N299 uShare Media Server & PS3

[Huyderman]

I'm experiencing the same problems with my N3200. Playing MP3 works okay, but most other media shows up as Unsupported data even tough the PS3 should handle it.

Hi,
there is a Beta Firmware http://www.thecus.com/Downloads/beta/N299_N199_FW_1.00.29beta1.bin but I have not dared to test.
Of course there is no change log... use only at your own risk if you're tough enough...

BTW: I am not able to add an URL via the add link button, it takes the URL but it does not appear in the posting...

Bye

Hi - how did you find out about the beta?
I'm gagging for the PS3 to work with the N299 I'm considering downloading it....

What's this? This is not beta. But not the firmware on site.

I update firmware to beta. Nothing new, in first look. Dyndns option. BT has much stability. No spindown I guess. No speed improvements.
My friend say: "thecus - is a hot graveyard for ya HDDs". Very hot unit when my samsung work every 24|7. So sad.

I have no PS3 at this time and I can't test PS3 issues.

Ok, media server work. How to perform automatic rescan of media folders? Newer files not seen after copy to folders on N299.

BT upload nothing

tried 29 beta1 (yes i really want the PS3 to work as i bought this NAS especially to use as a media server)

no side negative side effect that i can see but still no joy with the PS 3.

Thecus please HELP:

Strange. I have two 750 GB Samsung Spinpoint F1 working and was afraid about heating up after reading some postings about it. Especially as I have reduced the fan speed from high to normal due to the noise. But I have not noticed temperatures to worry about yet.

I agree by the Yvone above psoted the new firmaware .26 in one thread somewhere - it doesnt seemed to have worked though on the PS3

Do you think it is a problem with The PS3 eg should we report it to Sony?

It is the newest non-beta firmware and is distributed on CD now with the n299 sold. I don't know why it has not been linked on the site.

I stream video/music to PS3 using the N2100 and Twonkymedia. Have you guys tried to use Twonky?

[SteveP]

Is there a Twonky Module for the N299? If so, where do I find it and how do I install it?

[dmkbox]

I think no way to use twonky, isn`t it?
