Hi
I was having a similar issue. Suddenly my Sony TV and Serviio stopped talking to each other. This has been working for a couple of years now so why suddenly stop. I ran the Sony Network checker on the TV which confirmed that it could see my Mac's Serviio service but it was still not showing as available when I access the Videos section of the TV's options. I upgraded to Serviio 1.6 (Pro by mistake!) but it still didn't work. Then I remembered that I had been mucking about with my Wifi and Ethernet connections on my Mac. I also remembered a recent OS upgrade (I'm running 10.1.5 Yosemite)
Last night I checked my Sharing options and found that I only had the Screen Sharing option enabled to allow me to connect via VNC. I enabled File Sharing and Remote Login. This morning I checked and found that Serviio was suddenly available again and is now serving content to my TV once again. I don't know which, if either of these options enabled Serviio to connect to my TV (or vice-versa) but just in case it helps you I thought I'd share this
Also, my Mac doesn't have a static IP Address so I don't believe it needs one. I think that Serviio advertises and, since on the same network, the TV finds it and recognises it based on the profile in use by Serviio. As you can maybe tell, I'm no expert so some of this is supposition
Good luck
