Android APP - Add PlayTo Render Device of Content on Serviio

I Just noticed that the android app has notifications when new downloads are complete, it would be great if from my mobile i could tell the tv / media box to play that content using UPNP / DLNA protocol.

Re: Android APP - Add PlayTo Render Device of Content on Ser

At the moment the app is very much a version of the console to configure serviio, so it only has the name for the last added file as does the normal console.
So the short anwser is no, you will have to use an existing app that supports browsing dlna content and sending it to a device.

The reason is because before I could implement the playto feature, I would need to get the resource url, which would require implementing what already exists in apps such as skifta, upnpplay etc, which is the ability to browse upnp devices for content. Even then, I would have the file name, and would need to match it against the file's name after it has had metadata added, so I would also need to replicate turning a file name to a tv show name etc before I could find the correct item to play. Basically it is all a lot of work. However, I will investigate launching existing apps with the 'last added' video path as an option for what happens when you click on a notification, although I have a feeling I won't be able to do much better than just launch the app, it will depend on what support they have exposed.
