Emby as a dlna server

[r5yk5]

I think this has been asked before both on the Emby forum and here. Wiim home app shows Emby dlna server as empty most of the time. Occasionally it will show some content, and then it might even let you play something if you're lucky, but most of the time it's empty.

The problem is as far as Wiim is concerned every other dlna server (minim, asset, even plex) works so it must be emby. And emby works everywhere else (bubbleupnp, lms remote media, vlc etc) so it must be wiim. And I don't know which one it is or even how to troubleshoot it.

Is anyone able to point in my in the right direction because I would like this to work? Thanks.

I've always run Emby server with a fixed IP address served by DHCP from the router. But if it was on a laptop or something else that regulary changes IP address, it's easy to see that clients (like the WiiM devices) could have difficulty connecting if they're getting an old IP address.

The WiiM Home app uses SSDP for discovery not Emby Connect.

Of course...Emby Connect is for Emby clients to connect. Thanks for bringing me back onto the track
