mezzmo, sleep mode and sony BP DLNA players
I have two sony blue ray players: BDP S370 and BDP S470, which I chose for the DLNA support. I have a new Windows 7 ultimate PC with Quad processor, 8GB ram and a single NIC which I installed the mezzmo trial on (latest version at this writing). When the PC goes into sleep mode I can wake the machine up from the sony BDPs but I get a new instance of the mezzmo icon in the list of servers on the sony BDPs. this continues until I have more than a dozen instances of the mezzmo server, all on the same MAC address at which point I cannot get any more new instances of the server on the sony BDPs and can no longer access content on these devices. the only fix I know of is to change the name of the server and restart it, at which point the cycle starts over again. other devices on my network (Windows media players and an android table) do not experience this issue to the same extent, but they do reach a point where they I can no longer connect them to the server until I change the server name and restart, perhaps because the number of clients has been exhausted (?).
tech note: The mezzmo server gets a static IP address from my router but the PC itself is set for dynamic IP allocation.
If i turn off sleep mode then the problem goes away since the server is always up, but I would prefer the media server goes to sleep if idle for a while.
Please advise of any fix to this issue. I am on the trial version, like mezzmo otherwise but I hesitate to buy it with this issue.
Thanks,
Shekster.
