Can you be more specific about what you are seeing from the TV, and why you don't think it's accurate?

You create users in the console on the Users tab. After that, you have to grant that user account access to each shared folder in your library. If you have 6 shared folders (I have 9 myself) you have to grant access to each one separately. Click the Edit button on each shared folder and you will see where to add access for each user.

If it's something different, please let me know and we'll figure it out.

I used to have Serviio on my OLD laptop. That has now been scrapped and I now have a new laptop, and have installed Serviio 2.1.

I have a Sony TV, that shows Seviio on, in the Media Server Section. I now try to find my NEW laptop, but nothing ! Seviio shows on my TV several times, but all from my OLD Lenovo laptop, my new one is an ASUS

I have been trying to post a photo, but without success, sorry !

Now, why isn't the new Serviio install appearing? With wireless devices, it's usually a setting in the router that is blocking the wireless device from the rest of the network. They usually call it something like Local Access, or Client access, or sometimes something completely different. But what it does is block the WiFi connected device from seeing anything on the local network, and nothing on the network can see the wireless device. It's a safety/security feature that is worthwhile for someone that uses your network on a guest basis, but not for your trusted devices.
