    Not Finding Things

    I had this setup previously and I could play music and control almost my entire system.

    At some point, I had stopped using the plugin and now I'm starting over with a renewed interest. Now the plug-in only finds a small PC that runs HS3 but not the desktop with all the music. It doesn't find the Sony DVD player or the DirecTV receiver or the television for example. I deleted the ini file and tried starting over but no joy.

    I think the most important thing is finding the PC that would be the music server. The plugin found my Onkyo but even the Onkyo is asking for a server selection.

    There are soooo many things that could cause this. Where should I start poking around?

    Check firewall that this MediaController.exe (not just HS3) has full allowance.

    Any change to your network? Routers, wireless, Wireless WIFI?

    Errors in log?

      There was no firewall setup, however I did install a new router and two devices hadn't been connected.

      However, it still can't find the PC with all the music on it. Nothing has changed on this PC except whatever windows updates took place. I'll keep poking around.

        Yup, windows firewall was the issue. Thanks for making me think a bit.
