Wild media server (UPnP, DLNA, HTTP)

Mine does the same i.e. I have to open a channel on the sopcast player before I can see it on my TV. But I have a problem if I try to 'test the transcoder' in that WMS fails and then closes. It does this whether or not I've opened Sopcast first. It also does this if I try to change channels on the TV without first starting Sopcast. Once Ive started Sopcast then changing channels on the TV has no effect & I get the same video whichever channel I choose.
