Cannot see DLNA server on Panasonic Viera HDTV
« on: October 22, 2011, 10:50:48 am »

This is my first attempt to do this - after getting a Panasonic Viera GT60 TV: I can easily connect to Windows Media Player from the TV through DLNA, but I do not see the JR Media center as an option when I go to DLNA on the TV.  I must be missong something basic, but I can't find anything.  I have checked the box for 'Use media network to share this library and enable DLNA' in options.  What else do I need to do.  I am running MC 16.0.179.

DLNA has some advanced options you could try.  Also try searching for Panasonic here.

A firewall is also a possibility.  If you have another PC, try using MC on both sides.

What other options do you have set in Options -> Media Network?

Under advanced, I have DLNA Server, Renderer, and Controller boxes checked.

I am able to connect through DLNA Windows Media Player from another computer, the TV, or the A/V receiver, but none of these see JR Media Center through DLNA - I'm thinking it must be something wrong with the setup in JR MC.  Any other ideas?

Forgot to mention - also tried turning off Windows firewall - didn't work.

What options do you have set on "Add or configure DLNA Servers..." -> Advanced?

From the command prompt, I trust
Code: [Select]
netstat -an |find /i "listening" will show the port listening.

Also, in MC you could try deleting and re-adding your DLNA server (under "Add or configure DLNA Servers..." ). That would clear out, then standardize the server parameters...
