610N Media Server Issue

Does anyone have an issue when you enable the Media Server feature on this router? My router seems to hang after a while.

Check if the firmware on the router is the latest one.

Update: E4200 Media Server Issues

Dear All,
Late last week engineering released beta firmware for the E4200 that should resolve the media server issues many have experienced. This firmware release will go through a cycle of testing internally as well as with members of the community that we have been working with. Once the firmware has gone through the required testing and approvals it will be released publicly. There is no ETA at the moment but we will update the community once a release window has been identified.

Dear All,
Here is an update on the media server issue.
"The media server issue is definitely a software issue as confirmed by the engineers. A fix has been built, tested and is close to release. The firmware is currently going through the Engineering release process. This process is time consuming as this firmware is open-source and requires that Cisco follows strict guidelines to ensure that they are in compliance with the GNU General Public License. Estimated release date is around 3rd or 4th week of September if there are no other issues."
As promised, we will keep track of this issue until a fix has been released. Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Linksys Wireless WRT610 media server issue, help appreciated.

Since I bought this router, the media server had been working okay.
suddenly one morning it stopped working and giving this message.
Trial expired, please visit http://twonkyvision.com
I called Linksys customer support, (which is not 'engineering dept' by the way, someone in Phillipins)
they had no clue what a UPnP media server is, and what twonky is ?
Linksys routers come preinstalled with twonkyvision media server software, but this one stopped working.
Any help ?

I've been havin the same troubles but i think i might have finally gotten it to work. TwonkyMedia is preinstalled on Linksys WRT610N and the "new" tab they created called "storage" interprets TwonkyMedia's actual media server pages into the Linksys configuration style.
Type in your browser http://your-router-iport/
Just like this http://192.168.0.1:9000/
It takes you to the actual TwonkyMedia setup pages in which Linksys hides from you. Click on the "Clients/Security" link in the left navigation area. I noticed that although it was set to allow new clients automatically, the client table was actually missing my Xbox 360 and PS3 as well as their static ip's.
Once i added them it worked again (cross my fingers). I can't wait until DD-WRT comes out with new custom firmware for this Linksys router. Its been good to me for awhile now but i hope this isn't a start of things going wrong with the router.

EA 6500 Media Server Drops Out

Media server works great until I get "Connection Lost" It requires a restart of the AE6500. I have tried stopping the media server and restarting then rescaning but this usually does not help. The FTP function does ot have this issue while streaming music. It only happens streaming Movies. I thought this was just a media server issue since it happens on the Roku (I have two) using its media app. But as it turns out, it also happens using plex on both the Samsung and Rokus (The PLEX media server is on my computer). Usually it only happens once and is fine after the router restart. USUALLY. It happened 4 times last night.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

You might reload the FW and set up from scratch and see if you can stablize it.
To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following:
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.
Are you streaming via wired or wireless when this happens?

E4200 Media Server failure

I have a WD USB with approx 70,000 songs on it. When I try and scan the Music, it gets approx halfway though the songs, then the Media Servers stops all communications.
The only way I can get the Media Server to recover is to power cycle the E4200
Any ideas anyone

Hi there.
Cisco recently released a beta firmware to be tested for the E4200 to fix media server issues.

E4200 - Media server capability

If your intention is to use the media server capabilities of this device look elsewhere. It hasn't worked since day one months ago when I was an early adopter, and Cisco has released two firmware updates to try and resolve the media server issues both of which have been a bust and required then to withdraw the update and roll their own advertised firmware back. Don't take my word for it, read it on their forums here: [...]

Hi. Cisco recently acknowledged the firmware flaw and is currently doing some beta tests to resolve the media server issue.

