Serviio

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 7:53 pm**

Hi all am new and not sure if in the right place so please bear with me.
I am planning a new set up as follows:
main lounge samsung 46 inch 5.1 surround etc
master bed samsung 32 inch
2 x beds samsung 22 inch
possibly with blu ray for all share
media cupboard - computer dedicated to film and music library networked to all samsungs with blu ray burn/rip (with serviio as the media server because seems to be the best for cover art and ease of use)
audio will be by way of a cloud dcm1 and amp wired around with ceiling speakers and wall pad controllers in each zone.
firstly would anybody like to comment on system I hope it will work

or any suggestions would be great sorry if off topic :oops:

have looked around all over the web and here to see the Serviio UI working on a video or something but cant seem to find, could anybody point me in the right direction please

Hi me again,
have just downloaded serviio and set up libraries. Question do I have to have a dlna device to see the interface or can I check it out on my computer, showing no device in status at moment although did pick up windows media player first off but would not open. hope somebody can help

Interface is dependent on the device. You can check what folders and files Serviio serves, for example via Intel tools' AV Media Controller

you can also use a software dlna render on a computer on the network. I use XBMC to make sure a file shows up and to watch files on my computers.

Thanks guys,
downloaded xbmc and put serviio as file for movies, works great, really have to order my first samsung today to have a play and learn all about so when system goes in it is seamless,I can feel a few late nights coming on

forgetting the audio do you think system will work and am I missing anything and do you guys have any preference on samsung tv model that works best, have read all the threads but still cant make up my mind.
will donate i promise as it seems you have worked really hard to put an amazing bit of software together.

i second that and to note DLNA wont work on WMP as its using one standard dlna setup that why we recommend XBMC.

get C series ones if you can they are much better than the new D series

(eg LE40C750)

Hi all,
have now set up with new samsung d6100 all works perfectly but a couple of questions please
is there a way of making the film thumbnails a bit bigger?
can I just have 1 or 2 files in each section
do you think it will all work when I have the other 3 tv's set up all wired cat6 and through a gigabyte switch

Under title it you can pick the 1st letter/number of the name and see all of the movies that start with that letter/number.

ie. "U"

Under siege 2 Dark Territory
