Title: Roku Streaming player question
Post by: Bengi010 on March 06, 2012, 06:09:36 pm

I share my wireless internet connection with my tenants downstairs and they have a roku player, not sure which version, that shows up under my Playing Now tree in MC.

 I'm wondering if there's any way that I can either block it, so that I don't see it anymore, or if I'm feeling more generous, can I share my media library with them through it? 

Like I said, I'm not sure which Roku it is, it just shows up as "Roku Streaming Player"  and I haven't asked them yet if they can see or access my library already, but I don't see how they could since you need a key code and password.

DLNA is not password protected as far as I know. Anything a DLNA server can publish, any DLNA controller/rendere can play.

Same thing here, but it's a Roku on my own network.   Shows up under Playing Now like a streaming target.  Delete from the context menu has no effect.  Don't see it listed anywhere under options either.

Under Media Network->Advanced, turn off the DLNA controller option.
This will eliminate all DLNA renderers from Playing Now.
There is no way to eliminate a specific device.

If you don't want some device to see your MC server, under Media Network->Advanced, turn off the DLNA server option.
This will eliminate your MC DLNA server from all DLNA renderers/players menus.
There is no way to show your DLNA server only on specific DLNA renderers/players.
