Quote from: bob on November 09, 2009, 09:42:10 am I don't think anyone should use auto-detect for now. See if MC shows up on the xbox and check to see if you can play something. Go to the xbox system options -> network -> test pc and the xbox will "redetect" your configuration. If that doesn't work, choose the "Advanced" configuration, it will start with the existing xbox 360 switches from your last configuration, stop the MC uPnP server, unclick the "omit host portion of the url" checkbox, restart the uPnP server. Having to set the port statically should not be necessary.Ĭonfishy, could you try it again without the static port? (stop the MC uPnP server, unclick the "specify port" checkbox, restart the uPnP server). Selecting the "xbox 360" configuration is absolutely necessary for the xbox. When we get to the state where multiple devices are working, autodetect should work then. I don't think anyone should use auto-detect for now. Movies ->(note: Theaterview suppresses the additional Movies / Movies) For example if I select on the PS3 XBAR "Video-> Media Center" I'm then presented with the following tree representing my library (only a part is expanded) * The navigation on the PS3 is far to verbose. You also get a few "the content can not be played" and "the data type is not supported" when trying to play video files where the container is supported but the PS3 does not like the video stream. * As Video transcoding is not yet supported, you see a lot of "Unsupported" video types when browsing. Neither of which prevented any playback - is the 2104 error related to the lack of Track Thumbnails perhaps. * I received a lot of "DLNA Protocol error 2104 has occurred" msg on the PS3 when browsing / playing tracks and also a "7531" error once when scanning for Media Servers. Couple of other items I noticed not covered in other posts and in no particular order It really is quite stable, quick to browse and for the most part navigation works. I got a bit more testing in till my son threw me off to play COD. I've really not had much chance to test all the combinations but it seems the BIG missing feature VS progs like TVersity / PS Media Server is still the lack of Video Transcoding (I'm sure the rest is straight forward). Typical issues are handling 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio correctly when streaming. DV-AVI Video Files: These are standard DV Camcorder footage in an AVI container and while very common few AV Devices will play them without on the fly transcoding. This is a typical problem as the audio steam needs to be transcoded even if the container is supported. MPEG2/DTS Streams in MPG Container: File would play but no sound. Video: Still no Conversion Options so I'm not expecting these will work yet but here is a couple of test cases to consider: Settings were "Convert audio if necessary" & "Uncompressed WAV" (need to test "Convert Always") WMA Lossless Audio (and I presume FLAC) Files: The file would play but all I would hear is static. I have three test cases from transcoding to a format that the PS3 can play.Īudio: These have work before and I'm sure are find but: When selecting the MC server you should then see the folders IN EITHER Audio, Images, Video as appropriate BUT you actually see the top level folders of Audio, Images, and Video (and while you can navigate the structure of all three only the content of the relevant type is shown)Ĥa) Playing Content (supported file type): Seems fine, streamed and played Video, Audio, Pic content just perfectly!Ĥb) Playing Content (transcoding required): This is the big one for me and what a quality UPnP/DLNA server such as TVersity / PS3Server does so well. I've been begging for this one for years so I'm pretty excited to see that it is getting some attention! Here is my quick feedback from the 5mins I got to test while my son was trying to play COD5.ġ) PS3 Recognition: Big improvement - set the MC UPnP server to Options to "Automatic" and guess what - it just worked! Well done!Ģ) Presentation in the PS3: OK you need to get the MC Icon appearing in the PS3 (everyone else does) as yours is just the default "grey device".ģ) Browsing in the PS3: In the PS3 you navigate to the Audio, Images, and Video section in the CrossBar then select your UPnP/DLNA server.
