In these cases the video sometimes "stutters" - I think it has to do with the fact that my wi-fi router is quite far away from my TV, I tried once getting it closer and that seemed to fix the performance. Elmedia Player is a very popular media player for any file format: FLV, MP4, AVI, MOV, DAT, MKV, MP3, FLAC etc. Other than that the only performance issues I have are with the large files (1080p HD) that have a lot of high-pitched background noises. Runs on all platforms - Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Unix, iOS. In 5+ years of using Serviio, it crashed only once, after an update clashed with JAVA version on my PC. Plays most codecs with no codec packs needed - MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, MKV, WebM, WMV, MP3. I particularly like that I can organize the files in any way I can think of, and choose to hide/show categories so that the path to the files that I want takes the minimal amount of steps. It plays pretty much any format that I throw at it, refreshes the library automatically or you can force it to refresh right away after adding a file. I found Serviio and haven't looked back because it just works. But it was very picky when it came to the different formats and updating media library, and I went looking for something better. You could also try Kodi, formerly known as XBMC it can be a bit more complicated to set up and works a bit differently. Both work similarly, offering a server you install on a desktop PC, laptop, NAS device, or dedicated home server. Monika's Experience I tried using Windows Media Player to stream my media when I got my first smart TV some years ago, and it almost worked. The two biggest solutions to recommend are probably Plex and Media Browser.