EA6500 DLNA media server MP3 not shown

Hi!
I have recently bought Linksys EA6500 router and attached a USB drive with some media (4000+ MP3 files, 7000+ photos, and 1000+videos). Everything works smoothly, even from Nexus 4 on wireless, but none of the MP3 files are showing up! Are there any known limitations in Twonky server (which this device apparently uses) in terms of naming files, subdirectory structure, anything? I tried rescanning the drive, although didn't try rebuilding database...
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Yes. There's a known limitation with Twonky Media Server that's built-in with your router: "maxfile-8000" - the license with Twonky limits the # of files to be scanned to 8000. This issue had been raised before and some acceptable reason is the "amount of cpu and ram need to deal with the db in memory" - of course, these routers have way much lower hardware specs, even compared to a smartphone running on Android 2.3.6 OS.
Here's the thread that was raised before:
http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/E4200-v2-Twonky-Media-Server-Issue-Default-quot-max...
Here are the links from Twonky Community Forum:

Domain issues with Flash Media Server

I have a webcam streaming to Flash Media Server via the Media
Encoder. I have published the .swf file with the flash player and
rtmp://99.999.999.999:1935/live/livestream address to my website on
a hosted webserver.
When I am on another internet source, the player on my
webpage loads and works fine. However when I load the webpage in a
browser on the same network that has the Media Server and Webcam on
it, the browser freezes up.
I need some help with a solution that will cause the rtmp://
address to switch to a local host address. Any suggestions.

WRT 610N and media server

On all PC's (4 Windows 7 Ultimate),XBox and PS3 is shows the media server but it says there is no media ! I have an external 40GB HDD connected to the USB port om the router and can connect to the drive. I have the latest firmware installed on the router, where am i going wrong ?

When you go to the storage tab @ 192.168.1.1 (aka advanced settings) is UPnP Media server enabled and have you specified a folder for it to scan?
By the way, what file types are stored on it?
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

Linux issue with Flash Media Server 2

Greetings all,
We have just upgraded from Flash Communication Server 1.5 to
Flash Media Server 2, running on a server with Redhat Enterprise
Linux 4.
For some reason, a Flash movie that uses the old
MediaPlayBack component does not stream video of a FLV. It does
stream audio. On my testing server using Windows 2000 it functioned
fine.
On the other hand, the FLVPlayback component works nicely.
But I will have to go back and rewrite literally dozens of
applications that I wrote for Flash Comm 1.5 which used the
MediaPlaybackComponent, unless there is an easy fix for this.
I have documented this anomaly with a Captivate movie which
you can see at
http://breeze.stfrancis.edu:8900/mediaplayerwoes/.
It runs 2 minutes 13 seconds.
I BADLY need help with this. If you can help I would greatly
appreciate it.

FLASH MEDIA SERVER 2.2 ISSUE

i have a videochat with about 500 user once a day it becones
slow and i have to restart flah media server. why?

The first time a SWF connects to your app, an application
instance is created . It remains in memory until you unload it,
unitil you restart it that is unload and then start the server
again or until it times out from inactivity. Even if you close all
connections to FCS that is , close the SWFs that are connected, the
app instance and all application variables remain in memory until
the instance unloads Although you can always restart the entire FCS
server. sometimes you only need to restart an individual app
instance.

Streaming large files issue (flash streaming media server)

We are streaming a one hour F4V from streaming media server 3.5.2 and for some reason it is seeing our one hour video as being 10 hours long. We have tons of other videos and never ran into this problem in any of the other files. This is the only file that exceeds one hour. Any ideas. This occurs in the default player from the streaming server.

Also before anyone asks we are using RTMP and the file type is F4V not FLV.

Flash media server 4 loadvars encoding issue.

LoadVars in flash media server 4 gives me HttpStatus 0. The same call in flash media server 3.5.1 works. Not sure what has changed in FSM 4 javascript engine related to encoding.
SessionID=9f2bc0eb%2d7d5d%2d42cf%2d9425%2db8211ee2b57e&filename=testfile%2eflv&contenttype =video%2fx%2dflv
Any pointers would be helpful.

Hi kanr ,
I tried this code on my FMS 4.0 server.
application.onAppStart = function() {
var entry = new LoadVars();
entry.SessionID="fffd9f3d-4712-4fd4-b6bb-c56ea9a30fba";
entry.filename="test.flv";
entry.type="video/x-flv";
var resp = new LoadVars();
resp.onData = function(data) {
trace("onData" );
resp.onHTTPStatus = function(status) {
trace("status: "+status);
entry.sendAndLoad("http://localhost:8134/cgi-bin/test.pl",resp,"POST");
I do get the HTTP Status as expected i.e 200 in onHTTPStatus. Are you trying something different from this that is not working. If required, you can provide me more details on [email protected]
Thanks,
Abhishek

What's the best way to setup a media server/central storage for all of my?

