Panasonic 46ST30E - no media server menu

Post by paulgsm » Fri Oct 21, 2011 12:52 pm

Hi

I've a Panasonic 46ST30E Plasma (DLNA) and there is no Media Server menu when I press Viera Tools button on my remote control. Tv is connected to internet by router, internet is working on tv. I install TwonkyServer 6.0.37 on a laptop and TwonkyServer finds Panasonic tv !!!! but Panasonic doesn't ''see'' any content shared from TwonkyServer.
I couldn't find any options in tv menu to activate media server. When I press Viera Tools button I shoul see next to image/video/ Viera....and another ... icon a 5th icon called Media Server but there is no any icon.
Does my tv require any setup prior to recognize media server ?

Make sure that Multicast is enabled on your router and your software firewall is not blocking Twonky.

Thank you sir for your answer.

I made a little research and I understand that Panasonic didn't enable DLNA on 46ST30E model !

I look for such an option (Multicast) in router administration and I couldn't find it.

If they didn't enable DLNA on this model, that could be a cause for this problem.
