This is not a new issue and I have researched it extensively. Relatively new 55" onn. w/ Roku built in and all software updated. Wifi sees it as TCLRokuTV-3JA. I have permanently assigned it an ip address and confirmed this address thru Roku and the router.
I have a raspberry pi 3 using miniDNLA as a server for music, videos, etc. After an update to the pi the entire system went down and I was forced to rebuild it. Sever was always visible to the Roku and now it is not. I have 2 Roku's, 2 FireSticks, and 2 Google TV dongles and they all connect except for this TV.
I did reboot the router and the server was visible briefly but the connection was no longer available 60 min later? I have since tried rebooting the router to no avail. This is done wireless and connection strength is "Good". What's the issue? Roku gives no control over the connection so I am at the mercy of the device.
side note - my app no longer seems to connect or control the Roku either and this is new.
Welcome to the Roku Community!
If your DLNA server is no longer connecting to your TCL Roku TV, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
Regarding the issue with your app not connecting to and controlling your Roku TV, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app on your phone. If this doesn't work, try restarting your phone and then reconnecting to the same network as your TCL Roku TV.
Please keep us posted on what you find out.
Warm Regards,

Thank you for the suggestions but this issue was well researched before I posted. My only error was the TV type being TCL and not onn.
Server is visible to several other Roku devices.
Roku is connected to the network and the IP address of the device has been made static on the router.
Network has been reset several times. Connection = Good!
I would not try a wireless connection if wired was available.
The server did appear once after rebooting the router but disappeared shortly after. This Roku is new and worked 100% until the day it didn't.
When you launch the Roku Media Player (RMP), try backing out of it (keep pressing Back button on remote), all the way back to Home Screen. Then enter RMP again. You may have to back out of it a few times for the RMP to refresh connections. I have a couple different DLNA servers running, (one constant through a router), and others on different laptops (intermittent and only active when laptop is powered on). When I boot the laptops, I may have to Back out of RMP a few times until RMP recognizes it. Other times it will recognize it immediately.
