What's not showing on your Sony TV
Is it
1) - No Serviio icon appears ?
2) - Videos don't play ?

My Sony Bravia has a menu setting it's called "Server Diagnostics" as I remember.
This checks out the network for servers and test their capabilities.
It also shows you what, if anything, it thought was wrong. ( Options button ).

Perhaps your Sony is similar.

On Sony menu, do you try to clear all server list and try to refresh ?

You could try switching windows firewall off for a test.
You do it in control panel.
Once off then try you TV again.
Don't forget to switch firewall back on again.
