UMS not seen permanently on Panasonic devices

[Username]

Hi,
I've two Panasonic devices on my network (a TX-P50VT50E TV and a DMP-BDT320 BluRay Player).

When I enter the DLNA menu on either device and then start up the UMS, I see it immediately, can access it, everything is working.

When I leave the DLNA menu and enter it again, I see the UMS for a split second in the server selection and then it is gone.

Or: when I start UMS and then enter the DLNA menu, I see the server for a split second and then it's gone.

In other words: the only way for me to access UMS is to be already in the DLNA menu and start the server.

Of course always starting/stopping the server is not an option but I'm wonder if anyone else has similar problems?

When I e.g. use my W7 PC as DLNA server, it works flawlessly on my TV/BluRay-Player.

UMS is running on headless on Debian Squeeze with jdk 1.7.0u9, mplayer is installed too.

Thanks for any help

Hi Username, please post the debug.log after reproducing this

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I just reproduced it. As seen from the log, two DLNA devices (is that the proper term?) were running on my network: the Panasonic TV and my W7 PC.

What I did to reproduce my problem:

• Started TV, went into Media Server, saw my already running W7 PC
• Started UMS, appeared after a few seconds on the DLNA server list on my TV
• Left DLNA Server menu on my TV
• Entered again: saw UMS for the split of seconds, then it disappeared. W7 PC was/is still present
• Hit CTRL-c to stop UMS (that was around 22:13:48.467 )

Code: Select all

I've observed another thing: whenever I wait long enogh in my DLNA server browser menu on my TV, after some waiting the UMS pops ups; and coincidentally it matches the following message in the debug.log

Code: Select all

DEBUG 2012-11-19 18:11:10.765 [UPNP-AliveMessageSender] Sending ALIVE...
DEBUG 2012-11-19 18:14:14.874 [UPNP-AliveMessageSender] Sending ALIVE...

Given the message I don't consider this a big surprise

I left the DLNA server browser on my TV right after the event at 18:11:10 and entered it again. It popped up once UMS sent another ALIVE message. What I'm seeing makes absolute sense to me.

However, I don't understand why my TV would delist/remove UMS when I leave/reenter the menu.

Or: when UMS is already running, I turn on my TV and go to the DLNA server browser. After a few seconds my windows machine shows up. UMS starts to appear when it sense the ALIVE message.

I don't know the technial details about all this network stuff going on, but is possible that the TV sends out a broadcast to find all devices and only the windows machine responds (or is the only one receiving the broadcast)?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Have you found any solution for it?
Thanks in advance.

No, I didn't/couldn't pursue it. App/config all is still there but unused. I still use my Windows machine as a DLNA server (means need to turn it on every time since it's my desktop machien).
