HomeHub 2, Xbox360 and media streaming from ReadyN...

OK, I'm fed up and perplexed with this one. I've had kit in the subject hooked up for a little while now. LAN is wireless and the NAS is hardwire connected to the hub. My PC can access the data on the NAS wirelessly absolutely fine.
I was under the impression that I should be able to access the media from my Xbox wthout the PC serviing the content via another app. In fact until yesterday I'd pretty much given up.
Then yesterday, I tried again - and lo and behold I was playing music and movies via my Xbox to TV and Hi-Fi, wirelessly, and no PC serving the content. On the Xbox guide, it could "see" the NAS by name, and list all media contents. Lovely!
This morning, the Xbox can't even see the NAS.
What's changed? nothing. Both devices have merely been powered off overnight. I've restarted console and hiub. No difference.
Can someone, somewhere, explain what is going on here?
If there is some config of the hub settings I can modify I'd happily try.
Ideally I'd like some direct help from BT tech support on this, but would welcome any solid advice from other customers too.
thanks

Thanks once more
After changing router settings to fixed IPs for devices, that is behaving ok. I've now also told the NAS to mirror that fixed IP setting. All seems ok there too. However the Xbox still cannot see it as a network resource, whereas my PC can see the NAS content just fine. I think the issue is somewhere in the UPnP/DLNA mix between the NAS and console. Oddly enough when I went to the NAS forum, I can stilll see some of my earlier messages where there are plenty of reads, and no useful replies! I might post once more as I cannot believe I am the only person in the UK with that BT hub, Xbox and NAS!
Was going to suggest twonky but have been beaten to it however, I had a similar problem and discovered what I had done was share a root folder, it wasn't the fact that the ps3 and xbox couldn't see the nas box, it actually couldn't 'see' the share. To solve this I created a folder say media created a subfolder called media shared that then added folders for pictures, video and music.
But I think that twonky would be the best solution and turn your nas into a media centre.

How do photos end up in my Camera Roll and Photo Stream from a back-up wirelessly?

How do photos end up in my Camera Roll and Photo Stream from a back-up wirelessly?

Photos taken with your iPhone go into Camera Roll and added to Photo Stream.
After 30 days, photos will be removed from Photo Stream. They will say in Camera Roll.
You should download Photo Stream photos to your computer regularly so you have them.

Streaming from ReadyNAs Duo

Hi there,
Now that the Apple TV (2nd Generation) doesn't have any storage capability - does anyone know if it is possible to stream music, video and photo media directly from my ReadyNas Duo to AppleTV?

Only if that is where your iTunes library is. ATV2 uses the home sharing of iTunes to take it's local video, music and photo streams.
Cheers

Simultaneous photo and music streaming from itunes

I was wondering if its Possible to have a slideshow streamed from itunes while simultaneously browsing and listening to music streamed to the ATV2?
I'd like to have the slideshow as a "screensaver" on the tv while picking songs to play from my iTunes library. Is even a playlist possible?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't browse and watch a slideshow at the same time, but you can choose your music prior to starting a slideshow.
Again you can't have the screensaver running and browse for music at the same time, but you can choose music to play and let the screensaver start.

SWF Verification and HTTP Streaming from FMS 4.0.1

Is it possible to do SWF Verification with HTTP Streaming? (If calling the box directly)
My gut says No, and I haven't seen any examples or mentions of this in the forums, and I was hoping I could get a clear cut answer from someone that has either tried it or from Adobe.
Thanks.
-Will

Hi,
As of now, you cannot use SWFVerification to protect HTTP Streaming, as HTTP Streaming does not require connection with core process of FMS, but request is handled by f4f module in apache. The current way to ensure protection of HTTP streams is to use Flash Access for encryption of fragments. You can find more about Flash Access here at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashaccess/
Thanks,

Can I setup multiple apple tv 2's in my house in seperate rooms and still stream from 1 iMac/iTunes?

I have an iMac 27" 2011 model and i recently purchased an Apple TV 2 and I am able to stream movies and music to it. I would like to buy 2 more apple tvs for two more tvs in my home, and I'm wandering A: if 1 iTunes and 1 iMac could stream to all of them and B: if you can stream a different movie to each device at the same time? Please help!!!

Either Apple were confused about what you were asking them one you were confused by what they told you, one library and multiple Apple TV's is perfectly possible, I have one library and 7 Apple TV's

Inquiry - Best Linksys/Cisco router for Gaming and Media Streaming?

