Mezzmo doesn't listed as source on TVs

[stefanos]

Since some days, I need to restart the mezzmo process because is not listed on the tv as a source. I have many TVs on the same network but on everyone mezzmo is not listed.
If I look at Mezzmo everything looks good, if I stop the process and then I restart it the Mezzmo server is listed again on every TVs. Few ours later is not listed again.

Hi,
This is usually a firewall problem where Mezzmo is not able to receive M-Search messages on port 1900 from devices. Please make sure MezzmoMediaServer.exe is allowed to communicate through the firewall on port 1900, if you are using Windows Firewall go to 'Media Server Settings' and click the button to configure the firewall if it is enabled.

Hi stefanos,

I saw this behaviour a few months ago and tracked it down to a setting in the Media Devices page. I had unticked "Allow all new devices to connect to Mezzmo" thinking I'd be a little more secure. However, as all of my devices were on my home network at the time, I didn't need this and re-ticked it - then everything started working as expected again.

I hope that helps.

Frantic.
