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

(+)

  1. Stream's subtitles: Kodi (XMBC) as media server did not streamed subtitles & i did not found any other app that did it correctly, until servioo (mind this was in 2014) , found Serviio and the subtitles were "streamed"; (main TV LG with WebOS using smartshare [DNLA]);
  2. Very simple setup.

(-)

  1. MKV; Some mkv files, are not streamed, and some are, (regarding mkv being a container and not a format i had to demux the files in order to work with the media server).
