Sony PSP

[i-beast-a]

At this moment the PSP has firmware 2.5.
But I will update it to 2.6.

This week I will give it another try!

(And ofcourse post the results here)

[LeperKing]

I had to go to 2.6 because I was using WPA.

I had to go to 2.6 because I was using WPA.

But is there a difference between 2.5 and 2.6 related to WPA?
I will just update to have the lastest (and hopefully greatest :-) )

AFAIK the 2.5 just supports WPA(TKIP), don't know if 2.6 supports AES encryption, I'm not sure about that....

I switched from WPA to WEP just because my PSP 1.5 doesn't support WPA, and with the less traffic that I have, there's no way to crack the passphrase ^^

3dfx: what firmware do you run on your wl500g ??

[3dfx]

I have the official 1.9.5.0 on it with WEP enabled.

perhaps you set up your PSP wrong, or missed something
I have entered everything manually (SSID, IP, Gateway, DNS servers)

try that (if your already didn't)

This WL500G is running 1.9.4.0.

So my first steps will be to update the router and the psp.

I had 1.9.4.0 for a few days too, worked well fine like now
I just updated because I had more problems with my ADSL2 line with 1.9.4.0


?? did you try it with WEP, or just tried WPA

If you try WEP you have to enter the calculated "WEP Key 1 (10 or 26 hex digits)" not the Passphrase you entered :P

so far I tried only WEP. Also I tried the 10 digit and 26 digit variant.
I even tried on an open network.
But then the DHCP did somehow not give a IP adres.

I also tried with a fixed IP....also "not able to make a connection"

The feedback that the PSP gives is also really limited so you do not know WHAT goes wrong....

Keep you guys posted on the progress.....

?? did you enter your ISPs DNS server IP's in the PSP

I had the same problem, it didn't work with WEP and open neither.

But I forgott why it didn't work

I have a PSP wit PSPRadio and am streaming my personal audio files over from the wl-hdd. I searched in vain for a icecast.shoutcast server for wl-hdd, but then just ended using httpd to stream mp3 files over wl-hdd wifi and it seems to work just fine. Install the httpd ipk, put your mp3 files into the httpd www directory, start the service, and then edit your PSPRadio playlist file (stoed int he papradio playlist folder) to point to your wl-hdd ip and port and mp3 file. It will sream the mp3 to your PSPRadio nicely without the shoutcast server. I think eventually a dedicated shoutcast server would be better as it transmits a true stream with metadata info.

hey! thats good news to me! have some questions.
where can i get httpd ipk? are you using oleg's firmware? if not, is it possible to install and run the httpd ipk in oleg cause im running oleg right now. or do you mean any httpd server such as thttpd?

thanks for the good news!

btw, can you send me or just post here the sample format of the pspradio playlist file using your kind of setup. thanks again.

[mutejute]

i tried just now but the sound is like as if they were singing like chipmunks, and lots of noiseclicks. could it be my playlist file is incorrect. i created 2 sample files:

1)
[playlist]
File1=http://192.168.11.220:81/jukebox/Trashcan%20Sinatras/Ive%20Seen%20Everything/06%20-%20Killing%20The%20Cabinet.mp3
Title1=Killing the cabinet
Length1=-1
numberofentries=1
Version=2

2)
http://192.168.11.220:81/jukebox/Tra...asy%20Read.mp3

both of these playlists worked but, as ive said, its not listenable. could you please share me your playlist file or just a sample format. thanks.

Your playlist looks ok. It can work without the %20 (spaces) As for high-pitch, my guess is that your source audio sample rate might be at 48khz rather than 44khz. See if that is true or resample and do a test. Do your audio files work withing PSP radio when placed in the PSP music/ folder and played back with PSPRadio file mode? Also make sur eyou ahve the latest PSPRadio, at least 37 final, I am using 38.03

A portion of my playlist.

i downgraded to 1.5 and it works fine now. so its probably the ebootloader + pspradio combo is not good for mp3 streaming via http. i was using 0.37 version in 2.0 . i encounter the same problem in 1.5 if i load pspradio in file assistant. so it could be a memory problem. loading pspradio directly from the psp game menu works fine though. thank you so much for the info.

btw, i can also create playlist on the fly! because i have zina mp3 server installed in wl-hdd too. although i have to run other homebrew programs to do that such as portalvnc (for web access via pc), url2psp (auto-download pls/m3u to psp), file assistant (to move pls/m3u to pspradio playlist folder). a pc is still needed for this though.

i think fw 2.0 is the ideal setup because it has a browser built-in. then using file assistant (it also works in 2.0 using ebootloader) to move the playlist file. only problem is pspradio doesnt work properly for this setup, based on my experience. maybe 0.38 could work on this. will try that out when i decided to go back to 2.0 again. i'll be using 1.5 for the meantime.

thanks again for this info. my wl-hdd project (mp3 streaming) is successful!
