Serviio

Posted: **Mon Feb 27, 2012 9:50 am**

i have Sony EX500 series connected to my PC. PC runs with Win 7 x64. Everything works just fine until i switch off PC and go to bed.

Next day i turn on computer, TV - and Serviio server is unavailable in TV menu. i go to Serviio Console and see a list of 2 device's detected:
1. Lan Adapter address = generic volume
2. TV IP address = Sony TV 2010 model

both incative, but normally TV pos has green dot. i press STOP button above this table, than START. TV becomes active. but still no connection...

the thing is, there's only 1 way to make it work. i just need to reload PC and everything works fine...

so, briefly, i turn on PC, TV - TV can't connect to Serviio media server. I just restart PC - everything works fine.

right now i don't know what direction i have to dig to solve this annoying problem

found some .log file in the serviio folder. so attaching it.

thanks in advance

This could be caused by you having multiple IP addresses on the machine and Serviio binding to a wrong one. Insert IP address of the machine running Serviio into 'Bound IP address' field in Network Settings section in the console or pass system variable serviio.boundAddr including the IP address when starting the server.

oh, how could i miss that! was watching FAQ... maybe cause english not my native.

anyway, thansk a lot. i will definatelly try this out as soon as possible.

and thats correct - i have 2 lan adapters in PC. one with 192.168.1.2, another - 192.168.137.1

so if Serviio(PC)-TV works thru adapter with IP=192.168.137.1 i should place this IP in 'Bound IP address', i got it correct?

Thanks a lot guys!!!

Everything works now! Serviio is best soft media server so far from 4-5 other i've tried.

The only question i have - is there any chance to enable video card hardware acceleration for transcoding?

Hello again, mates.

Have pretty same problem, but under different conditions.

i've changed my 2 network adapters inside 1 PC scheme to adsl+wi-fi router.

connected all devices thru that router. Serviio sees my TV, but TV sees Serviio Server as inactive. tried to bound IP and etc. - no change.

interesting thing, that now media server created with windows media player - inactive in TV as well. don't know how to solve this problem

thanks in advance

EDIT: false alarm. seems problem solved. became too many IP's

so i was bounding wrong one. now found the correct one and seems everything works fine
