(Fixed) At my wits end - DLNA will not start - macOS

Server Version#: 1.14.1.5488
Player Version#: DLNA

Nothing I have tried will get my DLNA server to start.
Nothing else is taking port 1900…

I’m lost and confused! :wink: Help! I’ve tried to look on here and elsewhere and can find no resolution.

The Neptune log is empty…

OK - Lesson learned - you have to use sudo to get all of the ports…

sudo lsof -i -P |grep 1900

Sure enough I found a HD Homerun process listening.

Uninstalled it.
Restarted PMS…
