MiniDLNA - server slow to show up on my TV?

Hi there

I've been experiencing an issue with MiniDLNA v1.1 for some time, which I've just been ignoring! I have OMV installed on an HP microserver and stream video files to my TV via powerline ethernet adaptors. For some time now when I select media server from my TV (a 2014 Panasonic plasma) MiniDLNA doesn't show up on the list of available sources for something like 40 seconds. My desktop PC accounts all show instantly. I don't think it's a network connectivity issue as once connected it works fine, and I've changed my router fairly recently and the behaviour is the same.

I did think it might be disc access time as I've got my data drives set to 127 for power management with accoustic management set to min performance/min accoustic output, with spindown after 10 mins with OMV installed on an SSD. I tried making sure the drives were running before attempting to access via the TV but that's made no difference.

There's been no firmware updates for the TV in years, but I can't rule it out as a potential source of the problem, although it seems unlikely given it picks up the accounts on my PC?

I'm not spectacularly proficient with the inner workings of software/server issues, so please be gentle!

Hi - thanks for that

I should've said I've also got the same issue through my Pioneer Bluray player which is also a media hub, so not just with the TV.
