DLNA/UPnP client ( that stream music/video ) on Ubuntu 14.04


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.
