    Hi All,

    I am trying to view videos located on my PC using the Humax 1100s 'media share' function which I believe to be a DLNA client?

    Try as I might I can't see any DLNA servers in media share. I have tried the inbuilt Windows 10 service and a third party media server (Serviio) both of which are visible on other devices on my network (e.g. VLC on my iPad) but not on the Humax.

    On demand services work fine and I can 'ping' the box successfully so network connectivity seems fine - just no media servers showing up!

    Any idea what I am doing wrong? The manual is silent on media sharing.

    What file container and what Video/Audio codecs do the videos you want to stream use.

    MediaInfo will tell you the codecs.

    Use View - Tree to see full details

    Is your PC part of a workgroup and does your workgroup Video folder have a link to your shared video content ?

    Yes - Homegroup setup.

    They are files recorded on an old Humax Foxsat HDR (.TS) show should be OK.

    Just played back a 1080p24 stored on my PC OK. I know I can stream from my Foxsat-HDR to HDR-1000S (Done it many times). You need the custom firmware and a DLNA server package.

    Hi Graham,

    Thanks for taking time to help me. I didn't think there was any custom firmware for the 1100s?

    The files are taken from an old Foxsat HDR (which did have the custom firmware - hence why I was able to transfer them to my PC). I am attempting to play them back on my new 1100s via the media share function that is built in to the new box. I have a media server set up (Serviio) which works on every other device on my network except the 1100s - puzzling!

    There isn't any custom firmware, I was referring to the Foxsat-HDR.

    The built in Windows 10 DLNA sharing works fine for me. If you read the thread I linked to that refers to jpg's but principle is the same. I can test a Foxsat file if you wish from my PC.

    I've followed the thread and set up Win 10 DLNA and it works - on other devices - but not the 1100s...

    I will try my 1000S (same hardware and software) I may of been thinking FVP-5000T.

    You are right 1000S shown no content at all when laptop is selected. It works fine using Twonky Media server on Foxsat-HDR and built in server on HDR-FOX-T2.

    In Windows Media Player - check the settings under "Stream" including "More streaming options".
