I've never tested an Android TV, so I don't know how "similar" that is to "mobile Android", but I would recommend installing another DLNA application. On "mobile" Android you have for example BubbleUPnP which works very well for browsing. In combination with BubbleUPnP many people use MXPlayer for video playback, which turns your mobile phone into a pretty capable "renderer". Maybe the same can be done on a TV.

I can tell you as much as that "CreateDLNATreeFaster" is a very bad hack that skips some of the steps needed to generate a valid response to a renderer request. I don't know what whoever made it was on, but it can't have been anything good. I am very surprised that there aren't more complaints about this, since some renderer configurations has this on by default. I don't quite see the point of making the process a little bit faster when the trade-off is that the result is actually invalid nonsense.
