Viera TV suddenly not seeing Serviio
This problem ties up with two events that happened recently so it's hard to know which one it is as I don't use Serviio on my TV every day. Basically my Panasonic Viera was working fine until recently when it now displays a red dot next to the IP for the TV.
Recent change #1 would be a router reset that I think may have caused internal IP address changes, though Serviio correctly lists the IP of my TV.
Recent change #2 would be an absolute nightmare I had with Java lately. Java just refuses to work as it should. If I try downloading it in Chrome it says it's up to date, but Chrome simply doesn't load anything Java. If I try to load something with Java in Firefox it says it's outdated and is a security risk. I have uninstalled and re-installed from the official site several times. After doing this, Serviio throws up an error saying Java is missing. I uninstall everything Java and download it through Serviio which seems to give a different version to the one from the official site. I install it and it seems to work, but then Java's website says I have the latest version AND an outdated . pointless one that should be removed. When I try to uninstall it, my RAM usage shoots through the roof until Windows crashes, out of allocatable memory.
Oh how I wish there was a non-Java version of Serviio.
In the mean time, can anyone help me get it working? I have a Panasonic tuner & recorder box that can see the Serviio, has a green dot next to it on the console, and can view the list of things on there but it can't play a single one, despite my Viera TV beiing able to play all formats I've previously thrown at it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