Help! I live in a two bedroom town home and have an old little Belkin router. I'm switching to a Linksys but I need to know which model is best for my home. I have two sons that share a room and they both play XBox live, usually at the same time. I'm usually using the internet or watching a movie on Netflix with my wife. Sometime both while the boys are playing upstairs. I don't need multiple USB ports or gigabit ports. I wouldn't know what to do with them. I just want something faster than what I have now. We have Time Warner Cable's Roadrunner internet service if that helps.

I would recommend EA4500 as it is a high performance router for home entertainment which is ideal for faster streaming of HD video and music plus multiplayer gaming. Please click on the following link to know more features of this router: http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/Routers/Linksys-EA4500-Dual-Band-N900-Router-with-Gigabit-USB_stcVV...

Windows media stream from behind firewall

I'm hoping someone in the know can help me. I need to open a port on a
firewall, to allow Windows Media Encoder on one of our LAN workstations to
connect with a Windows Media Server on the outside of the firewall. Where
do I configure ports with Bordermanager? Do I use brdcfg.nlm? filtcfg.nlm?
Something else?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Actually this forum is for questions about the Novell Client Firewall
that ships with Border Manager 3.8 The most appropriate place for your
question is novell.support.bordermanager.packet-filtering
However to answer your question. If use a version prior to 3.7 you use
filtcfg.nlm If using 3.7 or 3.8 you use iManager.

Airport Extreme, 5Ghz connectivity problems and poor media streaming

Hi,
I purchased an extreme from the apple store a little over a week ago, and before I send the device back I would like to solicit recommendations from this forum.
Some information about the setup:
- Single airport extreme (supplying wifi services for my non-wifi DSL router and a connected USB disk)
- Airport Extreme Firmware: 7.4.2
- iTunes: 9.0
- OS: Snow Leopard (10.6.1), Leopard (10.5.8), Window Vista.
- Harddrive: 2TB lacie, USB2.0 connection only
- 2.4 and 5 Ghz broadcasting mode
- The device is broadcasting on all supported protocols.
- Multiple clients (various: apple, microsoft, fujitsu)
- Small space, no major concrete/brick/stone walls, signal strength is 5 bars of goodness
- Country: Spain (I know there were 5Ghz restrictions here a while ago, but the device broadcasts on 5Ghz and is therefore not crippled).
If anything else could be of use, let me know and I'll update this list.
And now the problems:
1) 5Ghz connections fail
When connecting over the 5Ghz freq my connectivity to the extreme and the services it is offering (internet, disk sharing) is intermittent, at best. Basically, it has not worked reliably since I took it out of the box. This is equal for both of my macbooks and a fujitsu laptop (all with n support).
I've tried switching channels to avoid congestion - I don't live in a wifi-heavy area, and there are no other likely sources of interference (e.g. microwaves, cordless phones).
My connections to mounted disks come and go, I have to re-authenticate, and so on.
A general scan of the environment with KisMac does not show any major interference from other wifi networks (only 2 others in range, one is wimax).
I've tried to do some wifi analysis to see if I can spot any frame/packet related issues. Some rudimentary analysis indicates that when the connection stops working on the 5Ghz channel my laptop continually sends request-to-send packets to the extreme, but does not receive a clear-to-send. This occurs after a-few-seconds to a-couple-of-minutes of connectivity - the connection initially 'works' (i.e. wifi packets are sent/received correctly and I can access the internet).
2) Data access and media streaming from the connected USB drive is very poor
I've mostly had problems with itunes. I thought this might be related to the size of my library, but this shouldn't effect single track playing. Even enabling large buffering in itunes results in intermittent pauses and long track loading.
Note: this occurs over b/g connections; as stated already, n connections don't work. iTunes simply goes into a coma for while and then eventually fails. See above. Also, if I just stream from my macbook (i.e. HD connected via USB), it works flawlessly.
The extreme was running 7.4.2 - updated on first connection. It's now running 7.4.1, as I read on the forums that there were some perceived problems with 7.4.2 (although these perceptions may not be accurate.
Concl(f)usion:
I believe I've ruled out the following:
- Distance
- Interference
- Laptop related issues (the same problem occurs with 2 macbooks and a fujitsu laptop).
- Latest firmware
- Software (apps, OS, etc)
Which leaves me to ponder two possibilities:
a) The extreme is damaged.
b) The extreme is not a good product (surely this can't be so?!)
There is, of course, a c-possibility ... that the collective experience of the online community might be able to offer me an alternative path?
I would be very grateful if anyone could offer any suggestions, tips, tricks, spells or simply a hug before I contact apple to begin the process of explaining the issues and seeking some care.
Many thanks in advance,
Dave.

