UPNP on Samsung TV to play remote media using DLNA (pics/videos)?

Has anyone tried this/been successful?

Essentially I have a USB disk on the TV itself and also remotely via DLNA on my home router.
I want to be able to send a TCP/HTTP command to the TV with a local or remote URL and have it play it using its built in player as I can select using it’s remote controller.

I imaging I should be able to do this with Chromecast (I have an old Roku which is not great and can’t get this to work on it so will prob. get a Chromecast). It would be great to simply do this using the Samsung should be Smart TV…

I think this can be accomplished using UPNP but I actually have no idea how right now.

Thanks!

did you get anything to work with samsungtv.
Please guide of you have something for it.

I did manage to get it to show youtube on the samsung but then stopped and switched everything to Kodi.
