Connected to EE Smarthub by ethernet cable. On Demand services (Youtube, iPlayer, UKTVPlay etc.) are all fully stable and reliable, so connection to router is good.
Also connected to Smarthub by ethernet cable: Windows 10 PC with a couple of shared folders containing video files - movies, TV shows etc. Sharing to home network using both Media Player AND Serviio.
Also connected to Smarthub by ethernet cable: Playstation 4, with Media Player client taking content from home network.
Playstation 4 can see both WMP *and* Serviio servers and access and play content reliably.
HDR1100s can sometimes see and access videos. Sometimes it can see WMP server but not Serviio (when both are running), or the other way round. Sometimes it can see one or both servers but when selected it says "No Items" - i.e. it can see there's a server there but it can't see that there's anything on it.
There are some formats it can't play - I'm fine with that, there are ways round it and formats it can reliably play IF it can see the damn file.
If I didn't have the PS4 on the network proving that the sharing works fine from the PC end I'd be tearing out my hair. As it is I can eliminate the PC and any connectivity issues and point the finger firmly at the DLNA client on the Humax as the problem. Its physical connection is 100% fine and the sharing is fine.
Can anyone suggest a solution that doesn't involve giving up on the Humax as a DLNA client and using something else? Intermittently it does work, but the flakiness is driving me up the wall.
