DLNA Problem with Metadata

Hello guys,
I have upgraded serviio to version 1.5.2 in the Synology NAS DS713+.
I noticed when I have metadata enabled on video files (Online source or XMBC nfo file) I can't load from my Samsung TV video files through DLNA.
If I disable metadata (No descriptive metadata) I can load video files from my samsung TV through the DLNA Client ..
Anyone had the same problem? How I can solve it?


thanks, Nico

I have attached the logs

Are your files named on the correct format for online metadata to work correctly? If not, that's a possibility. The general format for movies is Title (Year Released). You have to be careful with the year, as I've found discrepancies between IMDB and themoviedb sites. Serviio uses themoviedb.org for metadata.

basically I never used online resource (But I have tested it) I always use XBMC nfo files cause I'm using Mediacompanion which download for me the nfo file from imdb and themoviedb.org automatically so I have my media always updated to the last news actors and so on.. it work because if I use serviio with the mediabrowser the nfo file are loading correct but when I try to use my samsung tv I through DLNA I can't connect to serviio it say there is a problem and I can't see media/audio/image. Don't know what's the cause..

OK, I misunderstood your first post. I thought you were using online resources. You don't have the option to use more than one source.

Now, as to why they are failing, I would ask for a copy of one of your NFO files, to check the format. I don't know it personally, but someone else can look at them to make sure there's no error.
