UMS sees our Smart TV but that only has wireless networking
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2018 2:47 am
If it matters, our UMS is v6.8.0, on Win7x64 Home Premium. The NIC is an Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
We recently upgraded the TV to current technology, which includes wireless networking. Our computer is CAT-5ed to our router, which has ethernet to the PS3 which is HDMAed to the TV. In UMS>General Config>Advanced HTTP and system settings>Enabled Renderers I have unchecked everything except the PS3, but that setting seems to be not yet fully documented; and in >>Network settings (advanced) I have specified the IP for the PS3.
The info log shows:
I would have thought that there is no way UMS can see the TV. However, when faced with the evidence, one of three things is happening:
Either our NIC has wireless capability, which is disturbing;
Or UMS is interrogating the router, which is disturbing;
Or UMS can see the TV through the HDMA from the PS3. Which is remarkably clever.
Unfortunately, Qualcomm does not publish proper datasheets for the NIC, and I cannot find any other info on the NIC's capabilities.
I would like for UMS to not see the TV, or (better) that the TV be invisible to the computer NIC. Does anybody have any clues (and no, we're NOT ditching the TV ) ?
