IOS DLNA app

[Bubbabyte]

I need some help finding a nice app, i've tried several but some only work half assed while others look horrible.

I have 2 computers on my network both running Serviio sharing all my media with my WDTV. i would like an app that will see and play all the media i'm sharing like the WDTV does but without having to run other proprietary server software. I was using AirVideo for a while and it's sleek and works perfect but it needs it's own software. I was trying home sharing with itunes, but it requires that itunes be running on the computers, and with a library of 500+GB its quite a hog, and the fact that itunes doesn't have folder monitoring is just plain stupid.

Can anyone recommend an app for my iphone and/or ipad that will do what i need as well as look nice..lol

Thanks guys.

I tried Plex, the server ui is clunky as hell cause it's web based, and it turns out that it doesn't show up on WDTV live, which makes it useless to me :(

I then tried Media Connect.. would be perfect but doesn't support alot of media files, specifically mkv, even with transcoding through serviio it doesn't know what to do.

any other suggestions?

Are you on Windows?

Because on OS X the settings are proper...

media:connect app works and if you open vids in flex:player app made by the same company it should play mkv
