Linksys WRT610 Firmware 2.00.00 B05 media server

Has anyone been able to get the twonky media server to work? i cannot seem to get it to work no matter what i do. ive tried to set it up through connecting to it on 192.168.1.1 i enabled the upnp server and set the folder and it just never shows up anywhere.
i can connect to the hdd as a mapped drive no problem but the media server portion just will not work. i tried to connect directly to the twonky server which in old firmware was 192.168.1.1:9000 and it has no luck connecting. I tried to telnet and ssh into it via another google suggestion and i couldnt do that either.
how the hell do i get the media server setup and working?

As you have already resetted your router and re-configured all the settings on it again and still its not working, then i think you should try using the twonky media server and check using twonky media server are you able to access the media server on your XBOX or on your PS3.
As the twonky media server is more stable and many users have used it and it works perfectly fine.

When EA4500 Firmware is going to be released to fix Media Server Limitation?

Hi,
anyone has idea if Linksys if providing a firmware upgrade to fix Twonky Media Server limitation over 8000+ files, which is quite annoying?
Should i return this item?
Anyone can recommend any other Brand which offers this feature without limitations?
Thanks!

Many people have complained for almost 18 months and they haven't changed it so that should tell you something.

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.

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?

I have followed the reset procedure but the situation stays the same.

Linksys WRT1900AC Media Server Problem

Ok first ill explain my setup.... I have a WRT54G setup as a Repeater Bridge (DD-WRT) grabbing internet outta the air from a neighbor and then a cat-5 cable running from port 1 out of that router to internet in of my 1900AC... Everything works great as expected and I get great speed, 15megs down 15megs up.. Exacly what is paid for..I have the 1900AC setup as a media server using Hiperv+ on my iPads and iPhones to steam movies and music.When Im home it works fantastic!!!! When I leave the house and my iPhone is on its own data i startup HipServ+ and under HOME NETWORK at the botttom of the app it says ROUTERRobert S. (Online: Router is not connected directly to the internet)and is red instead of green.... Is there a port closed or a setting I need to check on my WRT54G bridge to make my 1900AC think its plugged directly into the cable modem??? Thanks in advanced for any suggestions / help Rob

Thanks I already setup there modem as DMZ..... I have the cable modem DMZ pointed to the Bridge (WRT54G) ip and then setup the Bridge (WRT54G) to DMZ to the WRT1900AC's ip.. I dont belive its a NAT issue as everything works excelent at home its only when i leave..And the App see's the Router online just somthing blocking it from the outside world...

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.

Can't get PS3 to see computer media server

Ok..I have an older WRT54G V2 router (with newest firmware). Both my computer with the media server and the PS3 have access to the internet. However, I cannot get them to see each other. I've read through other posts, but it seems my router is a bit dated compared to most discussions.
I just switch internet providers..The last one I didn't need a linksys and I could get the PS3 to see the media server just fine. With my new provider I have a modem hooked to the linksys.
Any hints/suggestions would be helpful.

When your Computer and the PS3 is connected to the Linksys Router you need to Re-Enable the Media Server settings on your PS3 as well as on your PC.
You can try this like to re-enable the Media Server between your PS3 and your PC.

When is the WRT610n media server going to support mkv files?????

I bought the WRT610n because it had the twonkyvision media server bundled, which I have been using for years to stream from computers to my Dlink media players. They just updated the firmware a few weeks ago but did not update the media server to a version that supports mkv files. Why?

Probably because mkv is not 'mainstream' enough to warrant providing support.
if you need it there is an mkv to avi converter here

E3000 USB Storage / Media Server - Web access?

I just set up an E3000 router and haven't any problems so far. I have a question about the USB storage and/or Media Server though.
I hooked up a USB drive to the router, and it works just fine via Windows Explorer. Is there a way to access it through a web browser though? I'd like to access the drive from my Wii if that's possible, so is there a way, possibly with the media server? Mainly, I want to play videos from the drive on my TV, but I don't have a fancy internet-enabled TV
Thanks in advance.

I think you can try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router and upgrade the firmware on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on your router, reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.

E3000 Media Server - Remote Access?

I got the the e3000 media server setup and can play all my music through it on all my PCs. Really Cool.
Is there a way I can access this media from another location (WAN side)?
I'm going to a party this weekend and my job was to have the music. Instead of copying my entire library (4.5GB) to my laptop, I was hoping I could access my library on the router USB port from his connection. Is this do-able? I am running Linksys 1.0.0.4 firmware now from Dec 2010.

Well i don't think you have an option to access media server from the remote location?
But you can access your drive from the remote location using FTP feature.

E4200 - Media Server Claim

This unit works well for a router, but so does the E3200. The E4200 is claimed, by Cisco, to be capable of being a UPnP/DLNA Media Server when a hard drive is connected to it's USB port on the back. What they don't tell you is that only a handful of Flash and Hard Drives are actually supported. I tried two USB 2.0 devices. A WD Passport (WD1600XMS-00) at 160GB and a Memorex Flash Drive at 2GB and neither were recognized by the device. And this is after upgrading the firmware. Most of the advantage of this product over the E3200 is the Media Server, but if you don't have one of the handful of storage devices supported, then forget it.
Also, there is no range advantage over any Wifi device I have ever used since before my Linksys WRT54G I bought about 7 years ago.
What's great about it: Nothing over the E3200
What's not so great: Media Server, Range

As per the scenario that you explained that even after upgrading the firmware WD Passport (WD1600XMS-00) at 160GB and a Memorex Flash Drive at 2GB neither were recognized by the Router... But after upgrading the firmware did you reset the Router and configured it back...
Secondly you need to download Cisco Connect 1.4 from the Cisco website (homesupport.cisco.com ) which contains the Virtual USB setup for the E4200 and the E3200 routers... Then only Your USB hard drive or memory stick can be installed and shared on multiple computers using the same Cisco Connect setup....
As far as wireless is concern both the Routers are dual-band Wireless-N Router... So that it means it has 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies...
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161..

WRT350N Media Server does not serve music up to a Directv HR20

I have a Directv HR20. This device is a UPnP device that is capable of playing Music/Picutres on the TV/Stero system using a media server software. The intention of my purchase of the WRT350N router was to install a 500GB USB drive onto the router and use the media server software to supply music and photos onto the Dirctv HR20 DVR. This has not been an easy task. I can see the pictures and play the pictures without an issue. I contacted Linksys support via the Live chat and spoke with them explaining how the media server is suppose to supply the music as well and the Directv HR20 is ecpecting a LPCM trascoder to work. They assured me that they would pass this information up to the development team. This was almost a month ago and I have not heard back from them yet. I downloaded the beta version of the firmware and tried it, but it to did not work. Other media server software does in fact work like Nero 7 media server and Twonky media server software. I currently use the Nero 7 media server software on my PC to serve music and photos to the Dirctv HR20.
The Directv HR20 uses a WET54g currently to connect to the home network. I will need to update this to a "n" type of connection when a game adapter or bridge device is avliable for "n".
So now here I sit with an expensive USB drive and I cannot use it for the music side of the media server portion of the WRT350N.
Any help would be appreciated!
Message Edited by Spanky_Partain on 07-24-2007 07:35 AM

It is really hard to believe that Linksys is not interested in fixing this issue. The Directv equipment that is DLNA compliant to Doc 1.0 and the Samsung LN52A860 which is also DLNA compliant will NOT see the media server and take advantage of the USB storage device that has Music and Photos stored on them.
Come on Linksys by Cisco, get your firmware compliant to the standards the industry is following and STOP tyring to write your own!
