[Solved] Samsung TV can't see Serviio
Unfortunately I have not yet succeeded in making my Samsung TV see Serviio.
The TV is a Samsung UE40ES8000S which has DLNA capability.
Using the Samsung utility AllShare I have successfully been able to stream an mpg file from the PC to the TV.
Now with Serviio so far I have :
- installed Serviio 1.0.1, the server runs and is visible in the Windows system tray
- stopped the Samsung Allshare server
- assigned a shared folder in the Serviio console with one video available for sharing in the folder
- in OS Win 7 (64 bit) allowed access to the shared video folder
- in the console observed that the TV is listed in the status window
- inserted the local IP of the TV in the field called "Bound IP address".
- under profile told Serviio that it's a Samsung TV (C/D/E series)
- removed the Window Media player from the status list
- in the Windows Firewall opened up TCP8895 and UDP1900 ports for incoming and outgoing traffic
- in TPLink Router Firewall opened up TCP8895 and UDP1900 ports for incoming and outgoing traffic
As far as I understand I should now be able to press the source button at the top of the Samsung remote control and see the Serviio icon on the list underneath the items TV and EXT.
Thanks if anybody has a tip.
