Many boxes you plug into your TV, including the [Roku][], PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and even some [smart TVs][] themselves offer DLNA (“Digital Living Network Alliance”) streaming support. They can stream video files and music over the network from your PC—as long as you set up a DLNA server on the PC first.

您插入电视的许多盒子，包括[Roku][] ，PlayStation 4，Xbox One，甚至某些[智能电视][smart TVs]本身都提供DLNA(“数字生活网络联盟”)流支持。 只要您先在PC上设置DLNA服务器，他们就可以通过PC通过网络流式传输视频文件和音乐。

This feature is also known as [Play To][] or UPnP AV. Using it is easier than you might think, as the server software you’ll need is built into Windows. There are also third-party DLNA servers with more features, and you can run them on any operating system. Here’s how to set up DLNA on your machine.

此功能也称为“ [播放至”][Play To]或“ UPnP AV”。 使用它比您想像的要容易，因为所需的服务器软件已内置在Windows中。 也有具有更多功能的第三方DLNA服务器，您可以在任何操作系统上运行它们。 这是在计算机上设置DLNA的方法。

## 选项一：启用Windows内置的DLNA Media Server **(**Option One: Enable the DLNA Media Server Built Into Windows**)** ##

There are many different pieces of software that can function as DLNA servers, but you don’t need to install anything special to get started. Windows has an integrated DLNA server you can enable. To activate it, open the Control Panel and search for “media” using the search box at the top right corner of the window. Click the “Media streaming options” link under Network and Sharing Center.

可以用作DLNA服务器的软件有很多不同的部分，但是您无需安装任何特殊的软件即可上手。 Windows具有可以启用的集成DLNA服务器。 要激活它，请打开“控制面板”，然后使用窗口右上角的搜索框搜索“媒体”。 点击网络和共享中心下的“媒体流选项”链接。

![e0b19e40becd4e43175377804aabc57c.png][]

Click the “Turn on media streaming” button to enable the media-streaming server.

单击“打开媒体流”按钮以启用媒体流服务器。

![2847ceff73d821ea501fb91f58cda881.png][]

Although this Control Panel doesn’t mention the term “DLNA” at all, the media streaming feature in Windows is a DLNA-compliant media server.

尽管此控制面板根本没有提到“ DLNA”一词，但Windows中的媒体流功能是兼容DLNA的媒体服务器。

You can now customize the streaming settings. The default settings allow all devices on your local network to access the media files in your media libraries, and that’s fine if you’re on a local network with only devices you trust. You probably don’t need to adjust these.

您现在可以自定义流式传输设置。 默认设置允许您本地网络上的所有设备访问媒体库中的媒体文件，如果您所在的本地网络中只有您信任的设备，那就很好了。 您可能不需要调整这些。

This window doesn’t actually tell you how to add video, music, and picture files that can be streamed over the network. However, the media streaming feature depends on your Windows libraries.

该窗口实际上没有告诉您如何添加可以通过网络流式传输的视频，音乐和图片文件。 但是，媒体流功能取决于您的Windows库。

If you want to stream video, music, or picture files, add them to the Videos, Music, or Pictures libraries. You don’t have to move the files to the current library folders—you can add new folders to the libraries. On Windows 8.1 or 10, you’ll need to [unhide the libraries][] to access them.

如果要流式传输视频，音乐或图片文件，请将它们添加到视频，音乐或图片库。 您不必将文件移动到当前库文件夹中，您可以将新文件夹添加到库中。 在Windows 8.1或10上，您需要[取消隐藏库][unhide the libraries]才能访问它们。

Once you have, either copy the media files you want to stream to your libraries or add folders containing media files to your libraries.

拥有后，可以将要流式传输的媒体文件复制到库中，也可以将包含媒体文件的文件夹添加到库中。

For example, if you have a bunch of videos at D:\\TV Shows\\, you could right-click the Videos library, select “Properties”, click “Add”, and add the D:\\TV Shows\\ folder to your Videos library. The files would still be stored at D:\\TV Shows\\, but they’d be visible in your Videos library and available for streaming from other devices.

例如，如果您在D：\\ TV Shows \\中有一堆视频，则可以右键单击“视频”库，选择“属性”，单击“添加”，然后将D：\\ TV Shows \\文件夹添加到您的视频中图书馆。 这些文件仍将存储在D：\\ TV Shows \\中，但是它们将在您的视频库中可见并且可以从其他设备进行流式传输。

You can now access the DLNA media player on your other device—for example, the [Roku Media Player][], [PS4 Media Player][], or [Xbox One Media Player][] apps all include this feature

现在，您可以在其他设备上访问DLNA媒体播放器-例如， [Roku Media Player][] ， [PS4 Media Player][]或[Xbox One Media Player][]应用程序都包含此功能。

For example, on a [Roku][Roku 1], you must first install the Roku Media Player channel and open it. [DLNA servers on your local network will appear in the list][], so you can select your computer and stream media files from it.

