It runs the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite. This keeps Pi’s CPU and GPU temperatures around 46 degrees Celsius when idle. I housed my Pi 3B+ in an aluminum enclosure that doubles as a giant heat sink.
Ports: HDMI, 3.5mm analogue audio-video jack, 4x USB 2.0, Ethernet, Camera Serial Interface (CSI), Display Serial Interface (DSI). 
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.2, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).Networking: Gigabit Ethernet (via USB channel), 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi.
SoC: Broadcom BCM2837B0 quad-core A53 (ARMv8) 64-bit 1.4GHz. The Pi 3B+ came with the following specification. It was the latest version of Raspberry Pi available back then. I opted for the single board computer Raspberry Pi 3B+. However, these credit card sized computers are limited by their processing power and other computational resources. Tiny single board computers such as Raspberry Pis are gaining popularity as DLNA servers due to their small footprint and low energy consumption. Any PC, Mac or Linux box can be configured as a DLNA server. PCs, Macs, Linux boxes, mobile phones and tablets can be converted to DLNA clients by using appropriate DLNA client software. Any DLNA certified TV, projector or streaming device can act as a DLNA client. DLNA compatible clients can connect to a DLNA server and consume digital media on the server through the home network. What is DLNA?ĭLNA, which stands for Digital Living Network Alliance is an industry-wide standard for sharing digital media over a home network. At the end, I settled for a MiniDLNA server on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. 
Three years back, when I was setting this up, I tried out many different media servers including KODI, OSMC, Plex and MiniDLNA. I needed an always on light weight media server that can serve all of my DLNA compliant devices. This little media server has done a great job and it continues to function flawlessly serving many DLNA clients in the home network including one 3D projector, several mobile phones, tablets, PCs and Macs. It has been a little over three years since I have setup a Raspberry Pi based wireless media server.
