Sharp TV
Hello all... Long time reader, first time poster (ha!).
Anyhow, I have a Sharp Aquos TV in my living room and am using a wireless bridge to connect it to the network here in the back of the house. I can get to the internet without an issue and can even stream movies from this computer to the TV using the DLNA built into Windows Media Player to the TV; the TV sees that DNLA server.
However, Serviio doesn't see the TV. This might be a router issue. Though the bridge is set up properly, and the TV is assigned an appropriate IP address which is a member of the correct subnet, the router that assigns IPs doesn't see the "device". It sees all the rest. I will not ask for troubleshooting on this issue. I will go elsewhere for that. I am attempting to cross this being a Serviio issue in my troubleshooting steps. I CAN ping the TV from the computer I want to server movies from.
When I ask Serviio to scan for devices, it doesn't see the TV. When I ask the TV to scan for servers, it doesn't see Serviio. I believe that Serviio is the solution I need because it can transcode on the fly allowing us to watch MKV files on the TV. Let me know if it cannot do this now so I don't have to dig myself into a pointless hole.
Anyhow, I hope this is a good enough of a description to get some help for troubleshooting here.