例如，在[Roku上][Roku 1] ，您必须首先安装Roku Media Player频道并打开它。 [本地网络上的DLNA服务器将出现在列表中][DLNA servers on your local network will appear in the list] ，因此您可以选择计算机并从中流媒体文件。

In addition to browsing your shared media library from the device, you can [use the Play To feature][] to find media on your computer and start playing it directly on the networked device. Or use the DLNA media-streaming features to share media between your PCs.

除了从设备浏览共享媒体库之外，您还可以[使用“播放到”功能][use the Play To feature]在计算机上查找媒体，然后直接在联网设备上开始播放。 或使用DLNA媒体流功能在PC之间共享媒体。

## 选项二：安装Plex或Universal Media Server **(**Option Two: Install Plex or Universal Media Server**)** ##

The Windows DLNA server is the easiest and fastest one to set up, but it’s not necessarily the best option. Due to the way DLNA works, you can only stream certain types of media codecs, for example. If you have other types of media, it just won’t work.

Windows DLNA服务器是设置最简单，最快的服务器，但不一定是最佳选择。 由于DLNA的工作方式，例如，您只能流式传输某些类型的媒体编解码器。 如果您还有其他类型的媒体，它将无法正常工作。

Other DLNA servers improve this by offering real-time transcoding. If you try to play an unsupported file, they’ll transcode it on-the-fly, streaming the video in a supported format to your DLNA device.

其他DLNA服务器通过提供实时代码转换来改善这一点。 如果您尝试播放不受支持的文件，他们会即时对其进行转码，以受支持的格式将视频流式传输到DLNA设备。

Many different media servers support DLNA, including the immensely popular [Plex][] media server—so you can [set up the Plex media server on your computer][] and use DLNA on another device to access your media, if you want. Plex’s own media player offers more features, but your Plex library can also be accessed from any media player that supports DLNA. This allows you to access your Plex library on devices that don’t have a Plex client or web browser, but do offer DLNA support.

许多不同的媒体服务器都支持DLNA，包括非常流行的[Plex][]媒体服务器-因此，您可以[根据需要在计算机上设置Plex媒体服务器，][set up the Plex media server on your computer]并在另一台设备上使用DLNA来访问您的媒体。 Plex自己的媒体播放器提供了更多功能，但您的Plex库也可以从任何支持DLNA的媒体播放器中访问。 这使您可以在没有Plex客户端或Web浏览器但提供DLNA支持的设备上访问Plex库。

You might also be interested in the completely free [Universal Media Server][], which is based on the now-discontinued [PS3 Media Server][]. It boasts a [large number of features][], and you can install and configure it on Windows as well as macOS and Linux. Macs and Linux PCs don’t have this feature built-in, so third-party media programs like these are the only option.

您可能还对完全免费的[Universal Media Server][]感兴趣，该[服务器][Universal Media Server]基于现已停产的[PS3 Media Server][] 。 它具有[许多功能][large number of features] ，您可以在Windows以及macOS和Linux上安装和配置它。 Mac和Linux PC没有内置此功能，因此像这样的第三方媒体程序是唯一的选择。

--------------------

DLNA seems to be on its way out, which is one reason why it’s so hidden on Windows 10. DLNA is fundamentally focused on playing back media files you have downloaded on your PC (video files, music files, and image files) on other devices. Modern solutions are usually focused on streaming media from the cloud. And, even if you want to manage your own local media library, a solution like Plex is more full-featured and better.

DLNA似乎即将淘汰，这就是为什么它在Windows 10上如此隐藏的原因之一。DLNA基本上专注于在其他设备上播放您在PC上下载的媒体文件(视频文件，音乐文件和图像文件)。 。 现代解决方案通常侧重于来自云的流媒体。 而且，即使您想管理自己的本地媒体库，像Plex这样的解决方案也具有更完善的功能和更好的功能。

This standard’s strength is still its wide ecosystem of supported devices. Even though it’s not an ideal solution, it provides the glue to link a wide variety of devices together without any third-party apps. Devices that don’t have web browsers or apps you can use to access Plex may support DLNA.

该标准的优势仍然是其广泛的受支持设备生态系统。 即使这不是理想的解决方案，它也提供了将各种设备链接在一起的胶水，而无需任何第三方应用程序。 没有可用于访问Plex的Web浏览器或应用程序的设备可能支持DLNA。
