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...
Sure whytega, glad it helped. Yes the comment is confusing - I guess just an oversight.
I replied to a private message with some more instruction so I'll post them here in case it helps anyone else who comes across this in future.

It's relatively easy.
1. Download, install and run putty
http://www.putty.org/
2. Enter the local NAS IP address, ensure "SSH" is set and that the port is '22'. Then save the session (e.g. call it "NAS") so that you load it later.
3. Press 'Open' and a login window should appear. Login with your user "root" and the appropriate root password
4. Type in order
cd /etc
ls -l minidlna.conf
cp minidlna.conf minidlna.conf.bak
5. Now you need to edit the file as needed. I use 'VI' but that's because I know it well and I must be a bit masochistic :wink: You can find resources on the web.
vi minidlna.conf
6. Once the file is saved, restart the readyDLNA service.
OK, I lied, it's easy up to the editing part even if you're not familiar with linux (unix)!!!
Hope this helps anyway.
