PS3 Setup, Mediaserver, doesn´t work

[danizo]

Hi there,
I hope someone will help me on that...
I´m using the N1200 for several weeks now.
Everything works great so far.
Now, my music folder is completed and ready, I´m trying to
setup the mediaserver to stream my music into my LAN.
I´m trying use my old Xbox (running the opensource XBoxMediaCenter)
and also my Playstation3 (Firmware 1.93) to connect to the N1200
Mediaserver. I know that a lot of people using the PS3 together with
the N1200, so shouldn´t it work without problems?
Here is my setup....I´ll trying to explain what works and where my problem is.
Until now, only under the Xbox/XBMC I was able to connect to the mediaserver, for some reasons only under SMB (Network shared) Server.
IP´s:
- the LAN is working under 192.168.0.xx IP´s
- Router (Gateway) is setup on 192.168.0.10 (Internet works great)
- N1200 setup static to 192.168.0.75
- Xbox setup static to 192.168.0.30
- PS3 setup static to 192.168.0.25
Subnet for all clients ist 255.255.255.0
Gateway always 192.168.0.10
DNS Server, the next here in my town working without problems.

Cable/Switches:
The setup is running on two diffent rooms. My PC and the N1200 are
connected to a netgear switch. The netgear switch also to the router
and on one LAN port to a powerline LAN adapter (for streaming the
network into my powerline).
Another netgear powerline adapter is setup in the next room. Again
a netgear switch. On this switch are plugged in the Xbox(XBMC) and
my new PS3.

N1200:
I enable the mediabolic mediaserver on the N1200 interface.
Also I enable SMB Network Share (Workgroup is the same as on my PC etc.)
I added the music folder under the mediaserver setup, N1200 confirmed so.

Xbox (XBMC):
I´m only able to find the N1200 mediaserver (is it ther server?) under
SMB (Network share / Workgroup). Here, first I see my workgroupname and under the workgroup the N1200 music folder. The music playback work´s...also video when I´m enable the video folder on the N1200 mediaserver.
There is a setuppoint on the XBMC Networksetting, where I can place the
Network Workgroup Share informations. The PS3 doesn´t have this settings.

PS3:
I updated the firmware to the latest (1.93), when checking the network connection. The PS2 confirmed everything is o.k. Only the UpDn Service is
not available for some reason. I activated UpDn on the PS3 setup, but still
the PS3 tells me it´s not ready. Now....when I´m trying to find a mediaserver, the PS3 scanning, but without any hits. There is no mediaserver found. The Xbox still find the N1200 under SMB Networkshare, the PS3 finds nothing.
Internet and connection to the Playstation Store is o.k.!
I also tried to connect the N1200 direct to the switch on side of the PS3.
So no powerline between the N1200 and PS3...still no mediaserver found.

Where is the problem?
What does the UpDn Service stands for? And why isn´t it available for the PS3?
I now that serveral people using the PS3 to access the N1200 mediaserver.
Could someone please give my a hand on my setup?

Thank you....

XBMC is finding you N1200 thru SMB just like your PC does with your N1200. If you turn off SMB service on N1200, then you will not be able to play music on your N1200 thru you XBMC.

I don't have PS3, so I can not tell you how PS3 works with your N1200. You can check under N2100/N4100/N5200 boards to see if there is any posts regarding PS3.
;D

...yes...that´s clear. I understand that the XBMC found the N1200 just like any other shared PC under my workgroup. Should be an MS-protocol?!
But there must be a way to setup the N1200 to work with other protocols.
I know that several people using this setup....
Someone got hints for me??

A lot of people talking about using the PS3 with the N1200.
But I didn´t find any information on how to setup.
Thecus themselve are not helpfull at all.
My N1200 was broken when arried. It didn´t boot up.
After reading your forum, I uninstalled the HD-Cage, used tape to
go sure the cage will not be in contakt with the mainboard.
Reinstalled everything....N1200 boot´s up just good !
Just don´t ask what Thecus wrote in there "support" email

Thx...

...today just tried the twonky mediaserver, running on my main PC.
Just to see if the PS3 will see any UPnP Server App.
Well works wihout any problem.....
So...is there someone who understand, why my PS3 doesn´t see
the N1200? Is there a problem between the mediabolic server and
the PS3? Anyone?

Hi there.
From the PS3 web browser, can you access your N1200 by ip address?
