[SOLVED] DirecTv HD-DVR not playing anything anymore

I wanted to try the new Serviio server. I installed it and tried to view something on my DirecTv HD-DVR and it would not play anything.
I switched back to Serviio 0.5 and now that will not play anything either. No music or video.
I can browse and see all the video when I select something to play nothing happens. No error, no crash and, no error in the log
I am able to watch video and listen to music just fine on my Panasonic TV.
I have run the server for a year or so with little problems. It runs on a 64 bit debian with trasncoding.

I have tried a fresh install of the newest Serviio on a fresh install of 32bit debian. I have compiled ffmpeg, lame and, rtmp for this instance. I am getting the same issue. I see all the video and audio, but when I select something on my DirecTv HD-DVR nothing happens. It just sits there doing nothing.
My panasonic works with this version also.

Not sure what to do next. I really liked serviio on my DirecTv HD-DVR but, now I get nothing.

Any ideas?

################ Update ####################
I took a packet capture while testing.
I see all the traffic that is populating the lists and menus.
However, when I press select on a file in the display I see no request from the client to the serviio server. I think it may be a DirecTV changed something issue but, hopefully there is a way around this.

Thank you.

are there any errors in your serviio.log?

I have turned log level up to debug and I see no errors or problems. I grep'ed for ERROR and error and found none.

The fact that I do not see traffic coming to my server when I select a video seems really bad to me.

Okay, so I thought it was weird that I was not seeing the DVR make a request to the server.
So I hit the ready, set, die button and reset the DVR. Started working no problem.

So really nice work on the app, really love it. Thanks for offering the help.
