PlayStation®3 Media

[PhillyT]

Hi, I've got a lot of media on my QNAP-210 NAS which is running Twonky Media Server.

For a while now the PS3 has been unable to see any files (of any type) on this 'media server' under all of the XMB categories (Photos,Music,Video), and its now starting to bug me.

The files are definitely there, are all of numerous formats, compatible with the PS3 and are discoverable and work when (copied to and then) streamed from my laptop rather than via the QNAP.

I've got the latest QNAP firmware installed and have tried playing around with settings within Twonky; I've re-added and re-scanned the directories, re-configured the database within Twonky's settings but all to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this and get the PS3 to see my files again via Twonky?

EDIT: I've also tried rebuilding the database and setting Twonky to constantly monitor for updates/changes/new files, as well as checking periodically. Needless to say none of this worked either

Follow these instructions and post the Required result info...

Go to Music on XMB on PS3

Scroll down to twonky

Now there should be a single file which says unsupported data.

press triangle to bring up the menu.

select Information

And post what it says....

If there is no Single file but your folders  only show never mind its not what im thinking of.... 

The Real Twonky not a cutsom build for a NAS has a web interface you can access and stream from using the IPTV bookmarks. Like this video.

You get IPTV bookmarks from this topic...

Use Ireland for location.

If you can't access the remote interface there are even bigger problems with the build.

Have you followed all the steps here:

I figured it out..... under Media Receivers I had unchecked the tick boxes alongside each device (PS3 being one of them)... and as a result my PS3 was denied access to the media files.

Re-ticking this checkbox, save changes and try again sorted it out.

Thanks for the replies and info lads, whilst not directly resolving the problem it inspired me to have another look over things and a think! Thank you!!

and don't upgrade to Twonky 7 yet. stay on 6.0.38

Twonky 7 has got some very big problems that they need to fix first and it is a real pain if you get hit by them. 

As you'll lose web server use after 2 weeks...
