Is this just behavior that you see with VLC, or other clients as well? If it is happening to all of your clients, I would think there is something going on server side. Have you tried a DLNA client on your phone yet or just the Mac? If you have issues regardless of device and client, focus on possible network or server setup issues.
- Certain DLNA clients such as Samsung TVs and game consoles didn’t follow the DLNA protocol and as a result, had issues playing back media from certain servers. Thankfully, DLNA compatibility has improved significantly over time and you’ll rarely have any issues streaming from the below servers.
- I have an OLED65W9 and use the DLNA client to play movies. (My DLNA server is PLEX running on a mac mini). The WebOS DLNA client works well but it is not especially aesthetically pleasing. For example, the file icons seem to be square crops of the middle of the movie poster provided by the DLNA server.
Here is some random information about DLNA open source projects:
