Serviio

using Serviio on Windows PC (Vista 64bit) to stream videos to Samsung TV
for some reason - please help understand what - every video stops after 15-20 minutes
replaying and fast forwarding helps, but i would like to solve this
on the PC the service seems to be running ok, network in order and all...
any ideas?

please provide more information on your setup

1. serviio detailed log file ( see howto in signiture) zip it up and attach

2. wired or wireless

3. OS? ok so windows vista 64bit

4. were is media stored? local drive ( drive inside ur pc ) or on usb drive or on network drive ?

5. have you got correct profile selected for your device? ( please give model number of your device )

Check the temporary folder free space.

ok, some more info...
will atach a log when get home, meanwhile...
the connection is all wired - both the PC and the TV ( by the way it's the samsung ua40c6200 - and the profile was detected and set correctly ) connected to to the same router
the files are located at the same local directory on the PC (there are directories in Library which are on external HD via firewire - not sure it has anything to do with this)
temporary folder has more then enough free space (~70GB)

in addition, a couple of times the whole serviio source became unavailable on the TV while watching a video - came back by itself after a few seconds, but it was too fast so i couldn't notice anything wrong

attaching debug log at the moment of failure
from what i gathered... file with id=24550 played for ~14 minutes then automatically started the next one
hope this will shed some light

what device is on this IP 10.0.0.5 ( kinda strange ip to what router are u using) as it bombarding serviio with m-search requests 42+ in one second ?

well... kinda as expected it is a Windows 7 laptop - it has no serviio on it, and no media that serviio looks at, but it has windows media player's library and upnp support, so from what i gather it is bombarding the serviio on the network with m-search requests like crazy
how do i turn it off? or protect serviio from it?

another thought i had is the netgear router i have - it also has some kind of upnp settings - i left it on default which is AdvertisementPeriod of 30 min. and AdvertisementTimeToLive of 4 hops - could this be related in any way?

On the windows laptop, you can disable the windows media DLNA server.

Here is a pretty good site on how the DLNA server works on windows 7. It gives enough information to disable it.

Another thing that I noticed is the 10.0.0.x IP addresses you are using.



This could be causing issues because the network packets, I think are going into the local side of the router being processed and then back out of the router. Instead of going through the router straight to the DLNA render.

For example My serviio computer is 192.168.2.14 and my renders are 192.168.2.19, 192.168.2.4, 192.168.2.11 .

Edited: added link to windows 7 media streaming so you can disable it.

+1
Same configuration for me. router is on 192.168.1.1 and is used as DNS for all renderers/devices web access.

thanks,
the netgear router has the ip of 10.0.0.138 and assignes by dhcp addresses starting from 10.0.0.1 - so my serviio pc got it this way. i will try to change the dhcp range to exclude the 10.0.0.1 as it indeed might be causing extra traffic.


moltra, could you please add the link?

Sorry thought I did.

ruslanoid, you fix the problem? I have the same situation and try to fix ...

tbh, not really remember now how it was solved, but i remember disabling the media sharing on other devices on the network - maybe it did the trick
also i am now using a different router then back then - it has different upnp settings perhaps which i remember playing with when it didn't work

Thanks, I'll try

I tried all the advice, does not want to run more than approx. 35-40 min.
Remains to change the switch...

I change the switch, no use.
Attach the last minute log file. Some ideas?
