hi, I have a similar problem so I thought I'd ask in this thread.
So, I have Serviio server installed on my PC (Win7 x64) which is in one room and an LG 42LV5500 in another room connected to the same LAN (both static IPs, Wi-Fi G-54Mbps).
The PC is conected to main router Dlink DI-524 by a LAN cable, the TV is connected to Well WRC3500 router by a LAN cable and this second router (Well) is connected to the Dlink router in a bridge mode (so the TV basically communicates with PC through only 1 router). Port forwarding is set up correctly, I can see the TV from the PC and the TV can usually see the PC (server).
When I start Serviio console, it sometimes detects the TV as 1. Media Renderer with green dot on the left side and sets the profile to Generic DLNA profile
or 2. LG TV/player and sets the profile to LG TV/player, however in this case the dot is yellow.
In either one or other situation the TV can (sometimes, when it "sees" the server) connect to the server and browse folders, however the folder structure is not complete and I can't see any actual file in these folders. It seems that it only shows the folders you choose to display in categories menu in Serviio console.
If I try to use Nero MediaHome I can see the folders AND files correctly but even going to a subdirectory means waiting over 1 minute and when I finally get to a folder with a file, the TV fails to play the file (loses connection).
If I try to use Plex, the TV doesn't see the server. Never.
I have tried to use the config I've found on this forum for some other LG TV model, but it didn't help.
Please can You help me to get it working? Thanks
