal Media Server a powerful freeware.
Universal Media Server alternative
Thanks to the Universal Media Server, almost all media can be played on most devices in the network. There is a much more convenient alternative, for example, with the Plex Media Server, which can also be used free of charge in the basic version.
