Home DLNA

There is no DLNA/uPNP on the PS4 (it looks on the network for it though, just does not make it visible)

You can however use Plex within the browser

• https://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/86381-plexweb-runs-on-the-ps4/
• http://wololo.net/2014/07/04/ps4-media-server-how-to-stream-all-videos-from-your-local-network-to-your-ps4/

Alternative via the webbrowser

Using VideoJS (https://github.com/videojs/)

First, you'll need to setup a http server (apache, cherokee, lighttpd, nginx etc.) on your computer (or RaspberryPi) which will serve your PS4 the media files through the web browser. Next, copy this code into a blank document and save it as an html file on your http server's documentroot.

 <!doctype html>
 <html>
   <head>
     <link href="http://vjs.zencdn.net/4.3.0/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">
     <script src="http://vjs.zencdn.net/4.3.0/video.js"></script>
   </head>
   <body>
   <video id="vid1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="auto" width="640" height="360"
       data-setup='{}'>
     <source src="mymusic.mp3" type='audio/mpeg'>
 	</video>
   </body>
 </html>

Then simply link the media in the html and copy it into documentroot of your http server. You can now play music or movies on your PS4 through the web browser! You can go here for the different mime types and replace audio/mpeg.
