I have a LS Live 500 and am also anxious to get a decent DLNA that keeps working with my PS3.

Weel, you can add me to this list, I have been coming to this site for a while to look for new drivers and still no luck.  Like others I bought the 500Gb Linkstation Live becuase of its claim of full DLNA compatibility.  Like others I trusted the claim, and like others I have come across all the issues.  My had been working fine for a while.  I then had to rebuilt my PC, and I think since then, even if I want to see my drive on the PS3, I have to do a refresh, otherwise it is not visible on my network.

Recently, in trying to fix that, I have somehow got into the predicament that it no longer displays anything on my PS3, just the folders etc, but no media at all.

This needs to get fixed, otherwise why are Buffalo not offering money back.

Paul, I am assuming you work for Buffalo, based on your posts, I appreciate the updates, however, I think everyone hear deserves more info and quicker turnaround from Buffalo.  It just seems that the company is not concerned with losing customers, as I definitely will look at other products in the future when buying drives, and I will be looking over the next few weeks anyhow.

Lets gets this fixed, wouldn't this be a good Xmas present for all concerned.

Buffalo is aware that some customers are having support problems and Buffalo is researching the issue.

Hello All,

I just bought the LinkStation Live (LS-CHL) F/W 1.00 because of the DLNA Certified claim, and at first I had the same issues like everyone else.  I am using gaming consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3) as my DLNA players. At first both systems sees the media servers but not the files.  But after I updated the firmware of the LS-CHL from 1.00.023 to 1.01.043, it works like a champ.  Able to stream videos on both consoles.  I even played the same video on both consoles at the same time and the NAS can handle the data transfer to both consoles via wifi "g". 

After I installed the software, I logged on the Web Admin Page to configure the NAS.  Just to check if the media server services is enabled, and disabled services that I'm not using (ie print server, appletalk, etc).  Make sure the folder that is being shared by the media server is the location you are dumping your data on.

Hope this helps.

i have one of the 1st live units which has no updated firmware so i think the problem we have is one of the older units

[toygts]

what model number?

have you tried this page of discontinued products, it directs you to the available downloads of each individual device. ie hd-dh400gl replaced by hd-dh500gl, try using the f/w of the replacement.

Guys,

I opened up this thread for a MINILINKSTATION 

Would be better to use another post to discuss cross compatibilty and discontinued products, not concerned by my original question.

thank you

Sigh, add me to this list too.

My Buffalo LinkStation (HS-DH1000GL) NAS box (ver 2.10 firmware) is having trouble inter-working with my D-Link DSM-520 media player. The DSM works fine with the

Tversity media server installed on my PC.

My NAS box has a bunch of media files but these aren't visible on the

DSM; it still shows only some sample media files that I had copied as

test when I first installed the NAS box a month back. Since then, I've copied

several new media files and gone into the admin menu and refreshed the media

list but these don't show up on the DSM.

My PC is the master repository and the DSM can always see the latest media list from the PC.

Going through this thread, it appears that I am not missing some config step on the LinkStation. Buffalo needs to post a fix __quickly__ or else there are a lot of angry and frustrated customers like myself who've bought the box because it claims to be DLNA-compliant.

Best Regards,

Milind

Hi all,

I do NOT have a terrastation or Linkstation YET! but am looking to buy one. The MAIN raison is to have DLNA certified and compatible solution in order to be able to listen to music or to see pics on my DENON AV Receiver.

In this context the following:

DOES OR DOES IT NOT WORK ? (DLNA)

ANYONE EXPERIENCE WITH DENON 4308 AV Receiver and DLNA "attached" Buffalo NAS

In order for me to buy such solution, I must ensure myselve that IT works.

So all your comments are helpfull...
