Cannot see serviio on samsung

Hello, I am a newbie to this so please accept my ignorance. I have installed serviio and see my Samsung UN55D6400 and server is running. I have shared a folder with a few JPG pictures. I have this all connected on my ethernet local network, 192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.6 (tv). How do I see the files on the Samsung TV? I go to the SMARTHUB on the Samsung but there is nothing there to select.

Thanks!

My device doesn't see Serviio

This could be caused by you having multiple IP addresses on the machine and Serviio binding to a wrong one. Insert IP address of the machine running Serviio into 'Bound IP address' field in Network Settings section in the console.

Also make sure that TCP port 8895 and UDP 1900 are open in your firewall.

Hello and thanks for the help. I put the IP address of the PC which is running serviio as you suggested and also shut down my firewall. I also stopped and restarted serviio and turned tv off and back on. I'm still not seeing where I need to be looking for on the TV to access any files. Thanks!

On my Blu-ray you do not use SMarthub, there is a network area that shows all streaming sources in the main menu area.

Not seeing that option on either of my remotes. I have the Samsung un55d6400 model.

see attached.

Thanks but I not have have Blueray.

From your manual. Keep hiting source button until serviio or allshare shows up on your screen as the source.

  Code:

Changing the Input Source

such as a DVD player / Blu-ray player / cable

connected to the TV. In Source, connected inputs are
highlighted.

Thanks but I not have have Blueray.

I included this information since samsung is all over the place on how everthing works.

Tried the source option but only TV, HDMI/DVI, and PC show up.

Can you post your serviio.log file?

Yes...here it is...thanks!

Serviio can see your TV.

  Code:

2012-01-16 19:28:43,227 INFO  [RendererManager] Stored a new renderer: uuid='380d555c-e565-7f01-dad8-56c6e29abf92', name = 'UN55D6400', ipAddress='192.168.1.6', profile = '7'

Make sure that your ports are open.

  Code:

My device doesn't see Serviio

This could be caused by you having multiple IP addresses on the machine and Serviio binding to a wrong one. Insert IP address of the machine running Serviio into 'Bound IP address' field in Network Settings section in the console or pass system variable serviio.boundAddr including the IP address when starting the server.

Also make sure that TCP port 8895 and UDP 1900 are open in your firewall.

If you are on a Linux based OS, make sure you set up multicast routes properly.

If on Windows, you can push Serviio service down in starting order.



Thank you! So do I need to check the ports are open on the router and firewall?

Because right now my firewall is off and it still does not show.

[moltra]

on your windows machine run the following command in command window.
Post the results here.

  Code:

Netstat -abn

Also you need to make sure your Anti-virus does not run a firewall itself.

Also look and see if your router has a DLNA /UPNP option and if it does change it to the opposite and see if the TV sees serviio. Each router has this option working differently.

[zip]

do you have an antivirus that might be blocking the ports?

Thanks guys....here is my netstat -abn file.

Any luck with the netstat flile I sent? I still cannot get Serviio to work on this machine. Thanks.
