I'm no expert, but a JSON or XML has to be generated for Direct Publisher to work no matter what your server is. I'm not familiar with "Serviio DLNA server" but DP only works with JSON and XML files. As long as the server can serve up HTTP protocol you should be good.
What is generating the XML files for your channel? What does that look like? If this is just being hosted locally then it should work but the json still has to be there.
I know that's not very helpful, but can you give some additional information about the links that are being provided? The API is probably not going to be an option for a DP channel. I still haven't figured out Brightscript or the SDK enough to help with getting that up and going. (If there are anybody who can provide some insight on that it would be AWESOME.)
Appreciate the reply. From the Serviio API documentation page, it does support an HTTP via JSON or XML. This is the result of the application.xml file from the server:
<application>

The API is server based, so it isn't something the player has to have installed. The API is what generates the XML files. Like I said, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Brightscript and Roku programming. If I could understand how to make that initial connection (and probably have to build a connection screen for user input for server URL and password), I should be well on the way to get the basic functionality.
Thanks!
