Dear Sir,

Please confirm the MEDIA SERVER is enabled & folder selected, also we could try on this CyberLink_SoftDMA on PC to verify this media service, this software is a media client as like Dlink DSM320 or PS3 for media server, following link for your reference:

Try Free - CyberLink Digital Home Enabler Kit - Easy Home Networking

I am experiencing a similar problem to the original poster. I have a folder set up on my N299 with video files in it and another with audio files.

Media Server is enabled and the folders are selected and rescanned.

When I try to access these files on my PS3 via the Media Server, I can browse the folders and see the files but they show up as "Unsupported Data".

Similarly the Cyberlink SoftDMA player shows these files as unsupported data.

Please help!

but i cant even browse anything, dlink dma cant find media server, same on soft DMA..

media server is enabled and folders with media data selected and rescanned

I'm having the same problem as SteveP with my PS3. All mp3 music files show as 'unsupported data'. I can browse photos on it, but not music. aaarggh.

Dear Sir,

We found certain PS3 verison firmware would make the MP3 file as "unsupported data", thus we will tring to revsion firmware to this issue.

I think that this may resolve the issue with DLNA protocol error for the Playstation 3.

I have also found this information from the " ushare . geexbox . org " Web site for information for the GeeXboX uShare UPnP A/V Media Server GeeXboX uShare UPnP A/V Media Server ,

Latest release of uShare is 1.1a.

ChangeLog:

* Support for XboX 360 dashboard Fall Update (.avi and .divx now are supported)
* DLNA support is not enabled by default, as not mandatory.
* Some configure script fixes and better support for cross-compilation.
* Fixed network interface discovery on MacOSX.
* Much more complete DLNA support through external libdlna.
* Telnet Control interface.
* Support for FLAC and HDMOV files.
* FreeBSD 64bit and MacOSX build fix.
* Newly written configure script.

Compile uShare by running configure and then make. This should produce an executable ushare in the src subdirectory, which can be used right away. No extra files need to be installed.
Example :

CFLAGS="-Os" ./configure --prefix=/usr
make

If you want to enable DLNA support, run:

./configure --enable-dlna


This seems to suggest that the problem of ushare and the Sony PS3 is not a licensing problem but the DLNA should be enable during the program compile. Therefore could Yvon from Thecus consider if this could be put into the firmware for the N299 please. If this were to be true and successful, many PS3 owners will be most happy as there will be no more DLNA protocol error for the avi and mp3 which are shown as unsupported formats.
