[SOLVED] DirecTV C31 Client unable to stream video

I have been unable to find any more recent comments/solutions about this problem on the board. There was a year old post about someone with a similar problem but no solution was listed.

I'm having the same issue right now. I show the main C31 IP address that the Genie HR34 throws out to the C31 and have that profile set to DirecTV transcoding, but the auxilliary C31 IP address assignment is not showing up in the list for me to change DirecTV profile. As I understand it, the C31 actually gets 2 IP addresses to use, 1 is thrown to it directly from the HR34 for them to communicate (shows up in the Serviio list), but the other one it actually uses over the home network is not seen or broadcast evidently.

Since the DirecTV and C31 are the only transcoding profile I need, I was curious if there was any way to make the Generic profile just have all that the DirecTV profile has already added on maybe so I wouldn't even have to worry what profile was set for my particular setup? That way Generic would just cover what I already have. Or if there could be a default profile that you could select for all transcoding that Serviio performs and have DirecTV as the default.

I tried to copy and paste the DirecTV transcoding profile info into the Generic profile in the XML file but then Serviio just refused to load as it recognized the XML profile had been altered and not working correctly.

Thanks.

Copy each section at a time: ie:

• copy everything inside the <Transcoding> to </Transcoding> block (excluding those two lines) from the Direct TV profile to just under the <Transcoding> line in the Generic profile;
• Same for <OnlineTranscoding>
• Same for <HardSubsTranscoding>
• Dont copy the <Detection>block

Not sure this will solve your problem though - let us know. If I remember this issue properly, the IP address that is seen by Serviio is on a different subnet from the Serviio server, and that won't work. Make sure you're on the latest Serviio version, there was some work done a while ago to assist by ignoring strange IP's.

No, it still double checks the XML setup and kicks the service off shortly after starting it.

I tried taking out what I thought might be where it is going to check the profiles.xml but it never got past this error.

This is what your Generic Profile will look like:

Replace the existing Generic DLNA profile with this one, save and restart your PC. I have tested and this starts up fine.... however I still have my doubts that this will solve your problem. What IP addresses are showing up?

AWESOME!!!

Thank you so much, works 100% now!!

And to answer your IP question.

I have MediaRenderer (which is the DirecTV HR34 box) at 192.168.1.17
Then I have C31 (which is the C31 Mini) at 169.254.10.211

Both of them are set for the DirecTV HD-DVR profile

The C31 would not work, it just showed a black/blank screen when I tried to stream anything to it. So I was reading online that the C31 actually gets a secondary IP when it streams anything that is in the 192.168.X.X range, but for whatever reason Serviio does not pick up on that IP address, so there was no way to set up what transcoding profile it should use. So I assumed when it was streaming and you could not select DirecTV HD-DVR as the transcoding profile that maybe just making the default profile already be set for DirecTV, then it would just work. And it does.

Which is what you solved for me.

Thanks again. Works great!

Hey wiles01, that is excellent - this has been a long standing issue for these devices that advertise two addresses, so well done in finding a solution (despite my skepticism!). Hopefully this may assist other users that had the same problem.

For other users - be aware that while it works in the case where you only have the one renderer it may cause issues for users with multiple renderer devices. Particular attention should be paid to OnlineTranscoding and HardSubsTranscoding blocks (these will generally be inherited by other profiles, so the changes made to the Generic DLNA profile will affects all renderers).
