WD TV LIVE & DLNA - Playing now?
« on: February 19, 2010, 03:01:43 pm »

Hi,
I have purchased WD TV Live to use MC as my music controller to stream music and video to my HiFi/TV wirelessly.

Well, I can establish a connection from my Laptop to the WD TV LIVE via WiFi, but I cant get the DLNA-feature working in MC 14.

It simply doesnt show the box in "Playing Now": there is only "Find CD and Artist Info". I thought it would be a good idea to try it with a LAN-cable - connecting my Laptop to the router: same problem, not recognized.
When I check "DLNA" under "My Services & Plugins", I see an entry: "10.02.2010 22:04 - Server Stopped" - nothing else

In MC / DLNA, I was setting the "Controller" to YES, nothing else changed.
At the WD TV Live, there is nothing to be set specifically for DLNA.

Am I missing something? My general system configuration:

MY WD TV LIVE:
FW: 1.0124
Connected to a wireless router Asus WL500W


MY MC, connected by WiFi to Asus WL500W:

You must turn DLNA on in MC options.  Select all 3 to start.

Hi Jim, thank you. Yes thatīs what I also did - but now I could locate the actual problem: I deactivated the firewall. Zone 1 and the device WD TV LIVE  is now appearing in "Playing Now" :)

Do you have an idea, what I have to set in the firewall to be able to activate the firewall again?

Thx
