DLNA not working on recent Samsung TV

lukerops · March 15, 2025, 11:41am

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Serve DLNA works on everything except on my Samsung TV (QN55S90DAGXZD).

I saw other topics on this (like this one) but nothing works for me.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

I am using docker container and tried with these 2 versions:

# docker.io/rclone/rclone:latest
rclone v1.69.1
- os/version: alpine 3.21.2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.12.12-amd64 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.24.0
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

# docker.io/rclone/rclone:beta
rclone v1.70.0-beta.8629.6a7e68aaf
- os/version: alpine 3.21.3 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.12.12-amd64 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.24.1
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

local file system

The command you were trying to run (eg `rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp`)

podman run -it --rm --name rclone --network host --volume /home/lucas/Videos/:/data:ro docker.io/rclone/rclone:beta -vv serve dlna /data --log-trace

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the `-vv` flag

welcome to the forum,

can compare the rclone debug logs to pinpoint the issue.

Sorry to be late. This is an example of the VLC access.

Apparently, each one is using different BrowseFlags. VLC uses the BrowseDirectChildren with 5000 RequestedCount and this works correctly. The Samsung TV tries to browse using the BrowseMetadata with 0 RequestedCount and this is not resulting in the correct list of files.
