Before you buy
A few useful answers.
What does Media Server Pro do?
It turns your Mac into a local media server so compatible Smart TVs, consoles, VLC, Kodi, 8Player Pro, phones, and tablets can browse and stream videos, music, and photos from folders you choose.
What is a DLNA server?
A DLNA server is a local media server that lets compatible TVs, consoles, and media-player apps find and browse videos, music, and photos on your home network. Media Server Pro turns your Mac into that browsable source, using the folders you choose.
Do I need an account?
No. Media Server Pro is local-network software. There are no accounts, subscriptions, or cloud library services to manage.
Which devices work with it?
Any compatible network media player can work, including many Smart TVs, Xbox and PlayStation media players, VLC, Kodi, 8Player Pro, and mobile media-player apps.
Does Media Server Pro transcode video?
No. Media Server Pro streams your files without converting them. Your TV or receiving app needs to support the file’s video, audio, and subtitle formats. This avoids the processing needed for live conversion. If a file will not play, try a compatible player such as VLC, convert the file beforehand, or use a server with transcoding.
Why is my TV not finding the server?
Make sure both devices are on the same network, avoid guest Wi-Fi, allow incoming connections in macOS Firewall, and check whether a VPN is blocking local network discovery.
What version of macOS does it require?
Media Server Pro requires macOS 15.7 or later.
Does the app collect usage data?
No. We do not collect any usage data from Media Server Pro.
