If you open VLC's media information window (in the tools menu), when it is connected, does it give you any useful info about the stream it's currently playing? DNLA is a set of (alleged) standards about home network streaming. I might guess it needs mDNS (Avahi/ZeroConf) working for the source device to be automatically found by any player devices. It seemed to be working that way when I used a smart TV to look at files on a NAS with a media server built into it (as to how it found the NAS drives by itself). My dabbling with this kind of thing is quite out of date. A friend used some Western Digital media players connected to his TV set, many years ago. They'd find his media store (NAS drives, if I remember correctly, though could have been SMB shares), and the WD media players would trawl through the available contents generating an on-screen menu of things to watch. I could guess that their box has some kind of webserver that you may be able to aim VLC at (using the box's IP address). -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
