Once the initial configuration of Plex has completed, support for DLNA enabled devices is automatically enabled.
Follow the configuration instructions from the device manufacture to enable DLNA and discover the Plex server. As
DLNA utilizes universal plug and play, there is no network configuration information required. For more information

operating system (OSX/Windows). To change this display name, go to Settings -> General in the Plex Media
