New LinkStation firmware 1.60 - issues and problems on DLNA

[bastono]

FYI, I noticed that new firmware 1.60 has been release in Buffalo Asia and Europe website. 

You may download the firmware on the following Buffalo site (outside of US).

I was wondering why it's not listed on US site though notification about IP-DTCP 1.6 is listed.

It will probably be added today, if not then in the next couple of days.

USA Quality Engineering is still testing the USA version - expect this to be released for download early next week on the USA download site.

That's a very good decision to test new firmware before upload it on the forum. I have upgraded my linkstation from 1.58 to 1.60. The upgrade went well and I also updated the DTP from 1.4 to 1.6. With this there's some improvement on the media server. Now my Samsung LED TV can play the video from DLNA with option for forward/backward which wasn't possible on firmware prior to these upgrade. However, I got some serious problem now as the media sever keep disconnected from time to time. Not sure it's the problem from the firmware or DTP. Hope the tech guys at buffalo US can look further about this.

no problems with disconnection on my media server on 1.6 and streaming mkv and avi no problem on my samsung tv :-)

 

good pointer if you want files to show immediately change the rescan in minutes to -1 on the twonky server http://nas ip address:9050 under sharing

good posts - please let us know specific TV model numbers that are having issues, and supply as much detail (file types) as possible.

Hi All - since installing 1.60 on my 3TB Linkstation Live, AVI files on the device are no longer picked up on my Sony KDL-26EX320. They still show on my PS3 and PC. AVI files are still streaming fine from my PC to the KDL-26EX320, so I don't think it's the TV. The only files streaming from the Linkstation now are MPG, MP4 and MP3. The vast majority of my files on the Linkstation are AVI so this is a real pain, any suggestions on how to fix it would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

what country are you in, and from what country's download did you get this from? Downloading from japan's website can have different FW that from other countries.

If you are a USA/Canada customer, please wait for the USA download for this FW to finish going through QA, and be posted on the USA download site, or you may experience issues due to different regional FW.

I am in the UK, and was prompted to download the update when I accessed Websetting via NASNavigator2- I didn't choose to update as such. Websetting handled the download for me so I don't know which country's file it has used.

I installed the FW update 1.6 to my Linkstation LS/WX2.0TL. There were no problems with the installation.

 

After the installation the Media Server dosnt work well. After starting a movia via Blu-Ray-Player the movie stops and the player looses the connection to the Linkstation. Watsching the Movie directly via USB on the Blu-Ray-Player works normally.

 

What can i do ?

 

Thanks

please specify more details, such as type of movie file being played. What location are you in, from what BT downloads did you download 1.6 from?

[guschdl]

The movie is a avi file. I downloaded and installed the update via the linkstation web admin console.

 

I am in Germany, if this helps

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

 

my SONY BRAVIA KDL 32EX520 whit the new firmware 1.60 doesn't see the avi file anymore, mp4 file work fine

 

 if I browse the catalog of LinkStastion whit Windows Media Player he put a warning next the avi

[guschdl]

It seems to be not only a problem with avi files. The same problem happens with m2ts files. After a little bit mire than a minute the connection to the linkstation is lost.

yes, all details help, include type of file, your location, what BT site downloaded from, how you installed it. Might be that some of the above issues are caused by by download or install (corrupt) but that is up to support to determine - I'm here to give feedback to the engineers. If anyone is having trouble, please try redownloading and installing one more time, in case of an issue during download or installing, so I can report correctly to the engineers.  Also, use your browser and enter:  IP (of your LS):9050  then to Settings, and tell me what version of Twonky shows up for your LS. 9050 is your Twonky port where the Twonky settings are.
