PS3 fails to see DLNA without ReadyNAS reboot
Hi all, I've found various threads on this issue but no solution so I'm hoping there's an answer that I've just missed. When first switched on, my Playstation 3 is only able to see the NAS drive th...
Well, I guess leaving it long enough solved the problem! :lol:
Despite quite a few hits but no no feedback on the forum I hunted around for configuration files and finally found one that explained and help me resolve the issue.
The file /etc/minidlna.conf defines a number of useful properties. The default value for notify_interval is 900 seconds and therefore I'm assuming that ReadyDLNA only broadcasts its availability every 15 minutes! Changing this to something more sensible (in this case 25 seconds) makes it available immediately after turning on the PS3.
Given that this is something that has stumped a few people, would it be possible to default the value to say 30 seconds and/or to expose the property in the Frontview add-on?
Anyway, I hope this helps others who thought they were not able to get the NAS working properly for streaming to the PS3.
