Solution to no Serviio in WDTV Media Servers menu

Hi,

I have had the following problem: WDTV Live didn't display Serviio in the Video Media servers menu.

Solution was to edit the WDTV Live profile in profiles.xml file like this:

1. Find the file profiles.xml it's typical stored in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Serviio\config.
2. Take a backup of the file, because you are going to edit it.
3. Open the file for editing.
4. Find the profile for WDTV Live as shown below:

  Code:

   <Profile id="14" name="WDTV Live" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <UPnPSearch>
            <ModelName>WD TV HD Live</ModelName>
         </UPnPSearch>
      </Detection>
      <ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.PacketVideoDLNAMessageBuilder</ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>
      <ProtocolInfo>simple</ProtocolInfo>
      <Transcoding>
                 ... lines omitted for brevity


5. Replace the "simple" in

  Code:

<ProtocolInfo>simple</ProtocolInfo>

with

  Code:

DLNA

, so the line becomes:

  Code:

<ProtocolInfo>DLNA</ProtocolInfo>

6. Stop and restart the Servioo sever from the console.
7. Check your WDTV Live box and Serviio should be in the Media servers menu.

To the Servioo development team: Why did it work in one network configuration and not in another?

I had the situation as follows:
WDTV Live don't display Serviio in the Video Media servers menu. I have taken a Linksys WRT54WP2 router out of my network and attached the WDTV box and Win7 pc running Serviio to my DSL router, Zyxel P-2601HN-F1. I did it, because I figured out how to configure my VoIP on the Zyxel DSL router.

Before it worked perfect. The Linksys WRT54WP2 was configured with NAT and isolated the WDTV box and the Win7 pc including all other hard wired pc's and laptops from the WiFI network on the DSL router. The Linksys WRT54WP2 upstream network is connected to the Zyxel DSL router.
