Hi,
I installed Windows XP Service Pack 3, Norton Antivirus 2010, a list of client devices is empty only if I blocked the server in Windows Firewall. Perhaps there are other programs that monitor network operation.

Firstly thank you for your great piece of software, you put Microsofts WMP12 implementation of dlna to shame.

I got this working brilliantly on Vista but idealy I'd like it to work on a 64bit Windows 7 and have a similar problem to gregj_2007.

It seems I maybe spoke to soon, although these are minor. Some changes I make in the settings do not seem to be taking effect, like the active pad colour and general transcoding settings. My machine is not powerful enough to transcode all movies to 1080p so I tried to change the default to Bravia 1280x720. When I go to 'Test Transcoding' it seems to be at the original 1980x1080. When I manually set the films profile it picks it up okay.

On another note I've read that Windows 7 can offload transcoding processing to a GPU is this true and would it help my WMS to have more than it's onboard chip? Perhaps I should just reinstall XP.
