VLC Android App as Player

I've been wanting to use VLC's app as a replacement media player on my Sony Android TV.
It works fine for local content, but when I pull up the 'Local Network' folder I see Serviio and all the directories I'm sharing, but not a single media file.

I had assumed the issue was VLC since Serviio is such a solid piece of software, but toying with Plex last night as a replacement DLNA server, all files showed up without any special effort.

What is Serviio doing different? Isn't DLNA a standardized protocol?

Bumpin' my old topic, but the VLC android app version 2.0.2 dated June 30 fixes this.
VLC now runs beautifully with Serviio. Streamed a few things including a UHD-HDR demo from my PC to my 2015 Sony android TV.
Everything worked perfectly that I've tested so far.
