Serviio not showing from Windows 8

After I upgraded to Windows 8 last week my blu-ray sometimes see it, but most of the times it doesn't.

Already done:
- Enable homegroup;
- Enable file sharing for all network;
- Created firewall inbound rules for ServiioConsole and ServiioService;
- Setup bound IP address (serviio seems to be losting this info from time to time);
- Set a delayed startup for Serviio Service;
- Disabled "Computer can turn off this device to save energy" on network card;
- Stoped and started Serviio service (via Serviio Console and Services manager on windows).
- Removing and reinstalling Java AND Serviio;
- Disconnecting network cables and pluging it again.

Situations that occur:
- Serviio simply don't apper on device (device is still detected on Serviio list, and is shown with a yellow sign), this happens most of the time;
- Serviio appears and disapears of the device every other minute, this happen once or twice;
- Serviio stays on and plays without any problems, this happens occasionally without any perceivable pattern, so far I was able to watch 4+ hours in a single session without any issue.

What maybe happening? On Windows 7 64bit it worked just fine, from the day I installed Windows 8 64bit the problems started.

What do you mean? Can you post detailed log showing this?

I mean that if I set the Bound IP Address now, the next time I open Serviio Console the setting might be gone (the combo box is blank).

This happened when I setted it to the actual address (192.168.1.23 in that case) and also when I setted it to Auto Detect.

I doesn't happen all the time, but I noticed it a few times.

How do you want me to generate the detailed log? Stop the server, enable it, start the server, wait a couple hours to see if it appears on the device and stop it again?

PS: I forgot to mention that the Windows 8 Streaming Servers are showing even when Serviio isn't (actually it has been a pain the butt to hide the Windows 8 servers, since it shows my user and my wife's).

There is the detailed log. I tried to get serviio to show in the bluray without any success today. Yesterday I watched about 3-4 hours straight without a hiccup.

Also, what the are color codes on the devices list (red, yellow, green)? My BluRay player is always yellow, be it working or not.

The IP address for serviio is 192.168.1.23.

Two or three hours after I posted this log Serviio was once again visible in my Bluray Player. I don't know why it is taking so long for it to show up, in Windows 7 it was never a problem. Before Windows 8 whenever Serviio wasn't visible I just had to remove the network cable from my Bluray player and connect it again for it to appear (maybe some DHCP issues!?).

Now it is unpredictable.
