(SOLVED - Not an Amahi issue?) Roku App Can't Find Roku Since HDA Install
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 10:07 pm
Hi all,
I'm having a strange networking issue ever since I installed my HDA. Since the install, I use Amahi for DHCP & DNS, and I have made sure that my router's DHCP & DNS functions are off.
I have a Roku on my network and devices running iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7 which have Roku apps which used to be able to control the device. Ever since I installed Amahi, the apps can no longer detect any Roku device on my network. The technology behind the pairing process isn't explained in the app or the website. But the Windows Phone 7 app (a third-party app) allows you to manually specify the IP address of your Roku, but plugging in the IP address displayed in my HDA's web interface still doesn't make the app recognize the Roku.
I tried the networking troubleshooter, but besides this nothing seems wrong with my network, and the troubleshooter couldn't determine any problem with my configuration. There's no other trouble with accessing network or internet resources from either the Roku or devices, so it doesn't seem like something wrong with the devices' connection... I wonder if it's some kind of announcing feature that Amahi doesn't pass along?
Anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else experienced this? It's not a huge deal, but I miss being able to use the apps... they were so much more convenient than the Roku's awful remote.
