Has anyone been able to succesfully use Mediaplayer 11 as a UPNP server?

Question

I am trying to use Mediplayer 11 as a UPNP server, I have all the settings correct and the manual on my Philips WACS 7500 recommends MP11 as the software. No luck though. I also tried twonkyvision - it worked for 30 mins and then nothing. Also tried tversity but that didnt work at all.

Answer 1

Tversity works great and it uses Mediaplayer 11 as its backend. So if you cant get either one to work it sounds like either a firewall issue or a router issue. Make sure your router is enabled for UPNP passthrough and for secondary measures to test set up a port pass through with Mediaplayer ports from source to destination. While *testing* turn off all your firewalls and virus scanners, *MAKE SURE* to turn them back on after testing. See what happens after you do this.

I uses Tversity for a media server and it works great!

Answer 2

Check in services that the UPnP Device Host service is started and set the start up type to automatic
