Search is your friend, and there is a sub-section for FOXSAT custom firmware:

Look up Mediatomb. As I understand it, there is a FOXSAT custom firmware readme available from the Web Interface.
Please also refer to pinned threads in the FOXSAT custom firmware section of this forum: https://hummy.tv/forum/forums/foxsat-hdr-customised-firmware.38/

Give us a clue (make and model of blu-ray player would help} . Is it a smart model with media playback options ? . re-install Twonky it does work with the CF.
Does it has a DlNA client ? for me, Is it connected to same home network as your Foxsat ?
A LG smart blu-ray player worked fine . (Now replaced with 4K UHD HDR smart blu-rsy plsyer).
What packages do have installed, Are you trying to stream-HD content ? If so to what device ?
Sadly none of us have a crystal ball.

So improve it. You have to remember this forum is not the primary resource for FOXSAT custom firmware, even if the primary resource has gone cold.
So what client are you using on the Windows laptop?
Re I am hardly in a position to remove dead links, remove duplicated /redundant information. I am just an occasional tinkered, who is trying to get the best out of old technology which cost me not much and does 90% of what I'd like to do
Not shure I understand the term "client" Probably the reason I'm struggling. I use vlc veiwer
VLC will function as a DLNA client. Try reading this article https://www.vlchelp.com/access-media-upnp-dlna/

Windows media player is a dlna server. It's built into windows.

In the CF software addons are DLNA servers. I use Twonky 4.
In addition to nowsters patch you may need the convert files add on. This changes the audio track which plays back on the remote client. Often this is the audio described track rather than the main one.
eg streaming HD recordings from a Foxsat-HDR to a 2nd generation Humax freesat box like the HDR-1000S needs this add on. 2nd generation boxes have a client with the standard software

Tried following the link re vlc /playlist. When I select Media Tomb. Or re enabled Samba. The laptop exits from vlc. Maybe its to old to cope?
I put vlc on an Android tablet. Twonky and Medi Tomb are seen but no files in them.?
Anon. Able to veiw on Android devices via VLC/Media Tomb. "Twonky version has expired"! but not old laptop! Thanks
What version of VLC are you using on the laptop? What operating system and version is it running?
Re, not really bothered about the laptop. It is stone age! It's working on the tablet now and that will suffice, shame the hdr software can't be modernised as it is so nearly there!
