No Handshake WDTV Gen 3 Units & UMS
Posted: Sat Oct 12, 2019 12:11 pm
I have two WDTV Live Gen 3 units attached to CAT-5 LAN. There is a Win10 Pro Ver 1903 (OS Build 18362.418) successfully running Windows Media Streaming but with far less control than UMS avails. There is always connectivity between the two WDTV units and the PC used solely for Video and Music. If I disable the Media Streaming and then go back into the WDTV menu under Media Share I may see the UMS whatever the release but most of the time it does not appear only a RED X. So, is anyone even using the WDTV units anymore as they are aged. What is it within Windows Media Streaming that enable the DLNA protocol to always connect with the WDTV units but the DLNA handshake of the UMS software will not? I am open to any suggestions other than take a long walk off a short pier. Thanks in advance!
