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...
Hi,
I've found this thread very useful in suggesting ways to set up my ReadyNas Duo to stream to a Naim UnitiQute. The Qute kept on losing the server, whether I was using the Twonky add-on for ReadyNAS or the ReadyDLNA service. When they worked, they worked really well, and the connection was never lost while playing music - and I could always see the readyNAS from my MacBook. But when I changed input on the Qute, or when it had been dormant for a seemingly random amount of time (varying between a few minutes and several hours) the server would disappear or fail to show up. However, it would sometimes show up again when I stopped and restarted the ReadyDLNA, or rebooted the Duo (but not always! very frustrating!)
So, I tried a lot of things I've seen on this forum (with latest versions of RAIDiator and ReadyDLNA), to no avail.
However, the one thing that seems to have led me in the right direction was Skywalker's insistence that it was something getting in the way of the media player's request to the server (the SSDP search packets, I suppose). I found that my router (BT HomeHub 2.0) was not very easy to configure so I couldn't do anything about ICMP snooping - so I got an old Belkin router out of the cupboard (never throw anything away!), put it in the BT HomeHub's place, and suddenly everything was working! (actually, I might throw the BTHH away...)
No dropouts yet, after well over an hour and several bits of tinkering and input-changing. All servers show up instantly now and don't get dropped. OK, the old router is slower (802.11g) but still more than fast enough for streaming music.
So, just wanted to say thanks to all contributors, particularly Skywalker, and: I know it's not a PS3 I'm talking about here, but for my purposes it was definitely the router getting in the way of proper networking, and not the ReadyNAS, the ReadyDLNA, or the UnitiQute.
