One of the primary purpose of my Windows 7 Pro 64bit is to use it as UPnP server to stream my movies to my Panasonic Viera VT50.

It's the one thing I couldn't yet figure out before upgrading: will I out of the box be able to do it?

I read that certain Multimedia components are going to be removed but it's unclear to me whether I'm affected or not.

thanks

Windows 10 operates just like Windows 7 and Windows 8. You need to switch on Media Sharing in Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork and Sharing CenterMedia streaming options. It's a bit snappier than Windows 8 too :-)

Not out of the box. You will still need third party software like plex or tversity to use your computer as a media server to stream to other devices.

See: Universal Media Server

That program you run on your PC and it takes care of everything. Everything. It is the most compatible program for creating a UPnP Media Server and supports a whole lot of client devices and will even transcode your source media to a better format for a client if needed.

It is pretty well automatic, and after many frustrating hours trying to solve your exact problem this is what I settled on.

Used to be nice app

Glitches in playback with TWONKY server. Skips and jumbles start of songs. Still never able play an album seamlessly without buffering gaps between songs. I rip FLAC using XLD. No issues with rips in PLEX or LMS. This used to be my go to app. I don't like PLEX, but I may have to switch. Bummer.

What happened?

I've had this app for ages to use with my tversity server. Worked perfect. For about two years. With this update, for some reason when I select songs. Each one starts at 11 seconds in. So that's no good. Then if I hit the lock button after selecting a song. It skips like crazy. Can you please tell me why you took a perfectly good working app (that I paid for) and turned it into a pile of crap? I'd give less than one star if I could. But don't buy this app. It used to be good. It's not anymore.

Plays PS3 Media Server files

This is the only app I've found that plays PS3 Media Server videos from my iMac, and it works well.
The only thing I wish it had is the ability to show thumbnail photos alongside the video titles (like it does from a PS3).
