Serviio failed to be seen after some time of inactivity

Hey

First of all, I was using Serviio for many years now. Thanks for giving us this great tool to stream movies to TV!

This problem I have started at least 3 months ago, out of the blue (I don't remember if there was some update that caused it). What happens is that when I start my PC, usually I can immidietly see the serviio server on my TV. I watch something, turn off the TV and forget about it (my PC keeps running). Then after some time I want to watch something again, I turn on TV but this time, there Serviio server is nowhere to be found. I have to run manually Serviio console, go to Status tab, and Re-start the server (even though it says "Running" to begin with). Once I hit that "Start server" button again, it is imidietly being found by my TV.

Anybody had the same thing happen to them? I never had this issue before. I think it's possible that it started happening once the Serviio icon in the lower right. It was there before, it's gone now. Maybe the system service that is now running in the background gets stopped after some inactivity or something?

No, doesn't happen with mine. Sounds to me like a Windows update (assuming you use Windows) has enabled putting your network connection to sleep when not in use. You can find a setting for this (again in Windows) in the Control Panel/Power/Advanced settings.

Thanks

I have maximum efficiency set for wireless cards so that's not it.

Actually, that might not be enough. There's another place that you can check. Open Control Panel, select Power Options, then select Change Plan Settings on the active plan, then Change Advanced Power Settings. Scroll down to Wireless Adapter Settings/Power Saving Mode. Make sure it's set to Maximum performance when plugged in. Any other setting will allow the network adapter to go to sleep, and it will only wake up when the computer tries to use it. Any external device will not wake it.

These steps are for Windows 10, but older versions of Windows have a similar setting.

That's what I meant. I have this option set to maximum performance. Had it since I set it up when I installed Windows 10.

OK, I've exhausted my bag of tricks then. For whatever reason it seems something is shutting down, be it the network connection or the Serviio process. Zip might want to see a Serviio log to see if there's something noticeable in there.

Doesn’t happen for me either. You will need to post a detailed log showing the period after turning the tv off, to when it fails, and then after doing the server restart from the console and subsequent detection by the tv. That may shed some light in to what is happening.

Thanks guys. I'll do that at the nearest ocasion

hello, that is exactly, what happens for me, too! But i´m using an Mac Mini and macOS. The Mac mini is running all the time without any sleepmode. When I deaktivate and reaktivate the server inside the console, it will be at once seen again by our DLNA-TV-device!!! That i have to do at least once a day, somtimes more often

what to do?