I have had the same problem. Really frusrtating, expecially since the reason I bought the airport was because of all the wireless congestion in my neigborhood with only 11 channels on the 2.4 GHz spectrum.
Bought my airport dual band about a week ago. It had the firware 7.4.2. After extensive searching, I found other with similar issues. Apparently the last stable firmware may be 7.3.8. I am on 7.4.0 and not having any issues any longer (only testing one day now).
This may solve your issue. Login to your airport and choose manual setup. on the summary page, find 'Version' 7.x" and click on the word 'version'. This will allow you to rollback your firmware. I went with 7.4. Depending on what options you need with airdisk, Time Capsule, rolling back may remove those options, so experiment. You can always go back to 7.4.1 or 7.4.2 from within the interface.
Hope this helps.

Minimum requirements to stream from and sync to?

I am considering purchasing an AppleTV and was hoping to use my old 533MHz G4 PowerMac as the "host" for my media. I'm running Tiger Server on it with a wire connection to my AirPort Extreme (802.11n). I know the PowerMac itself can't play the HD video based on iTunes 9 requirements but I am hoping I can plug my 1TB drive into it and still stream from and sync back to it.
Any thoughts on the possibility this will work?

as long as you can get the latest and greatest iTunes running on it, it should work fine...
Min Rec for iTunes..
Macintosh Software
Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later; Mac OS X version 10.5 or later is required to play an iTunes LP or iTunes Extras
QuickTime 7.6 or later
Support for HE-AAC requires QuickTime 7.6.4 and Mac OS X version 10.5 or later
Safari 4 or later
200MB of available disk space

Media Streaming (Buffering)

I need a fix to keep media streaming from starting and stopping. I do not have Fios in my area. I am running High Speed Internet (DSL) on Windows 7. Help!

Alrighty. Visit http://192.168.1.1/ and tell me what speed the modem is reporting on the main page. Additionally, visit http://www.measurementlab.net/measurement-lab-tools#tool1 OR use http://www.speedtest.net/ and perform a speed test.

Streaming from multiple servers

Hello,
I have a server in Israel with Flash Streaming server
installed.
If I'll buy another server and host it in the US, what do I
need to do in order to broadcast from it also.
1. Do I have to broadcast twice from the source or can I
broadcast to one server and it will pass the stream to the other?
2. Do I need to purchase another FMS license?
Thanks.

You said you have Flash Streaming Server - do you mean FMSS.
If yes, I am sorry you will have to broadcast to both servers from
your source. There is no way you can republish from server itself
as you have no control to do that on FMSS - you cant write your own
apps and also cant modify live and vod apps. Now if you meant FMIS,
then there are two ways you can achieve it:
1. Like how JayCharles suggested, you can use remote play and
play stream from your US server.
2. Better way would be to use Multi-point publish, once you
get stream published at your Isreal server, just get hold of it in
application.onPublish handler and use new NetStream class on
Server-side to republish it to our US server. However note that
Multi-point publish is available only from FMS 3.0 release.

Anyone else having issues when streaming from veetle using safari over wifi?

I like many others have been having issues with my wifi on my iPhone 5 (sometimes when connected to wifi it just freezes up and I need to do a reboot or reset network settings to get it back up and running). In any case, that wasn't bothering me too much but I've noticed now that the veetle web site that I use sometimes to stream shows from on my iPhone stops showing video after a few seconds when using wifi. If i switch to my LTE connection or 3G it works fine but it's only when running with wifi that it has a problem. It will begin to stream a show properly then after a few seconds the video will cut out though the sound keeps playing. My iPad doesn't exhibit the same problems and can stream from veetle perfectly over my wifi. Anyone else out there having similar issues? This will be annoying if i'm travelling out the country and depending solely on wifi for my data and not being able to stream sports and tv shows from Veetle. Just wanted to see how commonplace this problem was. Thanks

All spring and summer Netflix/fios has been a problem. I have used a tool that goes beyond simple speed tests and gets to dividing up thE problem. It appears that the problems reside with fios, however true to form Verizon repair denies any problem (go figure) .

Hi,
Are you trying to make an air app or a web application (flash) for streaming? You may want to check out the osmf framework to help you write a player for mobile platform. Check out http://www.opensourcemediaframework.com/ for more info on how you can write streaming video players using this framework. There are some good tutorials there and also you may post on the forum to get your specific queries solved.
Thanks,
Abhishek
