Yet another TV Cannot See Serviio Thread

Hey guys,

I feel really dirty posting this thread since I know there are hundreds of others like this out there, but after reading through a bunch of them over the course of few days, I've resorted to posting yet another one of these threads for help. I've also tried using the Samsung AllShare program but to no avail either.

I just picked up a D6500 series TV (192.168.0.11) that's currently connected to a Motorola SB6850 modem (multicast enabled) that <should> be streaming from my Windows 7 PC. I have been able to successfully get the TV to recognize my phone immediately and stream successfully off of it so I'm tempted to say that eliminates the router and the TV not being able to properly see DLNA devices. Additionally, while DHCP is enabled, I have assigned a static IP to both my desktop and TV via the router. I've also tried assigning an IP manually from the TV in conjunction with an assigned IP on the router, but no luck either.

For my PC, I've disabled the Windows firewall and haven't had any luck. I've also re-enabled the firewall but allowed all inbound connection types across all ports for the ServioService.exe. Additionally when enabling debugging, I've seen that it successfully multicasts across my Intel NIC at 192.168.0.3 which has been bound in Serviio. The only M-Search message that gets picked up is from my PC at the same address and that's it. I've searched through the log to see if it picks up the .11 TV, but no luck. I have also manually added the IP address of my TV to Serviio but it doesn't seem to check-in. (i.e. the indicator is amber.)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! And again, I apologize for yet another silly attempt to help, but as you can see I have at least searched for previous threads!

Also, attached is the log which I've removed the library from.

It looks to me as a firewall issue on the PC. Make sure you have no spyware/antivirus running there that might be blocking any ports.

I've disabled the firewall on the PC already and it doesn't seem to have fixed it. The only malware/AV that I'm running is just Microsoft Security Essentials which shouldn't actively block ports, but I'll give disabling it a try.

Any other suggestions by any chance?

there are 2 possibilities- either the multicast wont get to the TV or the TV's subsequent http request won't get through to the Serviio PC. In both cases it's something to do with your setup. Make sure, for example, that your Windows network is Home network (not Work or Public).
