I have been using Roku Media Player (RMP) on my 4 Roku streaming sticks for years. Occasionally the App will be unable to see the media server (Serviio v 2.4). Rebooting the Roku stick or the server is required to remedy the situation.
DLNA servers periodically announce their presence on the network so that clients like RMP can locate them and connect. I found that if I configure my server to shorten the announcement duration from the default 3 minutes to 15 seconds, the problem goes away.
15 seconds is a very short announcement period, and the periodic announcements are not the sole means for a client like RMP to find a server. Clients can also request that servers announce their presence. It appears RMP is either not using this method or it is not working reliably.
I presume this is a bug that hopefully can be addressed in future releases of RMP- Hopefully soon!
This issue occurred with all my 3810x streaming sticks, so I see no need to provide serial numbers or device IDs.
They are running software version 14.5
The RMP version is 5.5 build 13 (the latest)
If you really need a tracker ID, I can reset the server to it's default broadcast and wait for next time.
