Help Streaming Sony RX100 III Camera to WD TV Live - Mac

I hope someone can help me with this. I know very little about streaming, DLNA servers, etc., and have been struggling for the past couple of days. The Sony DSC-RX100 III camera has a menu option, View on TV, by which it uses a Wi-Fi network to stream images to an internet-enabled TV. I have heard that some people have done this successfully using a WD TV Live box. I got a WD TV Live box and downloaded Serviio to my Mac. Now when I go into the WD TV Live system screens and select the content source for Files or Photos, and then select Media Server, the WD TV Live screen shows the name of the Serviio server running on my computer. So far, so good, I thought. But, when I go to the camera and activate the View on TV menu option, the screen for Select Connection Device just says Searching .... and never finds the WD TV Live device or anything else. I have checked numerous times to make sure the camera and computer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and that the WD TV Live device is also connected to that network. In Serviio Console, I did select the profile for the WD TV Live device.

If anyone has any ideas for how I can configure Serviio or take any other steps to get this feature working, I would appreciate it before I pull the rest of my hair out!! Thanks for any help you can give me.

You can use this function on a TV that supports DLNA renderer.
You can view images on a Wi-Fi Direct-enabled TV or network-enabled TV (including cable TV).
If you connect TV and the camera and do not use Wi-Fi Direct, you need to register your access point on the camera first.
Displaying the images on the TV may take time.
Movies cannot be shown on TV using Wi-Fi. Use an HDMI cable (sold separately).

Thanks for that information. I did see that advice in the Sony camera's documentation, and I have tried everything it suggests, but I still haven't been able to get it to work.
