Has anyone gotten DLNA to work properly with Windows 7 x64 ?

Has anyone gotten DLNA to work properly on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows Media Player 12? I got it working, sort of. It's not reliable though, and very slow. It drops the connection a lot, and when I go to engage it it connects about half of the time and half of the time it won't see the Media Server. It also times out when trying to scan my (admittedly large) music directory on my PC.
I'm sure that my hardware is ok, I think that DLNA is just a buggy system. But if anyone has it working properly with Windows 7 x64 and WMP 12 can you tell me exactly how you set it up?  And if you used another desktop app besides WMP can you tell me what worked for you?
Thanks!

Try setting it up like this.  Hope this helps!

  • [solved]Catalyst + xorg 1.6 = Has anyone gotten it to work?

    After going over the wiki for ATI and installing the catalyst+catalyst utils (9.4) from AUR using yaourt, the device refused to load. Now, I don't have the error on file as I'm not at home. But the question remains: Has anyone gotten this to work?
    (*) 4870 HD Radeon card
    (*) 9.4 driver + utils from yaurt/AUR (I didn't.. see official 9.4 drivers anyone on the ATI website, how did we get them?)
    (*) no xorg.conf used, just startx to automatically detect hardware. And it worked, attempting to use the catalyst-based driver, but only with red bars and blocks on top of the screen
    (*) xf86-video-ati and radeonhd both work fine, but obviously the 3d support isn't so hot, and I'm a huge gamer
    (*) latest xorg release from pacman -Syu
    (*) Yes, I know official support has ceased
    Thoughts? Shared ideas? What are we waiting for, ATI's new drivers or a patched fix? Got this working, anyone?
    edit: Yes, I've searched the forums. But there's too much scattered information and not enough to really focus on what seems to be the problem and how to resolve it

  • Make Skype work properly with Windows DPI scaling for high resolution displays

    Hello, As of now, Skype does not work well with Windows DPI scaling. Everything looks fuzzy (fonts, icons, etc).Microsoft's recommendation is to turn off the DPI scaling ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2900023 ) but in this case, the text is too tiny to be read. Basically everyone with a high resolution display is stuck with either tiny of fuzzy fonts, making Skype unusable. It's really a pity because other Microsoft programs such as Office work perfectly with Windows DPI scaling, and Skype also looks great on Mac with Retina display. With high DPI displays becoming more and more common, this is a must have feature. Thanks for reading!

  • Premiere CS4 doesn't work properly with Windows 7 trial - Please help!

    Hello!
    I have installed the trial version of Windows 7 on my laptop and now my Premiere CS4 doesn't play the timeline in real time anymore. It worked fine with Windows Vista. I have also installed the newest Premiere update, but it didn't help. Is there a patch for Windows 7 (64bit) or will I have to wait until the full version comes out and try it again then?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Rafiki

    It's a laptop and probably an older one, that means it is probably underpowered.
    It's a laptop and that probably means it is a single 5400 rpm disk which is inadequate.
    Bill,
    Probably good observations. I tend to loose sight of the fact that most laptops are not like mine and forget the common limitations. One mentions "laptop," and I see my Sager - duh! on me.
    To the OP, this ARTICLE might also offer some tips on getting your computer ready for an NLE session. Common references are to how things are done in XP-Pro (my OS), but you should be able to "read between the lines," and adapt the general concepts to Win7 and your setup.
    Also, giving full specs. on your laptop might help greatly, otherwise we're all just guessing. Bill brings up a couple of critical points. Your details will either point to them, or dismiss them.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • I cannot get my Palm Vx to work properly with Windows XP; especially the HotSync.

    I have tried everything I can think of. I even went through the online chat assistance, and uninstalled Palm and then reinstalled a clean version. It worked a couple of times, but would not load any of my data, and now all my data is gone, my Palm still does not hotSync, and is essentially a very expensive paperweight. Why can't Microsoft and Palm get this right? I was so attached to my Palm for all these years that I bought them for family. Now, I have lost mine and all my data. Has anyone figured out how to get a Palm Vx to work with Windows XP and a new computer with USB ports?

    Post relates to: Palm Vx

    When you say the data is gone, is it gone from Palm Desktop and the device?
    Did you do a successful hotsync after the reinstall and before the data loss?

