Title: Organising Cloudstation Pro Duo Library for Xbox 360 / DLNA?
Post by: munkyjooce on November 23, 2012, 01:56:53 AM

I have been trying to figure out how to organise the CloudStation Pro library to show the correct folder structure when I browse from my Xbox 360. All I seem to get is one folder "Local Videos" folder and all videos in one directory.

 

Surely this isnt the only way I can view the videos from my Xbox / PS3 / TV?

 

Also, is there a way to remove certain folders from being served up? Currently ALL videos that it finds are added to one mammoth list. 

 

Thanks

Interesting - doing a search over at http://www.dlna.org/consumer-home/look-for-dlna/product-search doesnt show the CS-WV as certified.

 

Anyone from Buffalo shed any light on this?

 

What features do we actually have to server DLNA content on the CS-WV?

Some more information on streaming via PogoPlug DLNA to an Xbox 360 - http://support.pogoplug.com/entries/22118528-streaming-to-xbox-360

 

I'm guessing (because there is such little information on this) that PogoPlug is incorporated into the CloudStor by Buffalo and have no control over its functionality?

Hmm lemme see, maybe because it is actually not dlna certified?!

OK - more research and I've decided that organising content via DLNA/UPnP to an Xbox 360 is not actually possible. I would say that they have restricted this deliberately to make people use Windows Media Center. Even Twonky can't do it:

- Xbox 360 can accept pushed media, but only when it's in Media Center Extender mode and you have a Windows 7, Vista or XP Media Center Edition PC running on your network....- Xbox 360 does not display all of the items in the Twonky navigation tree. As a result, you won't see things like By Folder, Artist Index, Artist Album, Genre Index, Genre/Artist or Internet feeds like SHOUTcast, YouTube, Flickr, Picasa Web or PhotoBucket.
