Windows Server Nothing working

[DJX]

Not expecting much since it's free but I thought I'd give this product a try.

I just wanted a daemon to run on my server with no transcoding.
Was basically just looking for a DLNA transport daemon.

Device discovery is very flaky.
I usually have to click: "Restart Server" while my XBOX is at the select source screen in order for it to find the server.
WMP12 usually never finds it.

I can not even see files from WMP12 or XBOX 360.
Didn't bother trying more devices since this was just a test install and I couldn't even see files from my two primary devices.

Just noting my experience.

See attached Debug File.

Thanks.

I see that you disabled all engines and that is the problem. At least one engine must be enabled for each category - video, audio, web video stream. Which meadia will be transcoded or streamed is set in the renderer.conf. WMP12 is not working with UMS due to Microsoft special DLNA implementation.

[DJX]

Ok, thanks.
I'll give that a try.

Like I said, I really don't need transcoding, just a DLNA transport daemon.
So, I would have to hack away at the render.conf files to disable transcoding?

[valib]

The problem is that there is not a renderer which can support all combinations of video or audio settings which people can produce. So disabling transcoding doesn't work and you can miss the media which your renederer is not capable to show. If you don't want transcoding you have to convert the media to the format your renderer is capable to show.

[DJX]

Yes, I know.
However, I'm not worried about that ATM.

My XBOX will still not connect to UMS.

My Denon X4000 froze while try to browse my video directory.
Not sure if this is UMS or Denon.

Just out of curiosity.. you're trying an XBOX 360 and not an XBOX one right!?

[DJX]

Correct.
XBOX 360.
Sorry for the confusion.

Well i see UMS discovering the Xbox 360 in your Debug.log

[DJX]

Nope, good old American...Ohio

This is from memory, sorry for the inexactness:
On my Xbox, I hit the middle Xbox button on the controller.
That opens up the Xbox menu thing.
From there I move over to Media or something to that affect.
I select an audio source (HDD/uPnP)
I Select UMS and it just sits there trying to connect.
Eventually says there is a firewall or something blocking communication.

No firewalls inside the LAN.
