Thanks! This works perfect

I have PS3 Media Server running on PC running Vista 64bit. Have 0.5.2 fw, opt.bin, and upnp-djmount.app.bin 0.1 on usb key to boot. trendnet usb-ethernet adapter. most working perfectly, but wondering if it’s possible to stream mkv’s from PS3 Media Server. I can see upnp folders and ps3 media server folders. but when i get to the actual mkv files, it seems to break them down further into .m3u folders/files. I did see “YMMV”, so am I possibly asking for too much?

<<< edit: dunno anything about your setup so can’t say. Check out wdtvforum and post the question there, might have better luck. –b-rad >>>

Hey, Im probably gonna come off as an a$$home but I really do appreciate what you do for the WDTV community but when downloading it sucks to have to wait for rapidshare let you download another file. Maybe throw it up on a better site or add another mirror?

<<< edit: Maybe sometime I’ll get around to that. –b-rad >>>

it would be perfect if a configurable Upnp-Server would be wake-up-able via WOL

<<< edit: should be possible if said server has WOL. –b-rad >>>

Hello, i have the problem that my upnp Folder is always empty. I don’t know what to to. Can anyone help me please? THX

<<< edit: Might be the thumb, I’ll try and investigate when I have time. –b-rad >>>

Hi b-rad,
after rebooting I have to run “djmount /tmp/media/usb/UPnP” manually to see my uPnP shares. Can you give me a hint how djmount is normaly run at the boot process?
Regards

Hi, it’s me again,
there is a file called folder.jpg inside the directory uPnP. Not even that I have to run djmount manually after a reboot, I also have to delete this file every time. It’s not possible to mount my uPnP share at a nonempty directory. Maybe this is the reason that it doesn’t mount automatically?
Regards

<<< edit: I don’t use uPnP so I haven’t noticed any issues. If the thumb is causing problems I’ll remove it from the pack. –b-rad >>>

Hi b-rad,
great work. Could you take a look at the djmount boot process? As Tom mentioned one will have to start djmount manually.
Additionally some wdtvforum user ‘cow’ and another ‘richardjb’ provide some patches to access files > 4GB, really interesting to stream HD files.

Regards

hi, i have the same trouble as tom.
please can you fix that?
thanks.

I’m using windows media player under vista as my uPnP server; it successfully identifies my clients (ps3, wdtv). The PS3 can see/stream content, but the wdtv gets a “This folder is empty” message in the uPnP folder. Device is online w/an IP. Is anyone else using wmp as the uPnP server?

I posted a comment yesterday and don’t see it now, but wanted to follow up with what Tom said above: I think he’s correct about the thumb file causing the inability for djmount to work. I removed it, ran the mount again and my uPnP shares came right up.

<<< edit: I’ll remove the icon asap. –b-rad >>>

How? The UPNP-folder does not show anything if no server’s online?

Works like a charm. I noticed that the WD-TV exposes a UPnP Media Renderer interface too; when I run a control point I can get it to play an mp3 or video remotely, however the GUI isn’t synched with this (i.e. music plays but GUI doesn’t change, with video I can only see the video running if I view a photo).

Any idea where this functionality is coming from? I scanned the djmount sources, but it doesn’t seem to include this?

<<< edit say what?!? You’re saying you can get a video to play on your tv by the wdtv by controlling it remotely via the control point? –b-rad >>>

Yep. Using Cidero (http://www.cidero.com/) the WDTV shows up as renderer (devicename “000000000000″), and then I can tell it to play a video. Only issue is that the video isn’t visible until you open e.g. a photo through the OSD, and then the OSD closes again after a few seconds. mp3’s work too, but it sounded chunky (may have to do with the feedback events it’s providing via UPnP).

So it kind of works, but it isn’t sync’ed with the GUI

UPnP messages (UDP multicast) look like:

NOTIFY * HTTP/1.1
LOCATION: http://192.168.1.18:58922/
HOST: 239.255.255.250:1900

<<< edit: crazy >>>

Update: It looks like it contains the same firmware as the DSM-320, see http://forums.tversity.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=840&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a. The Server string is the same, and TVersity recognises it as a DSM-320

Looks like comments are getting lost here? I wrote a comment to confirm that yes, using Cidero (http://www.cidero.com/) I can see the WDTV as a Renderer, and make it play a video or audio file

Sorry, but I’m going nuts right now. I read about this firmware in a German computer magazine today. Next stop was getting the WDTV HD and a compatible USB LAN adapter (Wintech LAU 15).

Then I upgraded the firmware, hooked up the LAN adapter and yay, DHCP worked nicely, the WDTV hat an IP, the control lamp blinking away merrily.

So far for the good news. Now I’m trying desperately to get the box to access the shared foldes on my Windows Home Server. So far ever machine that had something remotely resembling an OS on it had no problems doing exactly that. My Philips TV by UPNP-AV, my LinVDR by Samba mount, and so forth.

Not the WDTV though. I have put the djmount on the stick, I tried the samba app with
xmount //192.168.0.48/Videos Videos cifs user=guest, passoword=

I switch on, switch off, the usb stick is blinking while the machine winds down. I restart and open the Videos folder and all it says is “This folder is empty”.

What am I doing wrong? Can someone help. I’m truly stuck…

Now It seems to work, I unplugged the sucker and when starting up it showed both the samba mount and the uPnP works too. Super duper… took me four hours, but the result is well worth it…

Everything works now. I unplugged it and now Samba mount and uPnP are working like a charm… great stuff!!

Seems to be a problem with comments being erased. Had a detailed comment about the problem on here but disappeared. So the short version is, this works great as far as being able to see/play files larger than 2GB, BUT the FF/REW/Resume does not work on any of those files. It works perfect on the smaller files.

b-rad, is there anything that can be done for this?

<<< edit: UPnP is often ‘on-the-fly’ so seeking is probably disabled. –b-rad >>>

Using Windows 7 I’ve configured the upnp media shares and I get the folder icon to browse on the WDTV but I always get ‘This folder is empty’

b-rad, I very much appreciate the UPnP-djmount.app.bin pack which works pretty well for me. However, I have not been able to get my hands on the patch provided by cow for streaming files >4GB. I would like to incorporate the patch into my own version of djmount fixing a nasty “off-by-one” bug that exists in djmount-0.71 and which prevents it from being able to stream data from my Synology DS209 NAS (see my post here: http://wdtvforum.com/main/index.php?topic=1308.15) Can you provide the patch? Or could you incorporate the (very simple) fix outlined in my posting and release version 0.2.3 of UPnP-djmount.app.bin?

Kai

<<< edit: was almost positive I included his large filesize patch. I definitely don’t have it anymore, thats for sure. When I find time I’ll try to remember to update it. –b-rad >>>

B-rad, got UPnP is recognized my Hp Media Server right off the bat. I can see the folders, Also see a search folder, but it is empty. If I go to all files in video, picture or music. It said empty. Is there away to get the cover art for movies to show up on wdtv from my server. Have not been able to do this yet.
