I have no experience with installing on a Mac, so I am of no help there. My experience is only with Windows and Linux, both of which required no special effort to open ports or anything. The fact that nothing is appearing in the device list on the Status page certainly appears to indicate that Serviio isn't seeing or being seen on your network.
Question: does your MacBook have more than one network connection? Since most laptops do, but usually only have one active at a time, Serviio will normally choose the active connection. But it's possible that it bound itself to the unconnected network device, and that would explain everything. At the bottom of the Status page in the console is the Network Settings. Normally it's set to Auto Detect. Click the box and instead choose your active network connection, then hit save at the bottom. Now see if Serviio is visible on your players, and if the devices list populates.
DMZ is usually for placing a server so it can be available on the public Internet. No reason to put a DLNA server there, as DLNA will not broadcast on the public Internet and in fact will be blocked by the routers out there.
The router's firewall is shielding your network from the public Internet. DLNA will not pass over the Internet, so your router firewall should not be an issue with your internal network communications. That said, as we have already discussed there are a number of settings within some routers that can mess with internal communications. But without having access to your router or the manual I have no idea what settings it might contain that are configurable by the user.
I don't know exactly what you mean by IPTV settings. There's no such setting within Serviio, and IPTV generally refers to TV streamed over a network, usually the Internet, not your local network.
