| Re: Thecus N299 Mediabolic Server NOT working with Zyxel DMA-1000
Yes thank you Poolking, I had read that and am aware of what it says.
Moving swiftly on I have received more info from Zyxel which may prove to be useful to people in this forum or through Web searches, in particular info about UPnP:
Very strange then. I can clarify that the DMA-100 only supports UPnP V1, not AV or V2.
UPnP AV enchanced the V1 specification of displaying abilities/auto configuring of devices by adding in the containers for media serving acapabilities. UPnP AV V2 is backward compatible with AV v1 but the DMA-1000 only uses UPnP V1 (not AV) for the configuration of its IP address etc. The reason being its not AV certified is the DLNA V1 client should be able to manage media serving capabilities.
I have checked the DLNA certified list and the embedded media server is indeed on there, though not under the name of Thecus as i was searching for that. Strangely though DLNA is not mentioned once in their manual for the product (which made me believe the product was not DLNA certifed) The two products should definatly be compatible then as you say and this would indeed sounds like a permissions problem. Have you had any useful information back from Macrovision regarding this yet? Unfortunately we do not have a Thecus NSA unit in our lab to test.
