I have a Popcorn Hour C-200 and a Denon AVR-4310CI on the network. Both these devices show up automatically as zones in Media Center (16 and 17).
I tried to delete the Popcorn Hour zone but MC won't let me. Is there a way to hide or mask the Popcorn zone? I don't need it or want to use it. I'd prefer not ot see it. And, there does not appear to be a way to disable the DLNA service on the Popcorn Hour itself...
Thanks,

You should be able to hide a zone by right-clicking it in the tree.

Try right click and hide.

OK, I give up. Where in the tree? Under Playing Now, I see my zones. There, if I right-click on the PCH-C200, I can rename it, Link it, do other things, but can't delete it and no option to hide it...
-
You can't delete them; auto-zones have Delete greyed out. The Hide function is available for a Library, not zones.
-
OK, so could I make a request that a feature be added in the future to prevent a DLNA device from showing up in the list of zones? Call it Hide or whatever but have the ability to not list all devices automatically...
Thanks

Sorry about the crossed-wires.
Instead, disable:
Options > Media Network > Advanced > DLNA Controller (control other DLNA devices)

Sounds like you just did!
btw. the JR folks are away until Monday.

That doesn't help. That disables ALL DLNA Controller devices. I simply want to HIDE/not control one particular device. I still need to control my Denon receiver...
-
Are you able to disable dlna on the unwanted device ?
All dlna contenders announce themselves on the network and Mc shows what it hears on the Lan.
-
No, the Popcorn Hour C-200 does not appear to have any options to disable announcing itself. That was one of my first checks...
-
You can probably use your firewall to block relevant traffic from the Popcorn device to the MC machine.

Yes, there are probably a number of odd ways that I could achieve what MC should simply allow me to do. If MC will automatically list all DLNA Controllers as Zones, there should be a simple way to disable/hide a controller.
Thanks
