DLNA compatibility ?

[robaveli]

   Just a thought.  Why doesn't Buffalo test with the PS3.  This is not just a random once in a while problem, this problem plagues every Buffalo NAS and PS3 combination.   So, Buffalo Tech, buy a PS3 and test your software.  Your reputation depends upon it.

Just to let you guys know, they have updated to 2.11 (100megs big listed as "fixes ps3")

lets hope it fixes it :smileyhappy:

This firmware has fixed the issue, if any one still has a problem with it please let me know so I can report it.

 

Thanks to every one for all the help

   Is there any precations I should be aware of before upgrading the firmware?

Or do I simply extract the file, when downloaded to a windows pc?

Has anyone tried, if it works?

Thanks Buffalo for the update!

   When refreching the  Update media list:

Hi again!

Now there is some positive progress going on...

I waited and had a cup of coffee as I didn't want to start writing too nasty mail...

So, after a while the PCast refreshed and applied wihtout those error messages and some files came visible, not all.

So, now I'm gointo leave it and go to bed hoping that tomorrow all files are visible!

 

I'll thank you Buffalo already a bit but I will confirm after everything is working.

This is Finland saying good night. http://forums.buffalotech.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif">

It did that to me also - but only once...

 

My prob on my Onkyo Amp is also solved. Many thanks...

 

Now we just need 'sleep mode' in the firmware like they get in Japan.

[bigrob]

   

I also think the sleep mode is a good idea, as the unit is always on the go even when not in use...

 

As for the upate thanks it's good to see these things are moving forwards.

 

I have run the updated refreshed my pc cas, I have no problems with the files working, the ones listed all work fine,

 

the video files are all listed and work fine, the photo's only list all of them if I go via folders and go into each album, and not if I list all photo's

 

This seems the same for the mp3 I have so many mp3's it's around 15gb but only 20/30 of them list if I choose all music. if I go by artist etc its all the same it only lists a few of the many mp3's

 

Paul if you need any more info please let me know

Have read through this post and wanted to provide some feedback for Buffalo regarding a problem I have been experiencing relating to the DLNA feature. Have been using LinkStation Live for a couple of years now, recently added PS3 system to the mix but have not had the problems experienced by most users. That is, I have been able to stream music, video & photos to the PS3. System details as follows:

 

Linkstation Live HS-DH320GL

• Firmware: 2.11
• PCast Media Server: Enabled
• Update Media List: Automatic
• Media Folder on LS: Media (top level share). This has been mapped as "M" drive on PC.
• Folder Structure under "Media" => iTunes, Video & Pictures.

 

 Computer:

• Thinkpad T61 w/Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, Vista Biz SP1
• iTunes 8.0.2.20
• iTunes Music Folder Location: M:\iTunes
• Audio imported with iTunes: MP3 @ 320kbps stereo
• iTunes music library: 4880 songs, 48.41 GB

 

PS3

• 80GB NA model (2 months old)
• Firmware: 2.53
• Media Server Connection Enabled

 

Network:

• No Domain, workgroup only
• Hardware: Linksys WRT54GS router (fw 4.71.1), Linksys WET200 bridge (fw 1.0.13)
• Linkstation connected to router (static IP 192.168.1.110)
• PS3 connected to bridge (DHCP)
• Router connected to bridge in B/G mixed mode with WPA2-PSK.

 

Problem: The PS3 only shows 10 songs under the following directories:

Music=>Linkstation=>Music=>All Music

Music=>Linkstation=>Music=>Genre=>Rock=>All Music.

However "All Music" under smaller subfolders/subcategories are faithfully presented and play flawlessly. This would seem to point to a problem that the Linkstation has with the size of the library subcategory. The Rock genre is 2/3 of my library (30GB, almost 3000 items). My next largest subcategory is 6.6GB with 395 songs, and the PS3 has no problem showing (or playing) "All Music" under that category. I had hoped that the new firmware v2.11 would solve this problem, but to no avail. Additional troubleshooting I have done:

• Copied entire media library to another computer running XP Pro & WMP11, and enabled sharing in WMP11. The PS3 sees the other computer and has no problem with the Rock category from this system.
• Tested the copied library with TVersity. As with WMP 11, the PS3 sees & plays all.
• Bypassed the Bridge and used the PS3's wifi to connect directly to the router, problem still exists.  
• Created an empty share on the Linkstation, changed the media folder under PCast to the empty folder, flashed the database, confirmed no files on the PS3, then changed PCast back to the Media folder & reflashed. No change.
• Shut down & restarted the Linkstation. No change.
• Similarly power cycled the router, bridge, & PS3. No change.

The main reason I want this to work is so I can play a random mix from that category, something I can do with the iPod, but DLNA makes this much easier if I can get it to work.

 

Please let me know if you need any more information to help solve this problem. Thank you in advance for your efforts.

I spoke too soon. 

This fix doesn't work very well...  I have about 23000 MP3s in my share. 

The "All Music" category displays 0/0, lists the file names, but nothing is selectable. 
"Artists" behaves the same way.  Folder and Genre work fine. 

 "Folder" works fine, but everything is sorted reverse alphabetically - ie Z-A rather than A-Z.

 

One serious omission is Album Artist.  Albums with Various Artists are split into individual Artist names - not that Artist works for my anyway...

Heyhttp://forums.buffalotech.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif">,

today I have been happy that I can see music, photos and videos through PS3.

Though the logic in how PS3 sees the files is not so clear but I'm working on it.

 

I wan't to thank Paul again for taking this issue and pushing it as hard as possible.

My trust in Buffalo has come back again and will continue to promote and support it again.

 

Thank you Buffalo,

untill next time  http://forums.buffalotech.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif">

   Is there an update or workaround that will show LS-WTGL/R1-V3 media server (linkstation Pro Duo 1TB on my Denon 3808?

[whack]

   Any chance of the same fix making it into a new firmware for Terastation Live as well? I have very similar issues with that.

   Forgot to mention, the Terastation is a HS-DHTGL/R5 with firmware 2.14.
