I don’t have a vero, but have 2 systems running OSMC.
My main DLNA server is a headless Plex Server. To access it, using PlexBMC (dead addon) and a helper. The versions are:
plexbmc-helper-v3.4.2.zip plugin.video.plexbmc-3.1.5.zip
I dislike every plex client I’ve seen, but love a few things it provides that kodi doesn’t like transcoding based on the client capabilities and access from anywhere in the world through my VPN without trusting any external provider are nice. Under Kodi v18, PlexBMC isn’t nearly as nice as it was previously. Call it personal preference.
There are a few other DLNA servers, controllers, and renderers on the LAN that get used a little to access the centralized media.
I’d rather have finer control over the media shared which DLNA doesn’t support, but the real-time transcoding and web interface streaming make up for that.
Kodi doesn’t really know much about the media on the network here. I don’t replicate it into any of the Kodi DBs. My Plex Server is a dual-core Intel system ($126 in parts) providing many, many, other services to the LAN (NFS, Calibre, Plex, Nextcloud, etc.). The machines running Kodi are all SBCs, with slow networks, slow storage, and are basically treated as video/audio rendering systems only.
