TV lost the dlna server

[Sergii]

Hi,

Model: 32PFL7606T/12. Firmware version: 014.095.000.

Using several DLNA servers (minidlna, upnp), I had found the following issue:
streaming a movie is ok at first, but about 5/15 min the TV lost DLNA server, Net TV still work fine. Other TV (Sony KDL-37W5500) streaming the movie fine all time.
I try both wired and wireless connections, no different.

Someone an idea what is causing this trouble, or having similar issues (and solutions, hopefully)???

Thanks

Hi Thomas

the network structure is simple: one wireless router DIR-815 (dlink) and NAS DNS-325 (dlink). The router has DHCP server. NAS has DLNA server which call "minidlna", version 1.0.22.
To the router are connected: NAS (wire), Sony TV (wire), Philips TV (I try both type of connection wire and wireless).

Hi,

I have the same issue with 42PDL7906K/02 (Firmware-Version Q5551-0.14.95.0) via WLAN using FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270 v2 (Firmware-Version 54.05.05) with usb-attached harddrive with mediadata. The TV is connected to cable "Kabel Deutschland" with analogue and digital (DVB-C) TV-channels.
After ca. 20 minutes the TV freeses the movie and stops DLNA-streaming. Now the TV-menu states, that no DLNA-server is available.
Shooting down and complete removing the power helps to reestablish a DLNA-connection.
(But the normal menu is too uncomfortable to move to the last break, I miss typing search-time or similar for starting from last break.)

Additionally I found that the PC-screen-streaming with WiFi Mediaconnect is also stopped by the TV after round about 20 minutes.

Additional note:
I just used my TV's capabilities (red button on remote control) to open the interactive "ARTE LIVE WEB" of the digital "arte" channel.
I choosed a TV-film and started viewing. Like in former cases the streaming of the TV-film is stopped after about 20 minutes. And after that the TV states, that no network is connected.

Hi

please both test what happens with direct connections between DLNA Server and TV, no Router/Switch whatever in between.

Thanks

Hi Thomas,

as you requested I tried to stream (DLNA) from my netbook via cable directly to TV.
It worked fine for an entire movie (1.5 hours) without any break down.

But I've not tried to connect my TV via cable to the router's mediaserver, which is connected to the internet. (They are in different rooms.)
But this should be checked as well. Maybe a connectivity issue or a special request/response pair to the internet/philips during streaming leads to a network break down on TV side - with cable and with wifi.

I have something very similar.

Both my 42PDL7906T/12 and the Philips HTS i got with it drop connection with the DLNA server periodically, this can be during both video and audio playback.

Its not directly linked to the DLNA server either, they loose visibility to another couple of devices also, and it takes a reboot of the 4 port hub to which they are both connected to restore visibility to my media servers.

I've tried multiple switches and network configurations, but nothing is staying stable with the wired connection, I have not tested the wireless connection yet.

Next time it drops the server I'll try just disconnecting the LAN cable and re-attaching to see if that also clears it up, if so its looking more and more likely its an issue with the wired connection hardware or software stack in both the 42PDL7906T/12 and the HTS, its VERY frustrating on what is otherwise an excellent product.

I have a similar bugg

Hi all,

i have made the very same observation.
TV is connected to a Vodafone Easybox 803 via powerline ethernet adapters.
Connection to Synology NAS / Mediaserver is working with Coolstream HD receiver using the same connection.
PS3 is connected wireless to the Easybox-streaming working as well.
Philips TV gets connection to the Network / Internet.
Only when losing Philips TV connection to Network gets lost after aproximately 20 min of streaming a clip from the NAS.
I assigned fixed IP.
I am using firmware ver. 000.014.093.000
Any ideas?
Cheers, Jost

Hi all,

can you please test a direct connection to PC either via Wifi or Cable with no Router in between.
Please post the outcome in here.

Thanks
Thomas

FYI, The only test I can do for testing the connection issue is:
via cable from the router to TV and cable from PC to router, otherwise I can't test it since I won't have any connection to PC????
I will update once I will do the test.

Did some test with cable, NO Luck.
PC brows not recognize the network to PC. Uninstall windows media 11 and reinstall back, reconfigure folder sharing, did reset to all networks apps and reconfigure wired network, still the same problem.

Hi all,

since some days DLNA and other movie streaming is working fine with my TV. Currently I have no problem with TV loosing the network. (Setup described in former postings.)
Don't know why.

Do you have same experience with your normal setup?
