***UPDATED ***Help needed with Serviio - still not working
I have only a rudementary understanding of networking - I will need to google acronyms
My primary use for Serviio is to play video files on my TV, over my wireless network, that are stored on iMac
I initially had Serviio working, i.e. i could view and play files stored on shared folders on mac, however my TV no longer can 'see' Serviio, and i don't believe that I have changed anything to cause this to happen.
Hardware:
Sony HX850 TV
Sony S590 Blu ray
iMac i5
Airport Extreme (n) 5th Gen
USB internet
Network Setup;
Router is running in Bridged mode
I am sharing the USB internet with Airport via ethernet connection from iMac
Firewall is off
My TV and Blu Ray can access the internet via existing network and network (not server) scan shows all of the networks vitals are ok,
Serviio can see the TV with green light in console, however when i perform the Server Diagnostic scan on TV it returns nothing.
Please help as I am at my wits end
****UPDATE****
Ok without really knowing what i was doing i manually entered some IP addresses and it started working again - then computer went to sleep and know its NOT working again.
So based on this I think the issue is with my network and with how i am sharing my internet connection, so based on this assumption can some please help with the following:
If i manually set IP addresses on the following devices what whats should it look like?
just to restate i us a usb modem and share the internet via ethernet to the airport extreme. My iMac and TV then connect to the AE via wifi
In my network options I can manually set TCP/IP along with DNS for both the ethernet and the wifi,
Then based of this what should i manually set the tv IP and DNS to?
Thanks
Andy