  • Z580 touchpad not working properly with windows 8

    Bought a z580 laptop recently and upgraded to windows 8.  The vertical and horizontal scrolling features don't work with it anymore. There is also no zooming and rotating feature anymore.  I downloaded the windows 8 driver from the lenovo website, but it says that I need the 64bit driver for my laptop.  According to the lenovo download it was for both 32 and 64bit.  How can I get the touchpad functions back?

    I just purchased the 'new' Z580 with Windows 8. Lovely laptop, nightmare experience trying to get the touchpad working! After trying a few fixes, I tried to call Lenovo directly, after going through about 10 phone numbers, I finally reached Lenovo IdeaPad technical support, who told me they had no knowledge of this issue, that it must be a hardware fault (of which I was convinced it wasn't) and asked to send the machine back for a replacement. In other words, Lenovo could not be bothered to help me fix the problem, rather pass it off to the retailer to deal with. Very poor service Lenovo, and very lazy. Anyway, I managed to get the touchpad working perfectly using the solution here (thanks!), so just wanted to advise people to ignore Lenovo and follow the steps here before sending back the 'faulty'' laptop... - Plugin in an external mouse (guessing you have done this already as the touchpad doesn;t work!)- Close down all your apps- Uninstall all Lenovo mouse and Synaptics drivers (via Control Panel)
    - Go to device manager (search 'device manager' in settings using bottom-right corner action)- Right-click on 'USB HID drivers' and choose 'uninstall' - the mouse will stop working (which is fine)- Press ALT-F4 to close device manager and again to restart the laptop- The default mouse driver will install automatically - which is fine- Double-click the download here from Lenovo China (www.lenovo.com.cn) and click the left icon (will appear with ??? as it is Chinese) to unzip the file - a new folder will appear with the drivers in it- Go into the Synaptics folder and run set-up to install the Synaptics touchpad driver- Restart again and now the touchpad should be working perfectly! Good luck... 

  • Zen Vision:m 30gb doesn't work properly with Windows 7 64bit

    I recently upgraded my pc from an old xp machine to a new one running windows 7 ultimate. Creative says their media player software that originally shipped with the zen does not support windows 7, so i should use windows media player (the version that ships with windows 7; i cannot find a help dialog box with the version number). Creative also says that the zen vision:m uses only microsoft MTP drivers, so I don't need to upgrade any drivers and it should be compatible. However, although the zen vision:m connects fine and I can see the mp3 files on the zen HDD, I cannot play them in the main windows media player screen. I can only double click on files and play them in the small windows media player window without any controls. Of course, I can't import any of the zen mp3 files into the music library in windows media player or set up any playlists. I checked every menu item and dialog box that i can think of on my zen and in windows 7, but nothing appears to be relevant to this problem. Any ideas, other than buying a brand new mp3 player? TIA

    When you connect it & open it WMP click on the SYNC tab of the program. Choose the files you want to sync to the computer then hit SYNC . The files should transfer to the computer. (check your settings as to where you want the files to go.)

  • Has anyone gotten Run_Report_Object to work in R12?

    We're trying to bypass the concurrent manager and launch reports directly from custom forms in order to dynamically validate report parameters. From what I've seen on this forum and elsewhere, the reports server was removed in R12. Does anyone know of a way to launch a report directly from a form in R12? We're running Oracle HRMS R12 on Solaris 10 with a 10.2.0.4 DB.

    If you are attempting to connect your home computer via 3g or outside network, you will need to get another external ip address and do 3 ports forwarding on router as this link described:

  • Prime NCS floor calibration issues... Has anyone gotten it to work?

    I am trying to use NCS floor calibration and collecting data points using my laptop. I am having a problem where over 100% of the time it says "No data points collected starting from location (x,y)"  Laptop has Intel 6300 in it.
    After spending an hour or two trying to get it to work, I tried another machine.  This next machine has an Intel 5300.Neither machine will work with floor calibration.  Both machines are on our wireless network and can browse the internet.
    Can someone please tell me why this is? or if I'm doing something wrong? Or if this is normal?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Openkore: Has anyone gotten this to work yet?

    I've been working with this package on and off for the last month or so and have not yet been able to successfully connect to a private server for Ragnarok Online.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to connect or where I'm limited to connect to if that's the case.  I just wanna play and can't seem to get beyond the initial configuration.  I have to reboot, but I'll edit this post with actual error messages and/or log files as soon as I come back.  Just wanted to get the thread started since I keep forgetting to do so.