I was wondering what the best way to achieve a central media server for all my iTunes content + iPhoto's, calendar syncing and contact sharing is? This is what I currently have:
iMac 20" Aluminum + External HD Backup (kids)
Macbook Black (wife)
Macbook Pro 15" (me)
Airport Extreme 802.11n (obvious)
TimeCapsule 1TB (wifi backup for wife/me)
I would like to replace my PC in my office with a brand new Mac Pro Nehalem 8-Core, 8GB Ram, and 4TB, and replace my PC laptop in my living room attached to my tv, with an Apple TV.
I want to centralize all our Photos from vacations, etc. Music, videos, movies, that are currently split up over wife's macbook, kids imac and my macbook pro onto my soon to be purchased Mac Pro.
I want to be able to stream everything from my living room via Apple TV for when guests come over, dinner parties, etc. (plus I love apple and it keeps things clean)
I'm currently using MobileMe to sync all of our Calendars and Contacts with my main account, which is great, but MobileMe doesn't sync to family members accounts =
What would I need to do to centralize all this onto my future Mac Pro so that everyone has access all the time when they are home and the key here is, modify/update/change from their machines and sync it back/update it on the Mac Pro.
Also, I'm hoping Snow Leopard has some changes to iTunes to make this a little more possible, since we're right around the corner from this release. I don't really want to spend an additional $900+ on Snow Leopard Server to have to achieve these results, but if it makes it easier, and does the job, then I guess I might. This is all speculation though, since it's not out yet. I'd like to get this all sorted and setup within the next month.
I was considering a Drobo, they say they can throw up iTunes Server but, I appreciate everyone for reading this, and taking the time to respond!
Thanks!

I'm in the process of setting up a smaller (and cheaper) but somewhat similar setup to what you want to do, so maybe one example might help point you in the right direction. My needs consist of a centralized location for data storage, which will include iPhoto libraries (I keep two separate ones), iTunes (which I also want served to the home theater system), something other than my laptop to play internet videos and downloaded content on my TV, all with ideally the lowest cost and energy use possible.
My solution was the new Mini with a FW800 external drive as the server/media hub and Airport gigabit as the network hub (it also handles the backup drive).
FW800 is fast enough to saturate a gigabit ethernet link, so I don't consider that much of a bottleneck. The Mini then has iTunes running at all times with its centralized library on it; it is hooked to the home theater via HDMI-DVI video and optical audio, so it can play music and also handle videos when desired; Front Row with the Apple remote is close enough to an AppleTV that I think it handles that well, and it's more full-featured than an AppleTV. It can further be used to display photos/slideshows/whatever on the TV for guests or such, or to surf from the couch with a wireless mouse/keyboard. You can also toss in an EyeTV for $150 and use that as a DVR if you feel like it.
When I want to edit photos or such on my desktop, the gigabit link is fast enough that I can run iPhoto without noticing any significant slowdown. Its also usable over wireless, though I have a dangling extra network cable to plug into a laptop for full gigabit speed if need be. iTunes, of course, shares its library, which can be played from any of the computers in the house if so desired (iPhoto can do that too if you just want to display).
If I REALLY wanted top speed (though I've even done video editing in iMovie via ethernet without issue), I could use a third party synch app (I like Sync) to mirror any of the content from the mini server to a local drive; this works fine with anything but multi-way synching, such as address books being modified in different locations. I'd probably try to set up one of those Mobile Me clone systems or use a 3rd party app if I needed to do that.
Again, maybe this isn't powerful enough or "synched" enough in terms of local storage for your taste, but the advantage is that a Mini uses a minute fraction of the power of a Mac Pro, so you're saving a lot on electricity if the computer will be powered up at all times as a server, and it's also a lot more full-featured as a home theater media hub than an AppleTV. And, heck, the thing is about as well equipped as my old top-of-the-line G5 tower for a 5th the cost and 1/15th the power and noise.
