Serviio's UPnP identifier in XBMC

Hi,

I'm using Serviio on a windows 7 machine to stream to a Raspberry Pi running XBMC v13 on OpenELEC.
Serviio uses the Generic DLNA profile for XBMC, but that seems to work just fine because I haven't found a video or audio file that won't work.

But there's one thing that bugs me: everytime I restart the computer running Serviio, its stored reference in XBMC stops working. I then have to remove Serviio as a UPnP source and add it again to get it to work again. XBMC stores the reference to a UPnP source as a URI: e.g. today my Serviio URI is:
  Code:
upnp://022f9c3e-4538-31aa-a451-ff86dc6482f0
If I restart my computer that URI will change.

So my question is: Is there a way for me to set Serviio's UPnP indentifier to a fixed value? Perhaps using a custom profile?

Thanks a lot!

Do you have Serviio on a static IP? It uses the bound IP address when generating the UUID.

You know what? I don't know, I hadn't occurred to me that my local IP would need to change. As it is a windows machine, I have little reason to know its IP. I can't SSH to it ;)

But I'll check it out when I get home, and let you know whether or not a changing IP address was the culprit.

Thanks for the swift reply!

Ok, I verified it, and that was it. With a static IP the UPnP URI stays the same.

Thanks, again!
