Lg TV - slow media speeds. So slow it doesn't play

Here is how you can solve all your problems:

  1. Install Twonky 8 on your MBL
  2. place a cooling fan under your MBL to keep the CPU from overloading.
  3. purchase a Kodi Android box for your TV.
    Stream from Twonky to Kodi. Kodi will play anything and never sluggish.

What dlna server is running in your MBL. Using the latest firmware you can switch the default media server which is Twonky media server 5.1.9 by the WD dlna server which, according to what I read on the subject is a copy of minidlna media server.
For my experience I had a MBL 2TB running the default Twonky 5.1.9 media server and a LG Smart TV running together in perfect harmony for many years, both installed on a wired 1Gh Ethernet Lan. In the router config, the Upnp option is on. I tried for 2days to change to the new Wd dlna server (minidlna) but then I had problems with the LG Smart TV dlna acces, the listening bugging down frequently and also the Dlna input disappearing occasionnally.
