I also run another DLNA server called AssetUPnP, but again I run that more or less from the command line, not via Docker. I just happen to have been running mine as a process started up from the "go" file on my Unraid flash drive, and I've been doing it that way for the past 10 years, long before Docker was available as a means of running third party applications under Unraid. I use Twonky for FLAC streaming, but not the exact version found from Community Applications. There really is no substitute for trying different server applications with your own player and your own music library. Thus, some DLNA software will only let you see a list of 500 artists as a single long list - whereas others (Twonky Server, for example) allow custom search trees, and indexed searches (such as A, B, C, D or ABC, DEF, GHI as a first menu level) which can make life a lot easier. One important point to note is that the media browsing and selection options are heavily determined by the DLNA server application and not by the player or the control point / media broswer (if that is separate). It may claim audio quality benefits - but a good DLNA client and server can stream bit-accurate audio gaplessly, so I am sceptical regarding any additional audio benefit from Roon. I tried it, but decided that for me it was not worth the cost. and offers a potentially better media browsing experience. Roon is for those who want in depth information on albums, artists, etc. minidlna might be a good place to start, at least to prove that it can work. We believe that all TwonkyServer-related issues that may have contributed to high CPU usage have been fixed. Some users here have reported problems with high CPU utilization and their HP MediaSmart servers. So that is a DLNA server and the options that I suggested are broadly similar and therefore should work. TwonkyMedia suggest a patch was delivered to HP in December so we could expect that patch in early March.
