Serviio

Have a Samsung TV that has run serviio just fine for years and Win 10. Suddenly one day it will not load. There were no changes on the pc or tv that would have triggered this. It shows up on tv but just loads and loads. Initially I thought it was a recent auto update on my router. I fooled around rolling back drivers on that and then ultimately bought a new router. Still same problem.

However, my Ipad will still play movies via serviioo. At a total loss now and any ideas would be MUCH appreciated!

Just a guess, but Samsung probably released a firmware update that broke something on their side. I gave up on using the Samsung interface a long time ago. Instead, I use either a Roku or Nvidia Shield. Samsung puts very little effort in their DLNA player, and it seems to get worse over the years. Sony has done the same thing in their Blu Ray players. Earlier BD players would bitstream both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-Master Audio, and later players will only do TrueHD.

If you haven't done a complete reboot of the TV (not just turning it off and on) you might try that. Pull the power cord for 30 seconds.

Thanks for the response. I suspect you could be right that it was a samsung firmware issue. I've had no luck in being able to rollback the firware (seems as if Samsung prevents this). I did try a hard reset again as you suggested with no change. I just hate to have to buy another piece of hardware just to be able to stream from my computer. Very annoying as Samsung is supposed to be one of the 'good' brands
