DLNA issue with Samsung Television(s)

[dannymez 0]

Okay this one has me a little stumped- Both of these televisions could see the regular (out of the box) DLNA that came with the NAS

 

But with Emby as DLNA server only one is working properly

 

I am not a DLNA expert so let me say that at the outset

 

The first output below is where the television is able to see the NAS as a Media Server (working)

 

I noticed it is using UPnP and doing both GET and POST between the devices

With the second television it says the session is created but I noticed it is not using UPnP (not working)- does that indicate some sort of problem?

 

I also noticed it is doing the HTTP GET but there are not any corresponding POST entries

Hi, yes this is always tricky, but the repeat requests to description.xml are generally an indication that the TV didn't like something in our response. Either in the description response or the contentdirectory response. One of those two.

 

Can you get the responses from the built-in nas server to compare?
