Hello,
After a little debugging I've determined that the firewall on my WHS 2011 machine, which also hosts MM, is getting in the way of my Onkyo TX-8050 successfully retrieving media from the MM DLNA server. Simple experiment -- disable the "local network" firewall and MM shows through, everything works "hunki dori" -- enable the firewall and "no worki."
I prefer to keep the firewall enabled, even for the local network, so I "enabled" access for mediamonkey.exe, mediamonkey (non-skinned).exe, etc. Every single EXE in the MediaMonkey program files directory. Doesn't work... The Onkyo receiver sees the MM DLNA server but can't seem to connect with it. (Aside: if these apps are not enabled in the firewall the receiver doesn't even see the MM DLNA server.)
Are there some other MM apps that need to be enabled thru the firewall? Which applications are actually needed to support streaming?
Regards,
Paul Fischer
p.s. Is there a MM service that can be run in the background so I don't have to have a user logged onto the server and have the main MM application running? A reduced version of MM that works in a read-only mode for serving up, that I can point to the same database as the main MM program?
