Can't "see" MM DLNA Service

Post by MaFt »

When MM is open I can use DLNA just fine on my Xbox.

However, when MM is closed I just can't "see" it as a server in the Xbox. The service is running when I open up task manager.

Are there any ways to troubleshoot this?! Or any steps I can try to work through it?

Thanks in advance

Is the service installed as the same user as MediaMonkey itself? Have you tried to temporarily disable the firewall on your PC to see if it is blocking.

It's windows 8 so that uses my email address for the login. However when I install the service it uses the account called 'MaFt'. My email address is the only account on the PC so not sure if MMW shows the first name of my user account (which is MaFt) or if it is saying the account is called MaFt.

When I launch MMW I always have to grant admin permissions via UAC - which is annoying but possibly related?!

I fixed the UAC issue and uninstalled then reinstalled the service.

In Task Manager I also made sure it was using the main logon account.

This seems to be working now.

Thanks for the tips :)
