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.

Re: newbie help....directv

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

Re: newbie help....directv

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?

Re: newbie help....directv

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.