  • Has anyone got Airport Disk working from a Windows PC?

    The title says it all really!
    Just wondered if I'm the only one having trouble with the new Airport extreme..
    Alex

    Hello everybody.
    I have no problems accessing USB disks on my AEBS from any Windows computer, but I have the same problem as ashealey.
    I have connected my new HFS+ preformatted LaCie 500GB minihub (designed to be stacked under a MacMini- but also looks ok under the Airport) to my also new Airport Extreme (802.11n). After connecting the disk, the disk appears with a nice picture on my MacBook. And I have no problems accessing the disk from Windows - both wireless and wired.
    I have copied lots of data, incl. backup (> 16GB) from my MacBook to the Airport connected LaCie disk witout any problems.
    From Windows I can create directories, and read/write files. And I can copy large amounts (>16GB) from the Airport disk to my Windows computers. But when I try, as you, to copy large data quantities from Windows to my Airport disk, my Airport Extreme and/or LaCie harddisk crashes as you describe. It is not enough to re-start the Airport. I also have to re-start the LaCie disk (I unplug both devices, and re-power them). I only ran one copy at a time, so it has nothing to do with simultainousl access.
    Hope the cause of this problem can be found soon. I guess the problem is in the Airport Extreme.
    I cannot understand, why Apple have released this Airport Extreme without having tried this simple test: Copy more than 20MB from a Windows PC to the Airdisk. I think Apple is loosing some of its fans, if the problem is not solved very fast. One of the reasons I selected the Airport Extreme, instead of using my current TopCom wireless router was the Airdisk possibility. This is more flexible than buying a seperate LAN disk. But if it doesn't work, what's the point?

  • QuickTime 7 works properly with Windows 8?

    In the product documentation does not say anything about it

    No idea actually, but if Windows has as long a backwards compatibility at they're famed for, this *should* work just fine.

    You can try and see. If it isn't compatible I imagine it will let you know at installation.

    I'm having the same problem. Does anyone out there have a
    solution?
    I am running RedHat Linux 6.0 straight out of the box. The only
    change I made was to set the kernel parameters according to the
    release notes and recompile the kernel.
    P.S. Oracle deserves our thanks for providing free developer
    licenses to so many of its products, but this is the buggiest
    install I've ever seen in my 12 years of working with their
    products. Didn't anyone from Oracle test the install? This
    problem and the zero length libnjni8.so file are the real
    doozies.
    I've followed the release notes and installation guide to the
    letter and have found several documentation / distribution bugs
    that should have leapt out at the first person who tried it.

  • Has Anyone Gotten Screen Sharing To Work Religiously?

    Since its inception, I've been so excited about this for helping family members and its hit and miss for me - always has been, no matter how I configure things. In fact 99% of the time it just doesn't work. Has anyone gotten it to work all the time with everyone they try it with?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I can.
    It needs UPnP to be used to open ports rather than Port Forwarding as it uses a random port to do the Screen Sharing.
    This Article tells you the ports for iChat for the AV chats (In Tiger) and the Bonjour and Jabber ports.
    This one tells you the AV ports in ichat 4 (What it does not do is remind you you need the Jabber and Bonjour ports)
    The Second one says nothing about the Screen Sharing port.
    Those of us that have tested using Little Snitch that tells you IPs and Ports says it is random.
    I helped someone today (About 30 mins ago) who was using a 2wire device.
    It did not have any Port Forwarding set, nor could I see any UPnP in the settings
    (I could Share his screen from My end by he could not share mine)
    We found on looking through his router settings that it had a Stealth and Ping block enabled
    We disabled the Ping Block and he was able to Share my Screen.
    On the basis he was having successful Video chats (USA to Holland and to me in England) these setting change seemed to smallest we should try.
    Ideally I would say use UPnP in the devices at either and and disable Features such as Ping Blocking, DoS (Denial of Service) and SPI (Stateful Packet inspection).

  • Has anyone gotten the automatic upload to YouTube to actually work?

    I've read about a lot of people who have had trouble getting Compressor's "Publish to YouTube" to work properly, but no stories of anyone actually getting it to do it. Has anyone gotten it to work? And if so, how?

    I have tried to get all of FCP's new social networking uploads to work, and they don't here. I just export the file, and use the Utube uploader. I don't think any of the sharing in FCS is ready for primetime:)
