Great piece of software

First of all... I want to say: Congratulations !! You have made a piece of software that do what it's intended for. Nothing more ... nothing less.

I'm recently purchased a Samsung UE40D6100 TV with the wireless adapter. A friend of mine tells me about the DLNA feature of my TV, so I started to search a server for it.

First time, I've just installed the AllShare from Samsung. At first sight, all goes well... but in a couple of hours, something goes wrong with it and the "internal Library Data" (a SQLite based file) appears to be corrupted, and the application gets about 85% of memory and 50 % of both CPUs.... (bad boy, bad boy... ;) )

Then... searching in Google, I found the SamyGO website (yeah, you know...) and at the DLNA Software appears Serviio. "Well..." - I think "I'm going to give a try..." And it was surprisingly easy: 1 Download, 2 Install, 3 Add a local path with medium (HD films in harddisk) and more important 4: Go to my sofá, take the remote, switch on the TV, change source "Serviio" Video -> And play a film...
Days later, the family photos and some music was added to Serviio... fine again...

In one word: EASY.
For your information: My PC is a Intel Core2Duo / 4 Gb RAM / 600Gb Internal HD + 1Tb external HD /Ethernet Gigabit and a comercial router with protocol 802.11 Draft-N (yes, the early ones...) through a balanced switch.

I'm going to add some online sources but... for me it's enough ...

Once again... thanks for your work and congratulations.
