Or perhaps not.  It plays h264 encoded Videos that have an .mp4 suffix.
My TV seems happy with that.  Ginkgo labels them as video/mp4.

As noted above, Ginkgo labels Myth h264 .ts recordings as video/mpeg and 
Kodi doesn't play them - but the TV and Mythfrontend do;  so it's not 
immediately obvious how to satisfy everyone.

... and it's GinkgoDlna  (Digital Living...), not as above.  Funny, I 
always thought the *tree* was a gingko.
