UT30: anybody can help on how to use it with Serviio ?

Hello,

I own a P50UT30 and I would like to use it with Serviio. Unfortunately, although I'm pretty tech savvy, I cannot figure out how to configure it so I can actually see the Serviio server.

Just some general info: in my serviio-console the TV is recognized (more or less): the IP of the tv is found but not the Device Name or Profile. I set the profile to "Panasonic Viera G/GT/DT/UT/.." but from this point on I have no idea what I need to do.

I was expecting some kind of menu on the TV to be able to see the Serviio server, but there is no such thing (or at least I don't know where to look). When I press the Viera Tools button on the RC I see only these options:
Viera Link Control/Photo/Video/Music/Viera Connect
However, only the last option is working - activating the others shows a message saying that that feature is not available because I don't have any device connected to my tv.

I was ready to believe that my tv simply doesn't have this feature implemented, but I saw some people here having UT30s and using them with Serviio. So I decided to ask..

Thank you and sorry for the long post.

There should be the last option, media server.?



and when you click in




Also just check with the network cable plugged it that it is recieving an IP off your DHCP server, and try to ping it..

This is what I was afraid of.. I don't have that last menu - not sure why.

My model is P50UT30E - I assume yours is different ?

Yeah I have the TH-xxUT30A version.

If the specifications says it has a DLNA client, it should be there.

Looking online it seems the TX-xxUT30E version should supports it, not sure about other model numbers for Europe.

Well.. Not sure why the menu option doesn't appear. Anyway, I wrote an email to Panasonic to clarify this issue.

Thank you very much for your help !

Hi,
Did you have any sucess? I have the TX-P42ST30B and like you I can't find the 'Menu' to play things.

Thanks

No, still no answer from Panasonic. I'm afraid this is a problem that can be fixed only through a firmware and I'm not sure they will provide one.

Thanks for the reply.
I had to email Panasonic about something, they weren't very help full.

I did find

And that says that it doesn't allow media streaming, so I guess I can't do it.
