DLNA is okay if the receiver supported the codecs well enough to avoid playback stalling. Though it lacks search and dashboard features. I prefer having an app that can save progress and remember what I've already watched. (As a younger person I could recognize a show or movie from a glimpse while surfing. Nowadays I find myself rewatching for several minutes before recognizing the program.)
