help...how do i change a profile? i apprecite you helping
..

In the serviio directory under the config directory is a file called profiles.xml. You just need to make the changes Zip refered you to in that other thread. Then you need to restart Serviio to load the new profile.

Thanks...i found the profiles.xml but i can't edit that file...what am i doing wrong?

Open it with notepad or any text editor.

ok did that and was able to change it.....not yet able to try it out but will keep you posted....( at work but use the same laptop as my server at home).appreciate your help....

Ideas? help? When it does it is great. Only issue I see soemtimes some video files go super slow...ideas?

Does your PC have a static IP address? If not it might be the cause.

sorry for my ignorance...how do i check? i will say i have two computers running serviio and ( one a desktop and one a laptop that i transport backa nd forth from work to home) No problems at all running serviio on my desktop except after time the ffmpeg stops ( could that be a memory problem as i am running it on a old computer?)....again thanks for the help...

We are on a secured wireless network

you can setup a static IP address on your computer or you can set it up on your router. I would also setup a static IP address for the TV.

What O/S are you running and what router?

it is dynamic does it need to be static?

windows 7 and the router is a netgear

and its the directtv receivers and the sony media receiver, do i need to do that on all devices?

[moltra]

I have all mine on static, it is just more reliable. Yes even on the DirectTV and the Sony meida receiver.

this allows better troubleshooting, since all the IP addresses in the log will be the same.

I probably would use the router to assign static IP addresses to each item. Easier than going to each one and setting each one by hand.

If you can not figure it out post your Netgear model number and I will see if i can figure it out.
