Make of Router is Huawei and Model is HG633.Soory, the only manual I acn find on the Internet doesn't go into enough details to make a call on whether it should work.
I can connect (temp) with Ethernet cable for testing purposes tomorrow.
That sounds like a good plan to me.
Just want to know when it connects what to do from then...On PC to view video on TV thru the Humax.
Nothing on the PC; what content stored on the PC are you trying to view?

Hi Martin,
I have films that have been d/loaded and are in a separate folder. My initial question was could I stream from PC (KODI)TO Humax. I have even got a Kodi Add-On as a device on my PC..
If I open Windows Media player I can see the Humax and can play videos that are on my Humax Hard Drive. But not the other way.
I,ll get a chance tomorrow to connect the cable and see how things go from there. I did use a USB before..some files played..others needed a file conversion..I may have to revert to that plan if my network doesn,t work.
I,m a novice at this but would like to get sorted if possible with the help from you and others.
Many Thanks..| Tue 14 Mar 2017 15:10:13 #13 | -

I have films that have been d/loaded and are in a separate folder.So what file format are the movies? The Humax DLNA client is rather fussy about what it will play. An alternative would be to install the custom firmware on the Humax and access the recording using file sharing (SAMBA).

Many Thanks..Most .mp4 files work, at a guess .flv need conversion. VLC Player will convert .flv to .mp4. 24p files can be a bit jerky due to lack of 24/48Hz support. My LG bluray player supports 24p streamed files so does a better job than the Humax.

I tried a couple of mp4's one 1920 wide and the other 1280 both worked OK.

Hi,
I have ran a temp ethernet cable between router and Humax and I.m viewing all video folders.
So.the problem must lie with a wireless setting or two.
I.ll take a note of IT Addresses within both devices.Anything else I would need to look at?Cheers

CheersYour wireless adaptor is set to a different subnet to the ethernet adaptor.
