Serviio after BT infinity install

Hi i hope someone can shed some light on this situation. I have used a few DLNA servers in the past to stream to my Samsung Blu Ray player but none of them were as good as Serviio. I had Serviio up and running no problem for many months with my old TP-Link router on adsl and a Linksys one before that. BT infinity became available in my area last month so after years of 4.5Mb/s I upgraded to a nice 70Mb line. However once installed Serviio has stopped working. I of course headed straight to the internet and found a number of posts blaming the BT home hub 3 for being incompatible with DLNA, to that end I bought a TP-Link WR1043ND to replace it. Plugging it in sure that my streaming needs would be fulfilled again I was dismayed to find still no Serviio. The blu ray more often than not doesn't see the server and if it does it plays but disconnects after 10 - 15 minutes. This is driving me nuts I can't for the life of me work out what the issue is. I can't be the only one on here with Infinity and an openreach modem, anyone got any ideas? Cheers.

I have infinity-based internets (just not with BT) and an openreach modem. Serviio works fine here.
Re: Serviio after BT infinity install
check and see if there is a UPNP setting in your router. This some times can affect serviio. If you have the setting change it to the opposite and then see what happens. Please attach a copy of your serviio.log file along with you IP addresses for your computer, TV and router.

Re: Serviio after BT infinity install
I had already tried changing the upnp setting in the router and have just tried again. Fresh install of an older version (same with 1.01) I added a wdtv live on ip 192.168.0.6, serviio is on WHS 2011 on 192.168.0.3. My Blu Ray previously was on the 192.168.0.6 address but is obviously unplugged, the WDTV is there so I can watch folder shares which work no problem. I noticed there were no additions to the log either on the start of playback or when it disconnected again after about 15 mins.

Just seen the section on setting debug, will retest. Ok retested with full debug on.

It's not working because you have Sex and the City, and Sex and the City 2.
Re: Serviio after BT infinity install
But seriously (sorry) I'm looking through the logs looking to see what profile is being used, and all I can see is "Generic".
You probably want the bluray to use a Samsung profile.

Nope that's not it I was running with the right profile even with the two sex and the city movies 

Re: Serviio after BT infinity install
Hang on, I'm getting confused ...
You have two devices you want to use for playback, and both take turns to reside at 192.168.0.6, with the WHS2011 hosting Serviio on 192.168.0.3?
If this is correct, can I recommend you tell your DHCP server to assign different fixed IPs to both the WDTV and the BRD player, then give those devices the correct profiles in the Serviio console, restart Serviio and try again?

Re: Serviio after BT infinity install
No I don't use dhcp and the wdtv is there for testing purposes only.
Re: Serviio after BT infinity install
Oddly my Popcorn Hour A-100 seems to be completely immune to whatever my network issue is and is working just fine with Serviio (Thumbnails turned off of course) Still can't figure out why Bluray and WDTV live don't work.
