Mezzmo for Roku doesn't see Mezzmo Server 5.1

[Peter]

We have updated the beta channel with some changes, please go to settings > system > system update on your roku and select to check for updates to update the channel. Please let us know if this update allows you to find your Mezzmo server in the app.

I updated to version 1.4, build 2. The app again did not find the server. Also, following up on a possible cause you mentioned in your initial reply to me (another device sending some xml causing a crash), I shut down my WHS2011 machine which has its own DLNA server and is set up as an iTunes server. With the WHS off the network, the app still didn't find the Mezzmo server.

I just bought a sharp TV with ROKU built in and I am seeing the same result. I have also tried the Beta version and the same result. Worth noting is that the TV IP address is not showing in the media devices section of Mezzmo software.

Does the app remain stuck at the "Loading..." still when using the Beta or does it complete and just show no servers found?

Peter, the loading message and the spinning circle have continued indefinitely. The longest I've let it continue before exiting to the main screen is about 10 minutes. In no instance (based on at least 10 attempts) has the discovery process completed. The two betas and the production app have all behaved identically as best I can tell. BTW, I'm away from home skiing this week so it'll be next weekend before I can test out anything new. I'll test out any ideas you come up with and post here once I get back home.

The loading message and the spinning circle should stop after about 60 seconds, since it is continuing indefinitely this indicates an error is still occurring causing the app to get stuck. We will do some investigation to see if we can find any weak points in the code where the crash might be occurring and add some protection. You can try turning off any other devices that use UPnP or stopping other programs or servers on your PC that use UPnP to see if the problem still occurs.

We have just uploaded an update of the Mezzmo Roku Beta with some changes:

- Added a setting to turn on/off continuous play of videos (it is off by default)
- Added support for manually adding a server using the ip address. You can use this to add your Mezzmo server to stream over the Internet to a Roku in another location.

We also fixed a problem where if the URL to the server returned no data or invalid data it would crash the app and leave it on the 'loading...' page.

You can update the existing beta to the new version by going to settings on the Roku then System then System Update and selecting Check Now.

Exactly same issue here: I have TWO Roku devices: On one (Roku TV), it suddenly started working after a couple of days and is working flawless since (for now around 4 months). The second (Roku 4 Premier), is still unable to find the Mezzmo server.
BTW: I'm using Mezzmo Pro Version 5.1.1.0 on Win 10 in console mode, since unable to run Mezzmo Server as Service (issue logged in other thread).
