There's also Plex which I think is similar to Bubble UPnP in that you
install some server-side software and then use a Plex client on a PC
or mobile phone to access the content. I have used it and it's OK and
from the reports I've seen it seems to be the most capable. The only
issue I have with it is that when playing on an Android there is no
simple way to fast fwd/rev by a set number of seconds - you have to
drag a tiny scrollbar with your finger and hope for the best that you
release it at the right spot.
