Serviio

Hello,
it happens that if media server service starts before I turn the router on, I have to restart manually the service to make my tv to see serviio.

Is it possible to implement a periodic connection-retry in similar situations?

thanks

That looks like a weird way to do things Serviio requires an IP address to run, not sure what happens if the router hasn't assigned any. Doubt I'll be implementing anything to make it work this way.

The context is not so weird imho and I think many users may have this problem.
I'll explain more in detail (and I don't want to be critic about serviio since I think the product is very good).

Since I don't use very often internet at home, when my pc is turned off, also router is turned off.
When I need to use pc, I turn on both.

It's not obvious which one will boot-up fist. If pc is faster, i'll have a serviio service not working. Of course restarting the service (after ip addr was assigned) solves the problem, but if I use pc like a NAS (no keyb, no mouse, unconfortable position, etc) that makes restarting the service manually hard.

Keeping router always on and/or delaying pc start would solve the problem, but this is not always the case.

I think that a good portion of people that use this kind of software don't have a lot of knowledge about DLNA/services/ip etc and needs a short time to result.

thanks.

I'm seeing the same symptom on my system (Windows 7 64bit). Service starts up normally and all appears well, however it is not visible on the network until I shut down serviio and restart the service. In my case the router does stay on - however the application might be starting up prior to the machine being allocated an IP. Either way, I'd love to make this work right off the dot. I'll experiment with a delayed startup service rather than automatic and see if that makes any difference.
