We have a DLNA server in Windows 8 OS. the problem is, everybody that uses Windows, can easily stream music into the server (i mean play music from their PC's on the server), but i didn't found anything ( and i searched a lot ) in my Ubuntu 14.04 that does this and i tried VLC, AudioPulse, Rythmebox, ... this applications, only shows me the current playlist that is on the server, they don't let me add music to the playlist. Does anybody knows what app i can use ? thanks for the help.

Find and install VLC version 2.1.6 Rincewind. I discovered this by chance. Later versions that I have tried aren't as solid. YMMV.
https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/2.1.6/ My version has this md5sum 6de050559fbb1456b35303f04705145d *vlc-2.1.6.tar.xz
I run Ubuntu 14/04 LTS. VLC 2.1.6 works with minidlna on Linux, DVBViewer Pro on Win10, whatever my TP-Link router uses. a Panasonic DMR HWT 230, so pretty much anything stands a good chance.
