I’m trying to set up serviio to connect to my WDTV Live Plus.
On my Windows 8 PC, the WDTV is not showing up in the windows devices section. It shows up there fine on my Windows 7 PC.
On my Windows 8 PC, serviio doesn’t see the WDTV and the WDTV doesn’t see service. I can play media via network shares off that same Windows 8 PC though.
Serviio works fine on my Windows 7 PC.
I’d think that my Windows 8 PC should see the WDTV in the decices section (like on the Win 7 PC) so I don’t think this is related to service, but more has to do with Windows 8 and the WDTV.
Any ideas?
Bump. Anyone have any ideas why my Windows 8 PC can’t see the WDTV as a multimedia device?
No one? I’m so stumped here.
The WDTVLIVE is showing as a device in device manager under system devices on the Windows 7 PC, but not showing up there on the Windows 8 PC.
My DLNA TV came today.
Well, I’m rather stunned right now, but the TV showed up on the Windows 8 PC, no problem.
I can stream Serviio to the TV.
What’s even better (and I guess the whole point of a DLNA server) is that if I plug my USB with an .mkv into the TV and play it, it says audio not supported. If I stream the same .mkv through Serviio, it transcodes the audio on the fly and it plays fine. Brilliant!
So why can’t I see my WDTV box on Windows 8?
