I also found browsing directories and files through DNLA slow and annoying.
My solution that I came up with is to make a companion mobile app or mobile web site, where I pick what movie I want to play, and then my server will serve only that one file via DNLA. When I want to watch something else after that I pick up the mobile app / mobile web app again and choose again and then the files for that movie or TV series is served instead
