I wasn't too structured about it, but as I recall, the upnp server is
on by default (in fact, I don't know if it can be turned off per se).
It wasn't working, so I looked through the myth backend logs and saw
upnp server errors about the IP address. I had set it up with
127.0.0.1 in the server configuration and allowed DHCP to assign the
IP. I changed that to a static assignment and updated the server
configuration. I think that's it -- worked just fine after that. I
currently have a PVR 250 and 350 (analog, mpeg2) and am waiting on
some HDTV hardware and hope I have the same success. (Just in case it
matters, I'm using MythDora.)
I have noticed that it takes a few seconds for the server to show up.
(Quite literally, I was in the theater about 5 minutes ago. Blu-ray
movie was over, I exited the player and went to the video menu. My
server wasn't there. It showed up about 5 seconds later. I assume
that delay is the network discovery part.)
I do need to fast forward through commercials, which is why I ask
about commercial skip. That would be really sweet.
Hope that helps you out!
