uPnP & DLNA
« on: August 24, 2009, 02:30:08 am »

Hi,  I have been trying to get my Sony Bravia TV to be able to access media from MC14 over DLNA without success.  Can somebody please tell me what the following error that I am seeing in the uPnP server window means.

"ConnectionManager not implemented"

The TV sees Media Center as the server but says it cannot connect to it.

I have tried setting the receiver type to "DLNA" and also "Advanced" and enabled DLNA from the uPnP options but still get the above message for both.

Any ideas?

Also, is it possible to see media via theatre view over the DLNA link?

Sounds like Sony has shot themselves in the foot again.  You could try a google search, but it seems that they want to play only with themselves.

Is the "ConnectionManager" something that I can "implement" somehow in MC or is this talking about the TV's connection manager?

I am also looking at buying a Samsung LCD DLNA supported TV - Series 6 32inch (LA32B650).

Does anyone have any experience with them or know if MC will work with its DLNA connection?

It looks like others have the same problem:

I'm guessing that Connection Manager is Sony's software product.

You could try running a sniffer to debug:

If you can get us a file, we might be able to make a change.
