Minor issues remain for my setup

Hi

I have a setup that works but I've been unable to work out the last small issues in my setup.

I run Servioo on Win7 x64 on an early nettop version, Atom 230 + Ion, my Tv is a Sony EX521 (and Sony blue ray 370).

The computer is setup to sleep and wake over network, this works fine. The movies are on a separate external HDD which shuts on/off with the computer (via USB).

My issues:
- I get multiple entries for Serviio in the menus on the TV. Is it IP related? Should I use a fixed IP?
- Every other time I'm unable to wake the computer and must manually wake it (in another room...).
- When I manage to connect to the TV I have to wait ~30s after browsing the menus, otherwise I will not see whats on the external HDD (only local files).
- I had to set sleep timeout to 2hrs or the computer will sleep during play... I know I this has been reported and was planned for 0.6, but I didn't see it in the release notes.
- Some movies get wrong art or no art, can I verify this locally somehow (dnla player?), and change names etc so they get the correct art?
- My MKVs are stuttering, aren't they supported by the TV (or what bitrate is supported)? Trasncoding obviously won't work with my slow CPU.

It works well enough for me, but isn't really "wife compliant" right now...

Thanks for any advice on my issues.

Re: Minor issues remain for my setup

- I get multiple entries for Serviio in the menus on the TV. Is it IP related? Should I use a fixed IP? yep fix your ips
- Every other time I'm unable to wake the computer and must manually wake it (in another room...). servers are not design to go to sleep so yes thats normal
- When I manage to connect to the TV I have to wait ~30s after browsing the menus, otherwise I will not see whats on the external HDD (only local files). yep that would be normal when using sleep
- I had to set sleep timeout to 2hrs or the computer will sleep during play... I know I this has been reported and was planned for 0.6, but I didn't see it in the release notes. anti sleep was not added to 0.6 as far as i know
- Some movies get wrong art or no art, can I verify this locally somehow (dnla player?), and change names etc so they get the correct art? check online database to check your file are correctly named or search these forum a few posts by me about file naming
- My MKVs are stuttering, aren't they supported by the TV (or what bitrate is supported)? Trasncoding obviously won't work with my slow CPU. profile lvl to high see the readme topic for more information
