Unable to see Humax HDR1000s on network
I'm trying to stream video from my Vista PC to my Humax HDR1000s but am having no luck.
I can see the PVR on the routers "network" page and it connects to the internet (youtube, iPlayer etc perfectly fine) but in the media sharing section on the PC I can only see my WDtv Live and the Xbox and laptop. Is there some setting that I have missed? I've been at this for hours and it's driving me nuts!!!! I am still using my WDtvlive to stream but I was looking for a single box solution as the Humax is meant to be DLNA compliant. I have tried/am trying WMP and Twonky and have rebooted both the PC and the PVR but still no joy. ![]() Thanks, |

The reason why you cannot see the HDR-1000S on your network is that it has no shared resources.
The HDR-1000S is a DLNA client but currently, at least, is not a DLNA server. There were plans to add a DLNA secure server, hopefully this is still the intention. |

I have a shared folder with videos in it as my WDtvlive access it.
I have Twonky running and have that folder listed as the source. I'm thinking the problem may be related to the fact that the Humax doesn't show up with the Xbox and WDtvlive???? |

You need to pull content to the HDR-1000S using the HDR-1000S user interface.
Home > HUMAX > (OK) Media Share. It will find DLNA servers. Select what you want from that listed. |

Thanks for the replies,
When I navigate to Media Share on the Humax it just says "No Items" When I start Twonky I can hear the HDD plugged into the WDtv Live power up so I guess the Twonky server is doing something but still nothing on the Humax. Any ideas as to why the PVR is not showing up on the PC (Xbox and WD and laptop do)???? Thanks |

A Foxsat-hdr, A HDR FOX T2 and my laptop all show up OK. |

I've tried it with WMP 11 as well. Isn't that a server?
Also tried Serviio and Plex ?? |

So either the DLNA servers are incorrectly configured or the Humax is. Can the WDTV Live box see the media shares on the computer? If it can't then that suggests a problem with the set up of the computer. If it can and can stream media OK from the computer then that suggests a problem with the Humax. |

In media share on the PVR I can see my laptop even though I have done nothing on it to try to get it to connect????
I have pinged the Humax ip address and got 4 packets sent and 4 received with a return time of 1mS I'm guessing that's right

Check in the control panel (Network and sharing centre - Advanced settings) that media sharing is on and the options allow the device.
Next, verify the folder that contains the files had been added to WMP's video library and lastly that the content is something that a DLNA client can understand like MPEG-2 (.MPG). Lastly ensure any firewall software allows access to the local LAN.. |

Thanks for the helps,
Streaming works fine from a Win8 laptop. Guess I#ll stick to the WDTV live for now. |
