Cheap, one-time license cost. Works great on my old Core2Duo Mac mini. I copy media to the appropriate folder over my LAN and it shows up on my ROKU devices (and even my Walmart Onn device). Can't really see a reason to switch away from Serviio after many years.

Love this media server, 2 years counting in my Atom mini PC serving as media server around the house, always stable.
