I have a dedicated Win7 box hosting a large collection of MP3s and running LMS 7.7.2. I was initially thrilled that LMS included a DLNA server and started using it to play music in my living room, with an Android tablet as the controller and a Sony '200' as the DLNA client/target. I was never 100% satisfied with how my library was sorted but at least it worked. Unfortunately, the LMS server now crashes whenever I try to play something through DLNA. Rather than try to 'fix' it (I did nothing to it in the first place...) I have decided to switch to a different DLNA server.
NOTE: I had already/previously disabled the 'Windows Media Player Network Sharing' service. My first thought was the White Bear DLNA Server add-in. I disabled the original DLNA add-in from Logitech, then ran the installer for White Bear, then rebooted. The system-tray icon for White Bear says that it is installed but I cannot see it on my network (from the tablet). From the 'server' machine, under Network, there is an available server called 'Unknown (White Bear)' which I assume is the White Bear service. But I suspect the Windows Firewall needs another exception. The official homepage for White Bear says that all these settings will be done automatically but how do I confirm that? Basically, I have been unable to find any setup or troubleshooting instructions for White Bear. Out of desperation, I tried re-enabling the WMP Network Sharing service. I can now see it on the network but when I try to access my DLNA app (BubbleUPnP) reports "access denied." So I am stuck. Any suggestions on making either White Bear or WMP Network Sharing work? Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bsmith1051's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56149 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95306 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
