Hey guys. I have Wizd installed on my wl-500gP V2 but I cannot see the server on my Playstation 3. I can browse to the router from my pc and see the skin and the file listings but the PS3 will not find the server. Has anyone been able to get this running? With firmware 2.6 and DivX support on the PS3 this would be very nice to get running so I can retire my Xbox1 running XBMC.
Thanks!

So i removed Wizd, could not get it to work and installed ushare. The server shows up for the PS3 immediately but I get a "DLNA Error 501" when I try do do anything on it. Ideas?

Well, I use wizd with my buffalo linktheater and it works just perfect.
All what I've done is to adjust the document_root in wizd.conf (together with alias)
When I export my favorits from my browser and store it to hdd (and referenced by alias), I'm able to browse the internet, listen shoutcast radio aso.
If necessary adjust the port (wizd.config) to your needs. (In my case port 8000)
If you wanna have a quick look, just input into your browser http://routerip:yourport
With ushare, I had to much troubles.
have fun.......
Odd, I could browse the Wizd server from my PC, but it would not show up on my PS3 (not upnp/dlna compatible?). UShare shows up right away on my PS3, but I get error 501 everytime I try to access it...Quote:

twonkymedia has support for ps3 if i am not mistaken.
I did enable the PS3 (and Xbox360) part in the config file. It does show up on the PS3 its just that when I access it from it it always gives me a "Error 501".Quote:

Wasnt sure which one to use here as everything else is USHARE_ but the config only says ENABLE_DLNA
I was looking for a server on my wl500 so the PS3 could stream audio and videosfrom my shared storage, and Mediatomb works perfect: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/med...ips32el.tar.gz
Just unzip this on /tmp/harddisk, modify the config.xml to enable ps3 support (check the doc on mediatomb) and run ./mediatomb.sh. There will be a GUI so you can select which folders needs to be scanned by mediatomb.
My only problem is that it can't be run as daemon. I even tried to add a line to my post-boot but it didn't work.
No DLNA errors anymore :-)

I'll have to try mediatomb then. :)Quote:

Hello,
Once again I have to ask this community members for help:) I would like to ask PS3/Asus router owners which media server to use with WL-500GP v1 to stream music/videos. I've read about ushare and mediatomb but I can't decide which to use ofcourse if any of mentioned works with PS3. Maybe some tips about streaming any kind of media to console, which port should i open to play online etc etc?
Well ushare is said not to work for PS3.
Mediatomb is ok I guess... it doesn't indexes my MP3 tags that well tho:p
I use twonky at the moment, it indexes everything properly, works on my sisters xbox360 and it's quite lightweight imo:)
Too bad it doesn't support subtitles, but when you place the subs in an .mkv you can play them:) and of course... it's not opensource so thats bit of a downside as well:p
Ok so maybe in brief which of those two (mediatomb and twonky) is better (lesser memory footprint, resource consumption etc)? Maybe some other questions:
• which of these servers can stream avi files with subs
• can .mkv files be streamed also
• which twonky version should i use if i decide to use it and is it possible to register it after buying a full version
• will wl500gp v1 handle this server simultanously with lighttpd, transmission, mysql and other standard running apps (samba, ftp, ssh)
• what should i install first to make it all work and should upnp be turned on on my router
