He @ched999uk I didn't resolve it but I did do further investigation using various devices. On all software I tried (VLC, Kodi, RokuPlay app, others) the Aura would show up but it was never possible to move the play-head, basically you watch a show in one go or nothing.
My conclusion from asking people on VLC forums is that this is a server issue and the DLNA provision on the Aura is quite limited - not all DLNA servers provide all functionality.
I think you're saying you cannot see the Aura at all on the Fire stick though? Initially I thought this was due to VLC app version on Fire being old, but since the same issue happened on the stick on other apps I think I found some issue that older Fire Stick is missing something on the hardware side - do you know what specific device version you have?
On my Roku stick, I can see the Aura fine but still limited use. For streaming live TV around the house it actually works great though. I was going to upgrade my Fire Stick but then bought a Google ChromeCast in the sale - I haven't tested it on the Aura yet because if the DLNA server is cruddy, it's less useful, but I still mean to.
I actually couldn't get FTP to work on my Fire Stick either but I didn't try too hard. One thought I did have was to set up a DLNA server on my PC and copy files to that over FTP from the Aura. If you've copied the files onto the device already, you might see if VLC can play them when Kodi can't?
