DLNA/Remote Access Help Needed

<< < (2/8) > >>

dtc:
Bob - thanks. That was exactly the problem that caused the errors. I was typing when you responded.

Any thoughts on my other issues?

You might have a look at VNC like http://www.tightvnc.com/
The remote desktop is in general pretty efficient compared with DLNA

JimH:
How are you importing the network files?  Are they on a drive with a drive letter?

dtc:
Jim - on further checking, the system works fine with networked files that are accessing through a shared file name that does not have a letter it in - e.g.

\\Bbu0z\j river music on iomega\Bill Evans Trio\Waltz for Debbie\02 Waltz For Debby.flac

What does not work : on the laptop (controller) I select the library on the netbook (player) by doing File/Library and selecting the DNLA library from the netbook. It loads down the library onto the laptop (controller)  Once loaded into the laptop the tracks look like

http://192.168.1.2:52100/Music/F20.1000

The /Music/F20.1000 are generated by this process. They are not my directory or filenames. The track file names  on the netbook are c:\.....

The files play on the laptop (zone 1) but do not play when I use the DLNA zone on the netbook (player)

Sorry this is somewhat confusing. Hope it makes sense.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

It seems that I am in the same situation.
1. I have a server (windows home server) where all my music files are located, with JRiver (14.155) running. The files location in JRiver are network path type (//SERVER/MUSIC/xxx). JRiver on the server is dedicated to 2 tasks : Library server and DLNA server (all the 3 dlna boxes are ticked)
2. I use a laptop to control everything with JRiver (14.155)
   - the library is loaded from the server
   - the renderer can be seen in the playing device list (DLNA control box ticked)


When I try to request the renderer to play a file from the laptop controlling, I get an error message saying "this feature requires a DLNA server to be running. Please enable a DLNA server in Options > DLNA".

I don't see any complexity in this configuration, just a way to store files in a dedicated server with a other computer controlling features.

Do you have any solution.


Thanks


Best regards

Docles
