1) No, DLNA is streaming only, no tagging is possible.

2) You may need to enable this in the Media Server in MMW. I don't know for certain, but I thought that MagicNodes could be shared via Media Sharing.

Sweet baby Jesus, it worked! I was able to stream from my desktop server >> android >> TV. I have a couple of questions:
  • Can I rate music on my phone and save it to the tags on my desktop?
  • What's the best way to browse in Android? It seems like nodes don't really work. Or, at least, Magic Nodes don't show up.
Thanks!

You can achieve it with a right click on Player > Choose Player.

I'm having trouble finding the instructions for MM4. It looks like the above link is only for MM5 because MM4 doesn't have a Tools > Options > Player > Streaming setting from what I can see.

Yes, MMW4 can act as DLNA Server as well play to DLNA clients, MMA can cast to DLNA/Chromecast clients and stream from DLNA Servers (MMW4 & MM5). MM5 can act as DLNA Server and cast to DLNA/Chromecast clients.

So yes, MMA can cast to Chromecast/DLNA clients while streaming from MMW.

In Plex, my files live on my desktop and I can browse them on my Android phone/tablet. I can also use my phone to cast music from my desktop to my TV.
Can MediaMonkey do this now or in future releases? I know MM5 can cast which is very exciting because that's where I have my best speakers.

Thanks!
