Hi all,
I've encountered some niggles when using the media server with my PS3 and if anyone can offer help or advice it would be appreciated.
H/W = IBM Thinkcentre, MB FRU#89P7935, P4 2.8GHz, 512MB DDR RAM, 40GB PATA HDD, booting from USB. NL-M2 set up for uPNP = PS3.
The main niggle for me is that when playing MP3 audio via the PS3 the only useable PS3 controls are play and pause. FFwd, FRev, skip fwd/back, etc either just don't work or lock all other controls except stop.
The NAS media server I'm retiring when I commission this one worked as expected wrt this aspect of the PS3 user interface.
The other niggles I'm experiencing are: 1. Playlists *.m3u simply don't appear anywhere, and they are in the Media folder/directory, and I have re-indexed the uPNP content. I've tried other playlist formats but without success. 2. There is no meta-data content displayed. All that is displayed is "-/-" where Album/Artist (or vice versa) should be displayed, and likewise for one of the other properties that escapes me.
I've tried other uPNP setups [DLNA/Generic/PS3] excl XBOX without success.
I'd also be interested if there is some way of generating dynamic playlists. I recall seeing some post on this but don't think there was a definitive answer.
Cheers, Brendon.
