WDTV Live (Gen 1) problems - Connection Error

Hi All

I have my Main PC setup with Serviio to stream videos around my house and it seems to work perfectly with most of my kit, in particular my blu-ray player and my old xbox running XBMC, both of which work flawlessly.

However, as a lot of my newer video files are in h.264 format which my xbox doesn't playback, I decided to dust off my WD Live (Gen 1 2009) and see if it'd work. I switched on, went to media servers and there was my Serviio server and I could browse the folders fine and start playing videos perfectly. However, after about 5 mins or so (maybe slightly less time than that) I get a connection error and it stops playing. From that point onwards it no longer sees the Serviio server under the media servers section.

I have checked using my xbox and the server is definitely still working but the WD can't see it until I do a full power cycle.

The WDTV Live is running the latest version of the WDLXTV firmware (1.02.21-WDLXTV-Live-0.5.1.1 [flash]) and I'm running the latest version of Serviio.

For further info the WD and xbox are both connected via network cable to a router which is hooked up to my main modem/router via a cable too and is working just as a switch and a wireless acces point. I have ensured that the second router has upnp, DCHP, DNS disabled.

I also have a Sony Blu-ray player (S370) which picks up the Serviio server fine and plays video without any problem (though I did notice yesterday it seemed to have some isue whiles browsing my music on the server...)

My Humax HDR Fox-T2 sees the server but fails to connect with it...

Any help very much appreciated because I am truly stumped.

(I enabled detailed logging last night but it was very late and I had to give up playing around to get some sleep,I shall try to post a log this evening.

I have WDTV Live (new one).

I did have problem but maybe another nature then yours.
The big problem was my brothers laptop with Windows7. (i have winXP)
He's laptop was master browser. So he pushed my wireless connection of the WDTV.

I "played" with his master browser setting and killed a few of his windows7 services. (That solved him)

My connection was super, but few times something went wrong and i lost connection again and again. (another wireless connection obviously came in the way)

Solution number 2 was that gave manual ip adress to all of my home pcs and customized router settings to accept only a few adresses i wanted and not one of my neigbours neigbours. Also i connected WDTV with router with a wire.

Not a single lost connection since.
