Thanks, Andreas.  DLNA access now works via the Plex plugin after I set 
all eth+ devices as trusted, and the TV now plays DVB-T recordings 
converted to mpeg2-ps, which fail with the Myth DLNA server.  Perhaps 
because of the Panasonic device profile in Plex?

They play in Firefox on my SL6 laptop,too.
