I posted this in the dev server area, but im still receiving this issue, before the update dlna was working perfect for me on all devices, now i cant log in to the dlna server on my yamaha avr or samsung tv.

 

Here is my log for my samsung tv just using the generic profile that comes with mb3, i get the same with my own profile which was working fine before. It just continues to load until it sometime says media request cannot be completed.

Out of curiosity am i the only one experiencing this with the beta that was just released?

I am not sure what changed in the dlna settings to stop it from working for me.

Im really at a loss here, if anyone who uses the dlna server could comment, i put alot of work to get my dlna profiles working and since the latest update i tried 3 separate devices that worked great with the previous beta that are now not working.

 

Has anyone else who uses the dlna server encountered this issue with the latest beta? OR is dlna still working fine for you? I dont know if its a problem on my end or the mb3 update. I would assume its a mb3 problem since the previous beta worked perfect but i would like to confirm if anyone who uses the server function can comment if it was working and is now not working for you. 

 

Play to still works fine. Its the server for me. I see new posts here about it not working but i get the impression it was never working for them.

you will definitely need to redo your profiles as there were some minor changes. i would start with that and then report back. truthfully aside from some of the new fields added to the profiles, there weren't a whole lot of dlna changes.

Thanks for the response luke, i was pm'ing some people i knew but they all used play to not the server.

 

I tried using the default premade profile at least for my samsung tv that comes with mb3 and I still cant connect. I will try again though. I had removed all my profiles last night and tried to use the default profiles and  had no luck either, the default profiles had also been working before.

 

I went through github and also noticed nothing really major has changed making it more confusing, i noticed the problems after the update on github linked to below. I was on github following recent updates and i switched to the dev version as i use the dlna server quite often and it stopped working. During those days i would switch back to the beta and it would work fine.

For what its worth and probably my last post on this until i get confirmation from other users this is not just an issue on my end, i removed all my profiles and just used the premade ones and my samsung tv says it cannot connect to the media source. My avr reports access denied, and my iphone dlna program shows mb dlna server but shows no content when you click on it.

 

Downloaded the official build and its all working perfectly again on all devices.

i think his issue might just be with the way the library is presented and now with dlna itself. i just tested on media house and bubble upnp and it went very well.

 

i am adding support for the custom views to dlna, so you will want to use the web client to configure them, and you will want to use the dlna settings to configure which user library to display.

I've had success with my Samsung B750, but not so with a Samsung E5300.

The whole DLNA system is just too finicky for me right now. I shut it all off.

Thanks for the replies luke and della dog, luke i will look into that suggestion.

 

I can honestly say as of about 2 months ago i had my dlna devices working flawlessly. I use it alot for music on my avr, almost daily. The tv not as much but it was working fine, never encountered an error even before the update.

I tried media monkey as well which used to work, and when i click on media browser i get no content now. Is it possible it has something to do with the port 8945 no longer being needed? I am really throwing stuff at a wall at this point. 

 

I am going to give bubble upnp a go since luke confirmed it works for him, and see if it works for me.

Actually i dont know if the server updated, or i updated it,or if it just stopped working, but I am on 3.0.5323.40465 and bubbleupnp is now reporting browse error: Current State of service prevents invoking that action. Connection error or no response received.

 

It did work earlier last night for me on bubbleupnp.

One last comment, dont want to keep bumping this thread but i just want to report findings with different dlna clients. I tried mediahouse as well with version Version 3.0.5324.31133 today and received a similar same error i am now getting on bubbleupnp, if its still working for luke yet or other people then perhaps i am looking at a problem on my end, i dont have any profiles for those clients i assume it just uses android premade profile that comes with mb3. All  6 dlna clients do see mb3 but just cant connect and display media for me. When i hit movies in media house nothing shows, when i hit browse it says current state of service prevents invoking that action, connection error or no response received.

 

I am using the official build again on another pc at the moment which is still working great.

Unfortunately I have never used wireshark, this is getting a bit over my head. I guess i can try it but i really dont have any idea what im doing just so you know. 

 

If its working for you and some others then im not sure what is going on on my end since the update, bubbleupnp and meidahouse are now not working for me either, only one other user reported the same problem as me, i will have to wait to see if it becomes an issue for more users. Otherwise i just dont know how else to solve this on my end or what is causing it or why the previous beta worked fine.

i'm just not sure of the differences in terms of connectivity. too bad because channels have been added. maybe look at the ip addresses the clients are connecting to, making sure they're the same on both releases. but that hasn't changed.

I am just looking at wire shark i dont know what im doing, i do see a difference although again im not sure i know what im doing. 

 

Could i send you the two to have you look at them? One is the working one, one is the not working one.

If your to busy for that I can copy and paste the difference at it seems to show a difference after you try to connect access dlna content directory.

 

Wireshark shows a red line after for the non working latest beta while the working one shows a purple line (I left out ports and ip addresses) "[TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]" the non working one shows a red line of  ms-sql-m [RST, ACK] Seq=2 Ack=938 Win=0 Len=0. I also see another similar red line with "ibm-cics [RST, ACK] Seq=2 Ack=938 Win=0 Len=0"

 

I can send you the files i just dont know if its a good idea to post them on here or if you even have time to deal with this.

My DLNA Server also stopped working after the last beta update.

 

I can see the Server on both my Samsungs, but i can´t get it to show me the folders, My tablet and phone works as normal.

 

Both TV worked just before the update, and nothing has chanced, beside somthing in that update???

Not sure if it's related but I can't get it to work on my Dish Hopper.  It sees Media Browser, but says "No events to display" when I click on it.  Does not show any folders or anything.  I have to manually find the server on my Roku also.

Did it work before on any of those devices before the recent update? Are you also using the latest dev version? The dev seemed to fix my issues.

Ahh thank you.  I had it set to Beta so I thought I had the latest version. I switched to Dev.  The folders all show now but nothing happens when I try to play anything. Thumbnails show for folders but not the movies.  I'm guessing I have to mess with the profiles.  I haven't really used MB since I had Media Center so this is all new to me.
