PS3 now can't see any files on DNS 323
« on: June 02, 2008, 03:05:09 PM »

Yesterday, I upgraded the firmware to 1.05. While prior to this, my PS3 could play saved videos residing on the DNS 323 for a tiime after upgrading to the 1.04 firmware, then a few weeks later, the PS3 claimed the files were corrupt  and refused to play the files. However Quicktime could read and play the files with no problem on my Mac Pro tower.

NOW, with the upgrade of the DNS 323 firmware to 1.05, the PS3 sees absolutely nothing beyond the Share folder on the 323. It does not recognise my videos or audio files (mp3 and AAC).

The PS3 also fails to see any photos I have loadd on the DNS, which it played just fine not  a week ago.

The other issue I have is that recently, my Roku Soundbridge, which for a short period could see all my music on the DNS 323, developed selective blindness and could only see a portion of my library for the last two weeks. Then, the Roku failed to play any files whatsoever (it fails to load the songlists/browse data). Now, I haven't had a chance to check the Roku out since the 1.05 firmware upgrade, so I will add to this later.

It looks to me like there has been  a steady deterioration in the DNS 323 functionality over the past month or so. 

Any ideas on a fix? Is there a way to wipe the DNS clean and start over, reloading video and audio files?

I have not seen this issue it should work fine with your PS3. If you would like to wipe it clean please log into the DNS-323 config and goto Tools then under RAID you can re-format your drives.

I thought it was understood that the ps3 stopped working with the latest firmware? hm. My files are 100% fine (I play them on various machines including a DSM-320) but the PS3 gets errors when it tries to scan the 323. Mediatomb works fine.

Was it the last firmware for the DNS-323 or PS3 that it stopped working with?

Are you able to load 1.04 back to the DNS-323 and get ot back working?

You can also try Winamp remote which works with firmware ver 1.05

I would like to say that with 1.04 firmware, my PS3 and DNS-323 couldn't talk at all.... Running TwonkyVision on the 323 solved that, but it was a bit clunky...

BOOM! Installed 1.05 a few days ago, didn't yet get around to putting TwonkyVision on the 323, and the uPNP server on the 323 is playing nice with my PS3.

THANKS D-LINK!!!

I decided to give it another shot and I seem to have figured it out. It appears that if you share the root and there are inaccessable files or dir present, the media list fails to generate (this was an old bug). In my case it appears the BT directory is the cause. As I've noticed in several other posts on the forum, you cant just change the permissions of the BT dir, so I'll have to either create a subdir and move files I want to share into it or do the 1.04 downgrade to uninstall the BT dir/app. Maybe its for the best if we can simply have the ability to chmod or chown dirs through the web interface? Seems silly to ask for the ability to modify permissions of files on a NAS drive we own. Hmm, maybe I will install telnet access after all.
