Hi all,

I managed to make SlimServer work (again). Even with the firewall active and in "custom" mode (meaning the ROKU is configured as "allowed").

However, when I want to look at my digipics online, it won't find the Windows Media Connect Server. Some days ago this still worked fine; however only after the first install of the WMC. Since then, no success.

Anybody has an idea of how to make this tool share my (two) folders with all the pictures in it with RoKU? I would really love to look at our wedding pictures on the new LCD through the ROKU!

Thanks a lot for all your help!

Multiple people have sen this. It is an interaction issue between WMC and Slinservers UpNP interfaces. Endless has said that he tried turning off UpNP in Slimserver and problem still existed.

Can you turn off WMC and instead invoke a standard Windows share of your pictures folder and see if that works?

Actually, in that case it's SlimServer that shuts down and WMC continues to run. I've never heard of it the other way around...

Your not sharing an internet connection via your PC this running WMC are you?
For example, having a BT(Bluetooth) PAN (Personal Area Network)setup and using your PDA to access the internet.
I had an issue with that with my SB and WMC and it was the "Sahre internet connection via PC" that casued it.
Just thinking outloud...

Hi all,

SlimServer has been installed before WMC got installed. then at first everything worked fine, I was listening to music through SlimRoku while watching pictures which were shared through WMC.

Now, a couple of days later (and some restarts of the PC) this doesn't work no more.

SlimServer however works fine, I can listen to all my music which is shared on the PC. But it won't show the WMC shared drives anylonger.

Hi all,

---> Solution to the problem found!

I have simply un-installed the firewall and then re-installed. it worked.

good luck all!
