No videos showing on Viewsonic VMP74

Hi,

I've got a Viewsonic VMP74 (which is UPnP / DLNA compliant, I believe) hooked up to my network; and Serviio installed on a Mac (MacBook running 10.6.8). The audio tracks took a while to show up, initially the VMP74 was reporting 'No available file to playback'. After a couple of hours they rather suddenly appeared, but the video files remain elusive. The log file (in Info mode, not in debug) is rapidly filling with this:

2011-10-15 19:19:40,475 ERROR [DiscoverySSDPMessageListener] Cannot open multicast socket,will try again

Serviio also has a tendancy to crash after a few hours - just disappearing from the dock (but still in the list of running programmes - it's no longer visible on the network - asking it to quit politely works, it doesn't have to be killed).

Suggestions would be really appreciated (although the final plan is to install Serviio on a Linux box which is my main entertainment machine, but I wanted to test it out first, and... haven't quite managed to get there yet).

Thanks!

Thanks for the link - so that error appears to be a bit of a red herring. I'm assuming it's the EyeConnect install which was my previous method of playing files over the network, I've now disabled that. Sadly it's not fixed the lack of video files - they simply don't appear at all on the Viewsonic box. Audio files are indeed still there (as a side point, because I was previously running EyeConnect, I know that it is capable of playing all the files I've got on the laptop over the network).

The files never show up in the list of files available to play. So there's a 'Videos' folder, but selecting it on the Viewsonic box causes the device to report that it contains no files.

I must admit, I've not done anything further with it, as most of our media is now on a different box running a different OS! It'd still be handy to get Serviio working though, for the odd occasions I want to play something off my laptop.

Do you know how it will be set through HDMI cable or have another port to connect videos from mobile
