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 had this problem years ago when I got my 1st Duo v1.
The issue was with the router.
I was pulling my hair out - the whole purpose was to stream vids to my tv (via a ps3 at the time) and get rids of all the disks underneath the tv.
I'm still using the same router (fibre is coming soon so this will go then)
Problem - I can see my NAS on my pc but it virtually never showed up on my PS3.
At the time I ended up buying a netgear gs105 5 port switch (about £25) and connected the switch between the router and the nas. Basically the ONE thing plugged into the router now is the connection between the switch. All other network connections go directly into the switch. Nas, Ps3, laptops etc.
I can see the nas everytime on every device I have.
Over time my home network has expanded but I've worked on the same principle.
So I have 3 netgear gigabit switches (2x8 and 1x5) - still only use ONE connection on my router - hooking it up to one of the switches.
I've connected each of the switches via cable.
I've now connected the PS3 Wired via a homeplug (Develo) to a switch - this sees both the v1 and v2 duo dlna services 100% all of the time
I've a Panasonic Gt30 (Built in dlna client) - this see's both v1 and v2 duos 100% of the time.
All my pc's see both duos on wired and wireless.
I've hooked up a android tablet and phone (wireless) and these both see the dlna services on both readynas all of the time.
If I plug one of the nas into the router I get the original hit and miss. This confirms what Skywalker is saying in that it must be network related.
I've not rooted or the "hidded" settings on either nas drive - they are both on the latest firmware.
The only issues ive had other than this are:-
Duo v1 stuttering playback on Bluray files (10gb+) - resolved enablign jumbo frames on the v1 and using a wired connection
MKV playback on an android device - see my other post to do this
protected cinavia MKV playback to Panasonic Tv (this tv's dlna checks for cinavia) and PS3 - fixed but is it ok to post a working solution on here??
Streaming MKV to PS3 - re-encode
