"Playing Now" does not display my Sony TV's or NVidia Shield
« on: February 06, 2019, 06:34:42 pm »

I can no longer see any Playing Now Information for any of my android devices (2 Sony TV's and an NVidia Shield).

I used to be able to see the Sony TV's but believe that this changes with a recent update to the TV firmware.

I would also like to be able to see Playing Now information for anyone connected to MC via PANEL/Gizmo/JRemote.

thanks

Dave

Only renderers would show up in Playing Now.

Given the number of devices that can be connected, the inability to see "non-renderers" such as Android devices reflects a huge gap that I hope can be corrected.

I would assume that your two Sony TVs and the nVidia Shield are in fact DLNA Renderers, and should up under Playing Now as Dynamic Zones.

You may have the same situation that I have, which I haven't documented properly yet.

Can you tell me, on the MC installation where you used to be able to see these devices, and now cannot, how many Zones do you have configured? Just the default "Player" Zone, or do you have some others?

Perhaps post an image of your Playing Now, showing the Zones visible. Thanks.
