Will Serviio meet my needs?

Hi

My needs are this:
I want to serve movies in various codecs to my WD-Live, PlayStation 3, Xbox and Roku Stick.
The roku stick is in my RV and while at home is connected to my home network via a repeater.
The repeater is on a different subnet, and has Udnp enabled.
I also want to be able to use the Roku on the road, therefor via an internet connection.

I had it all working useing PLEX. but the performance was not good.
For example, at home, the wd live on some codecs did not fast forward. Nor did the Playstation.
On direct play codecs both were able to FF and Rew.
I had a PS3 server running in the beginning and Plex could not do as good as the PS3 server.
The PS3 Server FF and REW fine. The colors were better, and it never did bufferring on transcoded codecs.
The WD Live also did well on the PS3 Server. What i wanted to do was provide a method of getting the Roku to see my home server via RV Park hotspots.
I turned to Plex as it had this feature, and an App on the ROKU. And as i said It worked but poorly.
Aslo Plex degraded the experience at home as well.
So therefore i have installed Serviio. The good news is that the PS3 and wd live work well. And apparently have a functioning FF and REW on transcoded codecs. (but i haven't tried too many yet). The buffering is all but gone, and the colors seem as good as the PS3 Server.
But I cannot get the roku to see the Serviio server.
I tried the channel "Chaneru" but it cannot see the server through the network.
So my question is this. Can Serviio be seen from a Roku stick from both inside a network and also from a long distant internet connected hotspot?
If so then how??

Thanx

Your best bet (in my opinion) is to ditch the roku in favor of a chromecast and the Serviigo App on an android phone. (or tablet) (and soon, possibly in the MB https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... diabrowser)
Will work seamlessly both when you are on your home network and when your not.

I believe being on different subnets is what's blocking your access from the RV. Enabling uPnP is for devices on one side of the router, and I doubt the DLNA packets are being passed.

Chaneru was a wonderful product, but Roku has released DLNA support in their Roku Media Player, and unfortunately works far better than Jim's product. I believe Roku kept some functionality private from their developers. However, the RMP won't get through the router either.

I'm currently in a hotel in Virginia, and I can watch my Serviio back in Seattle with a web browser and MediaBrowser. The hotel network was so slow that I switched to my air card on my laptop. Only about 3.5 Mbps connection, but enough to watch any of my non-HD movies. While this doesn't of course work on the Roku, if you have a laptop with HDMI out you could connect it to your RV television and watch it that way. Remember that this requires the Pro version of Serviio. Well worth the low price.
