Linking Cisco Linksys E3000 uPnP media server to non uPnP Home Theater system

Hi,
I have a Cisco Linksys E3000 Wireless Router. My home theater system does not have uPnP capabilities. That is it doesn't have the uPnP client like a PS3 or a Wii.
Is there a uPnP client that I can buy for the specific purpose of connecting to my home theater system via ethernet.
The resulting connection graph will be as follows: NAS (via USB) to E3000, E3000 to uPnP client (using ethernet), uPnP client to Home Theater system using audio in or HDMI.
Thanks for your help!

If your Home Theater system has Ethernet port then I think you can try wireless bridge ( WET610N ) to make it wireless.

Cisco Linksys E3000 - Open DNS Error

I just purchased a Cisco Linksys E3000 and got it set up pretty much the way I want it. My only remaining problem is I wish to used Open DNS as my DNS server. On Line chat support says,"Please access router set up. Under the set up tab you will see the option for DNS1 and DNS2 please change it to 208.87.222 & 208.67.220 and save settings". I replied"I am on the basic set up page and currently I see Static DNS 1 thru 3 which are currently all zeros is that where you want me to put the new DNS numbers?"
I made the changes as directed, saved and also flushed the DNS cache in Windows and in Firefox, rebooted and everything worked great.
The problem is if the computer goes to sleep or is shut down when it restarts it cannot find the DNS server! What am I missing?
Thanks

Thanks for your help. This one really has me baffled
As you can see below the static DNS is set to 3 adddresses for Open DNS and everthing works fine.untill either the computer goes to sllep or is shut down. Then the router can no longer locate a DNS server. The only way I can find to get everything working again is to zero out the address for Open DNS and reboot the router which somehow reestablises the DNS servers as:
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . 156.154.119.11
                                       156.154.129.11
                                       192.168.1.1
You can also this below and I hope you have some idea of what is happening. I never had this problem before with any other routers on this system.
Thanks,
Chick

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.

Cisco Linksys E3000

Hi experts,
our company just bought a Cisco Linksys E3000 wireless router which we will be using as Access Point. So we connected the LAN port to vlan 10 which have DHCP but we static the IP, say 192.168.10.2/24, Gw=10.1 then the disabled the NAT. The router's IP is set to 192.168.20.2 and dhcp is disabled on the router since we wanted the 10.x dhcp to issue the ip to users. However we want to have a remote access and even if the remote access management is enabled, we cannot ping the 10.2 and web gui cannot connect. The only option we have is to connect a cross cable to one of its LAN port and connect to https://192.168.20.2 (the router's internal ip). we wanted to have remote access wirelessly. can someone help?
thanks

please move this question to the smb community or to linksys support.
Thanks.

Link iPhone to Sony DAV-DX155 Home Theater System

Does anyone know how I can link my iPhone to play music through my Sony home theater system which is model DAV-DX155? I believe it would have to be a particular cable but I dont know which cable that would be. Please help. Thanks!

One thing that might help out.
A cable from the headphone jack to your system might be the way to go.

WRT610N UPnP Media Server failing after minutes online

Hi,
I have a WRT610N and I'm having issues with the media server. I have upgraded to the latest firmware and setup sharing and UPnP etc. When I initially plug in my USB hard drive (1TB Seagate Freeagent) it is discoverable by devices on my network (Xbox 306 & Linksys Kiss1600) and I can browse shared media it has indexed. This only lasts for less than 5 mintues, then the WRT610N dissappears from both devices (Xbox & K1600) and I can no longer use the media server.
Disk sharing still works OK, it's only the media server that fails.
Any help would be really appreciated as I'm about to launch it out the window.
Thanks,
James

Are your devices connected to the media server via a cabled or wireless connection ?
If its wireless - then i suspect you have a faulty WRT610, the wireless chipsets inside the WRT610N are well known for overheating and dropping all connections.
Should be pretty stable using a cabled connection though.

Linksys E4200 and Media server

Hello all,
I have configured my router as a media server with an usb hdd samsung. There is no problem until 10 minutes but after this time the server disappear in the network and I need to save again the configuration each time to see it, what is it wrong?

no my main problem is I use linksys webcams and when I accumuliate over 6000-8000 or so small .jpg's on the drive you can access the drive with any utilitys that I have used. They all freeze up. I also have troubles with the router freezing up if you use the web utility to browse the folder holding the .jps's
please fix the E4200 media server in .02 firmware

HP Media Server or MacMini for home media server

I am torn between the new HP media server with Windows Home server or a MacMini for my home server.
Can anyone provide insight on which would be better?
I am looking to store all my media, data on either one. I.E. Pictures, Music/Video - to stream to AppleTV etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I know you have already marked the question as solved, but if you are still torn between the HP or Mac Mini here is what I did.
Although the HP has more storage space, I went for the Mac Mini option because; the foot print is smaller if you want to put under a TV, it uses less electricity and I felt Mac OSX was a more stable platform to work with.
The Mac Mini use a 2.5" Sata drive, so you are limited in upgrading past 320GB. There is a 2.5" 500GB drive out however I don't know if it will fit as when I read about it six months ago the article said it is slightly thicker, but I could be wrong.
To get around the problem of storage space, I attached a 1TB SATA hard drive via Firewire, which cost about £120. Although there are cheaper 1TB hard drives around, I went for one with an Oxford Chipset as it is always going to be on and I didn't want it to fry out.
I connect to the Mac Mini remotely to manage it. It's dead easy to set up file sharing, and I ended up giving my brother and dad there own storage space that they can log into with a username and password. One uses XP and the other uses Leopard.
The other great thing is you can configure iTunes and system preferences to automatically rip a CD or DVD and add it to the library then eject automatically when it is done. This may be obvious but it is incredibly useful feature, as it saves having to rip it on your personal computer then transferring the files.
The streaming capability of the Intel Core Duo is really good, so far we have been able to get it to stream to the AppleTV, 2 MacBooks and 1 Sony Vaio, while converting an avi movie to MP4 through Visual Hub, it might be able to handle more iTunes streaming we just ran out of computers to test it with.
Hope this helps in any decision making.

