Media service disapeared after Directv whole home dvr

Hello board,

I am having a strange problem and did a few Google searches but nothing came back to help me. I have a ReadyNAS Duo and everything was well until directtv hooked up my dvr to be a whole home dvr. Now when I search for media devices on both my WDtv live units and my PlayStation the only media server that shows is the direct-tv unit. Not sure if anyone has run into this and could lend me a hand? The file share feature still works so I am not 100% down but I do want to get the streaming services working again.

Thanks in advance for any help.

  • I've got dtv dvrs and they co-exist fine. All of them show up with the readynas on the ps3. I'd try stopping and starting the streaming service first from frontview if you haven't already.

    Lon shot: If you happen to be running 4.2.22 and have added an m2ts file that will kill the media server every time it scans. You need to downgrade to 4.2.21 or remove the .m2ts files.

  • Tried resetting the streaming service and Upnp service but no luck with my PS3 or WDTV boxes. The ReadNas still does not show under media servers. I do not know what .msts files are so I do not think that is my problem. Does anyone have something else I can try? I am running RAIDiator 4.1.10 and the unit is a ReadyNAS Duo [X-RAID].

    m2ts is what bluray and avchd disks use for media, it is an mpeg transport file format.

    Maybe try powering down the dvr, and rebooting the ps3 and wdtv live, and see if the NAS shows up again. The WDtv units can also access your data using CIFS, you don't actually need to use the ReadyDLNA streaming servicefor those.
  • Looks like the Direct TV dvr is not the issue. I powered everything down and the issue persist. I try re-running the upgrade to see if it would clear the issue up but no deal. CIFS is working and I can use it but I don't understand what is going on. Basically the streaming services have gone belly up on me.
  • I downloaded the logs and found this ominous looking message in the system log. Perhaps this might help troubleshoot the problem. I definitely do not have an IP conflict but I do not know how to interpret this message.

  • So I guess the forums is my only option since the support page directs you to the forums. I know others have seen this error in their log files:

    The only thing I have not tried is changing the IP address of the ReadyNas. I guess I will give that a try even though I know I do not have an IP conflic. I am pretty desperate if any of you have any suggestions they would be much appreciated. :?
  • You know I was going to suggest maybe the new systems created a duplicate IP, but didn't suggest it because you said you could still get to the shares. However, you maybe getting to them though samba/netbios or something. Have a look at your dhcp IP range configured on your router and then make sure your static ip on the nas is not used by anything else. Should be outside the DHCP range.
