  • The project in question is https://github.com/anacrolix/dms

  • Go2TV

    Cast media files to UPnP/DLNA Media Renderers and Smart TVs.

  • go2tv : go based, portable, no setup (point to file and subtitle and we're good to go), GUI, cross-platform, bubbleupnp support for external subs.

  • nano-dlna

    A minimal UPnP/DLNA media streamer

  • nano-dlna : same feature set as go2tv except python based, CLI, auto subtitle detection. Dev plans to implement playlist at one point (No update on that).

  • simpleDLNA

    A simple, zero-config DLNA media server, that you can just fire up and be done with it.

  • simpleDLNA : portable, easy-setup, GUI, Windows only. muti-directory support.

  • UniversalMediaServer

    A DLNA, UPnP and HTTP(S) Media Server.

  • There's also UniversalMediaServer that's based on Java but is a bit on the heavy side (>100MB on idle). But has great external subtitle support, multi-directory, meta-data among other things. Not what I would consider simple but worth mentioning as it ran without any issues.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