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.

Linksys E3000 Port Flooding with Uverse DVR (IPTV)

I spent days trying to get a wireless router to work with my Uverse DVR. I have a router-behind-router configuration (ignoring the WAN port of the router & using it effectively as a switch) because my Uverse RG is in a remote section of the house and I have a CAT5 over to our entertainment room where I need two services: Uverse DVR and wireless network. I did exhaustive research and testing. The wireless router gave fantastic wireless performance, but as soon as I turned on the DVR, the ports would flood and the wireless network would become inactive. I could use the wireless network or watch TV, but not both at the same time. My router was a CISCO Linksys E3000 and I tried every type of tweak and configuration. I also tried two other Linksys routers I own (WRT610N & WRT54G) with the exact same results. I purchased a Netgear WNDR3700. By the technical specs, the E3000 and the WNDR3700 should be nearly identical. I quickly configured the Netgear WNDR3700 in the same exact router-behind-router configuration and it worked like a charm. I didn't need to any special configuration of DMZ, QOS or anything else on the Netgear. Other than the static IP for the router-behind-router, it was a plain vanilla configuration and set-up.
If anyone knows why the Linksys E3000 does not work, I would be curious to know, but it does not matter since my Netgear is working like a charm. I would also like to note that CISCO has been very helpful, but these things can be quite complex.

Hey kturner
I allmost have the same configuration like you(router behind router, - 1. router D-link 624, 2. router E3000.
The connection is as follows: ADSL to 1. router, cableconnecting switchport to 2. router (ADSL internet in) with first router
set to route LAN to LAN which gives an address on 2. router(E3000) 192.168.0.96 as in adress from the 1. router.
The E3000 then sets up it's own routingtable vithout any problem.
On the configurationspage you have to fill in at least the DNS 1. and if you haveallso DNS 2.
I've set my QoS via mac-address to my DVR and TV to high.
As both my TV and DVR is Samsung I had the problem with my TV and Samsungs Wireles Link System until
I turned it off.
And now it's all working: Streaming video from the HD on E3000
Hope itøs helpfull and god luck

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.

WRT610N v20090121 Media Server Problem!

Since upgraded to the newfirmware, I was not able to view any video that was on the usb hardrive or flashdisk through my PS3 or PC via UPNP Media Server. I'm able to view or change the file through my network, but I want to be able to stream it to my PC or PS3. I did try to restore to default and configure my settings again after update. Anyone else had the following problems? Please let me know I'm not alone. Now I'm back to prior firmware, at least it's working fine for me.
Please post in this thread if you had the same issue. Thanks.

You must reset the router and re-configure it after the Upgrade as it is highly recommended, make sure that no hard drive is connected while resetting the router...

What Media Server software is used in in stock WRT1900AC FW?

I'm having issues with my BluRay Player streaming movies from my router and wondered if someone could let me know some info about the DLNA/uPNP media server that's used by the WRT1900AC on stock FW.
I belive it's a version of Twonky, please can anyone provide any more info?

You might ask Chadster, he may know...

Do I really need Adobe Media Server?

I am planning to set up a server on the Internet, with media files of different types. I just started investigating all the Media Servers out there. Much to my surprise (!!), I discovered that:
- Using Firefox, MP3 files are played directly by some built-in player
- Using MS Internet Explorer, MP3 files are played directly by MS Windows Media Player
Similarly for MP4 files.
http://patriot.net/~ramon/jfk/MaddowOReilly.mp3
http://patriot.net/~ramon/jfk/MaddowOReilly.mp4
IOW:I do not necessarily need any special software at the server side. This is as easy as serving some HTML files!
That (those 2 file types) should cover a wide percentage of my needs. My problem remains some huge WAV files which are going to be used for Voice Identification, Sound Analysis, etc. (Audition stuff) and *must* be of the highest quality possible.
Which begs the question:
In what environment do I need some sort of Media Server?
TIA

Hi Ramon
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Adobe Media Server is a Video streaming server and the need would arise in the following scenarios:
++ You would like to stream (broadcast, multicast or live unicast) to a client machine on the same or different subnet.
++ You would like to host all your sample VOD's on the server for the clients to access them.
Please find the following link in reference to "Adobe Media Server Family":
Media server for streaming video | Adobe Media Server family
Playing video and the MP4 files on Firefox, Internet is on the client's end, but, the same files if are to be hosted at a common location (root) for all different clients to access them, its then a Media Server comes into picture.

Diana John

WRT610N after firmware upgrade lost connection to USB storage en Twonky media server not working

Hi,
I had firmware 1.00.00.B18 running on my WRT610N. I had successfully connected a 1.5Tb USB disk to the router and The UPnP media server (Twonky Media server 4.4) was running OK. Except that the Media Server sometimes had problems with its license key.
I read somerwhere on this forum that a firmwareupgrade would help so I installed 1.00.03.B15.
Since then the router will not see my harddisk anymore and the media server also has vanished. Access thrue http://192.168.1.1:9000/ to the Twonky server shows now "page not found".
The 1.5Tb disk is FAT32 formatted. I tried a smaller USB disk and supprisingly that one is recognized by the router. I ran several Harddisk test and repair programs on the 1.5Tb and they show no faults.
The only thing I have not yet tried is resetting the router.
Can you help?
