Plz do not kill DLNA , think about adding SMB!

doublevr often coming with unpopular opinions yet often proves to be the right ones
lol, I know the feeling ... on my worst days... 
justsomedude101 I can't. We can not endorse or be held responsible for 3rd party software.
LordCrash it's just historical data. I have powned like 10 big haters on reddit over time. Also things i bring just work great for everyone, while being highly unpopular at the start.
I feel sorry for all the good politicians deterrent by mass over time. But that's about being human, used to it.
No need to thank me
doublevr but how does removing DLNA work out as great for everyone? A lot of members will be affected by this. I understand that SLR is foremost a streaming service but some people prefer streaming, some prefer local playback with DLNA, some don't even have a choice because they can't stream properly anyway.
DLNA in the app is what enables easy playback of the downloaded files but you said you are going to remove it and still continue to offer downloaded files despite then having no easy way to play them in the app. Really hard to make sense of that.
Yeah please dont remove DLNA. SLR App was the best Allround VR-Pornapp with all the Options. Bring the old DLNA Function back please. My Western Digital My Cloud EX 2 dont work with the new App. So i cant watch CzechVR in the SLR App. My normal Harddrive dont have enough Space.
midorijin DLNA is in no way required, read the comments, you will understand.
I read the comments and I don't understand!
If you mean XBVR then I just spent hours setting it up because that looks just like what I was looking for for quite a while (very promising indeed) but I still can't get it to work! I neither can see the DLNA server (it's activated) nor can I connect to any of the IPs they list in the options. 
Since I found this discussion here just today, I wonder if DeoVR will keep the DLNA option hidden. That's all I would need, because so far I cannot get rid of DLNA.
If DeoVR will completely remove DLNA, then I need to switch to another player...which eventually might lead to a cancellation of my subscription.
tanders No need to activate DLNA in XBVR, it doesn't work with DEOVR (but with other players, yes, no need to ask me why, I don't have the answer XD).
On the other hand, to reach the application interface of XBVR in DEOVR, it is necessary to use the address http://192.168.x.x:9999 (no s in the http and to replace the x.x by the number of the ip of the machine on which XBVR is installed).
Came in to see why my DLNA wasn't working. I guess I found out why.
As someone who doesn't really download from from SLR, but does from other sites, I don't really want to be using multiple apps. I'll try XBVR, and if that works through SLR, that's fine, but if not, isn't there concern that you would just be pushing people into downloading? The biggest reason that I sub is for convenience, having to juggle between multiple apps in VR not convenient, I would definitely be downloading all my content for use on 1 app, and if that was the case, why sub for more than a month here and there to get content?
Ballow As a reader, you use only one application, SLR app or DEOVR.
XBVR is not a player, it's just a management interface like for example plex which allows you to manage a "local streaming" independently of your internet connection.
So you can very well use SLR app/DEOVR for slr streaming, but also for XBVR for the other studios you follow by downloading.
I'm not pushing anyone to download, I'm just advising people who download and are used to using DLNA (which won't work in the near future) to turn to this solution.

And as long as the management interface connects to the player, then I don't personally have issue with it. I'll tinker with it later today and see how it works. But if I need a new player, then its a dealbraker.
But even if it does work, isn't this a step backwards? I understand that developing and supporting features can tax resources, but isn't this already built? And now a 3rd party application is needed to fully utilize the functionality that an app previously had? It's maybe not prohibitive for some, but I can see why this would irk a lot of people.
Ballow Then, you'll have to see that with the devs or the SLR team.
However, I don't really agree when you say "And now a 3rd party application is needed to fully utilize the functionality that an app previously had?"
Whether it's DLNA or XBVR, no matter what, you're always using a third party application to access your files, the only thing is that going from your DLNA server to XBVR, it's going to take some work, that's all, but once everything is set up, it's just maintenance afterwards.
midorijin
Fair enough, but SLR was calling on that service previously with seamless integration.
Now, the user is required to install the application from a git repository. That assumes the user also has the ability to find what they are looking for. As far as a user experience goes, that's not great.
Samsonite121 As someone who is really bad at the tech side, XBVR doesn't look easy at all. Their webpage has no obvious explanation of how to install or how to run the program or anything. It looks very much intended for those who are super-fluent in this stuff.
dellicious It's true that there are "a few" small details missing in their installation method to help the less experienced, but their discord works very well and you'll find all the help you need there.
Once the step is not insurmountable either, you should not exaggerate, the use is very user friendly, especially since some versions for some things that required direct manipulation of the database.
midorijin
Well, I tried Pigasus and Play'a as other players for the DLNA option - didn't see XBVR.
I also tried the http://192.168.x.x:9999 in DeoVR - didn't see XBVR.
...
But I found the issue now. My firewall was enabled! Now it works.
Ok, XBVR still needs some improvement (e.g. filter options) but yes, this looks very promising! Great! 
I just started reading this thread today and you can add me to the list of people who would be very upset if any further functionality is lost with either SLR or DEOVR. But if any changes are really necessary, please, PLEASE, at least provide a full set of very complete and concise instructions as to the setup of any recommended alternative package that can be used to maintain the current capabilities of streaming or reading local files and provide those instructions with sufficient lead-time to enable users to get it all ready BEFORE you make any drastic changes. Like others, I find reasons for doing both streaming and local playbacks and would certainly hate to be left scrambling and struggling with trying to learn new technologies if the rug suddenly gets pulled out from any of those important functionalities.
I'm connecting to XBVR, but all im seeing is a white page, any ideas?
