N299 uShare Media Server & PS3

[SteveP]

Hi,

I am trying to stream video and audio files (MP4, MP3, etc) from my N299 Media Server to my PS3.

They appear as "unsupported data" under the PS3 and also "Unable to play this file" under Cyberlink SoftDMA.

I have read that the uShare instance that the N299 uses for Media serving may have some issues with the PS3. Is this fixable with a firmware update on the N299? I am currently running the latest release 1.00.24. and 2.10 on the PS3.

Any help appreciated.

Steve

Hi - I too have the same problem and am currently scouring whatever forums I can find. If you find anything, please can you post here again?
I will post here again if I find something.

Will do. Some of the places I've read say that a complete rebuild of the N299 might help by resetting the permissions. I'm not sure this would work. Lots of confusing information out there.

Hi Yvon

Would this problem also effect MP4 video files from the device?

Hi.

I am also trying to stream video and audio files (MP4, MP3...) from N299 Media Server to PS3. They allways appear as > Unsupported data < under the PS3.

PLEASE HELP !!!

Yvon,
Is this the Thecus firmware that's the problem or the latest PS3 firmware update?
I am also having problems streaming video, photos however, do work.

Hello Yvon,

I can confirm that my PS3 (FW 2.1) can play streamed MPEG2 formatted video files and Photos from the Thecus 299.

MP3 Audio files and MP4 or DivX video files are shown as Unsupported Data when accessed from the N299 Media Server.

Thanks for your continued investigations.

The same problem occurs with my N5200pro. Problem is with the Mediabolic server on the Thecus boxes. Streaming from other DLNA servers (e.g. Nero MediaHome) do not have this problem. Yvon, would appreciate if Thecus can fix this problem with the N5200pro as well so we won't have to rely on other addons such as Twonkly Server to stream mp4 video from Thecus boxes to the PS3

Yes, Network>Media Server> Enabled is checked. And Photos are supported.

Any anticipated date when the next firmware will be released?

Hi does this problem still exist - i have the same issue on the N299. I also cannot detect or play AVI files on the PS3 . MP3 simply come up as unsupported data.

Any help would be well appreciated this N299 is taking over my life !!!!!!!

Yes it does. I checked the Thecus website about a week ago to see if there was a firmware update, but alas, no newer than the one I have. JPEG's work, but not video or mp3's. Shame, it works so well with my pc's, but without PS3 functionality, it seems a bit useless! gutted!

When next firmware will be available? Spindown and PS3 connectivity MUST BE!!!!
