WRT610N Media Server

I just installed a WRT610N, I can see the Main Network but not the Media Network. Everything went fine getting to the Main. I set up the Media Network witha different name and password, everything seem to go fine.
Only the Main Network shows up on the wireless list in my laptop.
When I treid to get my PS3 to the Media Network, it could not find it even though I entered everything manually. The Laptop could not find it either.
I called support who was willing to attempt to fix it for a $9 charge, I had just bought it so I was not going to pay anything. They said a Tech would call me but not yet.
I am assuming that I simply missed a check box or something. Any ideas?

Have you enabled the Media Server on the router..Check this link.

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

WRT610N + PS3 + Media Server, does it work?

Hi All
New here so please bear with me
A simple question can the WRT610N media Server be seen by a PS3? and if so how?
There seems to be very little detail out there.
Thanks

It absolutely will work. If you are lucky enough to have an external HDD that is seen by the router. A lot of HDD's are not seen anymore since the 1.00.02B10 firmware upgrade. Turn on sharing to the HDD, then enable the media server and it will show up in the PS3's menu.
Have fun!

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.

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.

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...

EA6500 Media Server Error Message trying to play MPGE files "File is Corrupt or not supported"

To all
I have another Media Server on a WRT610N router and I am able to play the files properly. Is this a bug on the EA6500 Media Server implementation.?

I see. I understand Cisco just recently released this model in the market so probably there would be more tests to be done for further isolation and come up with a fix solution if proven to be really an issue. I guess for now we'll stand by for updates and just make the best out of Cisco's one of the top of the line routers.

WRT160NL DLNA Media Server Unstable (Twonky Media)

I have an NTFS formatted USB disk drive (Western Digital My Passport Essential Black 320 GB WDBAAA3200ABK) attached to the WRT160NL wireless router (Firmware Version 1.0.02), and I have video, picture and music files on the USB disk drive in three folders: Videos, Music, Pictures. Auto-scan is disabled, I scan the media files manually by clicking on the 'Scan All' button.
PROBLEM 1
The worst problem is that the router is very sensitive to files that can't be recognized by the router as media files. For example if there are subtitle files (*.str) between the media files, then strange and nondeterministic things happen: some valid media files are skipped and not included in the media database; some files included but the file names are mixed. The most irritating in the bug is that there is no log file, where you could find the problem, and so you never know which file cause the problem, and you have to browse through all the files hunting for the cause.
PROBLEM 2
When the router is in the process of scanning the media files, then the internet (WAN) connection often can't be used, although the router can be accessed and the status says it is connected to the internet.

WRT610N maybe have the samme problem, Media Server USB HDD
Ex, if you edit a playlist *.M3U and do a manuell SCANNING it will recogized the different (because the date is diff ?) If you edit again and make a second scanning (samme date) the playlist dissapear and IS GONE until you reconnect the Hdd or renamme the playlist.
EX2 : A file named   13 - Ricky Martin - Livin La Vida.mp3 and you renamme it 12 - Ricky Martin - Livin La Vida.mp3 the file is gone from Media Server !
Normal use, you add a file , NO problem but it seams getting confused when you edit/renamme/move files.
I solve it like this EVERY TIME -
Disabled Media Server
Rename media folder
Enabled Media Server
Scan the renamed folder
It works   !

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.

Setup a home file/Media server with no internet access

Hi,
I have a home network with a wifi router connected to an Adsl modem. I try to setup a new server (macbook pro with Yosemite as OS) which will be only used as file and media server for my local network.
I DO NOT want this server to have access to out of my local network and no one out of my local network could access it. in other words, it has to be isolated as a local server with no incoming/outgoing access from out of my local network.
I should mention that this server can be accessed by other family members and they can setup other applications without my awareness... and I do not want to manually deny each access request (in or out) in the server's firewall and I am not always behind the server. I want to be sure that "all access" from/to out of my local network are denied.
my local network dhcp rang is 192.168.10.10 to 192.168.10.20 and I have a firewall on the router and one on this server (little snitch).
I have no idea how to do this, how to configure IPs out of my local network in the firewalls etc...
I would appreciate if anyone can help me (I have a limited knowledge about networking)
Many thanks
Bye

Thanks for your reply ChuckBing.
Unfortunately I had already copied the instructions I found in the Sun documentaion to the letter and it still needed access to the internet. In the end I solved the problem by pointing the iepluginurl to a non existent file and putting a URL, pointing to an offline JRE executable on the server, as the message that appears when the applet cannot be loaded. The clients then have the choice of downloading the JRE or installing it online by clicking on the URL.
Thanks anyway.

How do I use Adobe Media Server 5 on Amazon Web Services?

Adobe Media Server 5 on Amazon Web Services was suggested to my project manager as a way to deal with some of the video we have to host at work, but after signing up and poking around, I'm wondering: how do you actually use it? Is it something that requires the Media Server software, or is there a web interface through AWS? I follow the links, and they tell me it's already active for my account - but I still see no way to use it.
Thanks in advance for help on this seemingly remedial question!

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.

Track recordings on new Quantum Media Server vs 2 DVR's Help

Folks
I have had 2 DVR's with multi-room service which allowed us (my wife on DVR1 and family on DVR2) to keep recorded show separate for ease of finding and watching. I have switched to the new Quantum Media Server and 3 remote boxes, yet am unable to figure out how to keep recorded shows grouped by either remote box, or other means, as we were able to to with the 2 DVR's.
Can anyone provide a method?
Thanks
New Quantum User in Northern VA...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't.
it is a single DVR with 6 tuners and remotes.
Only way to do that would be to upgrade to dual Quantum DVRs (which costs $10 more).

Hi. It looks like your code is not finding the mp3. At least,
I can reproduce your error code by removing the mp3 from the
directory, or renaming it.
Btw, if you test with FF instead of IE, you'd see the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032:
Stream Error.
at KZFlash_fla::Sound_2/KZFlash_fla::frame1()
Hope that helps.

I have partitioned my time capsule, but I can't get it to work as a Time Machine back up and permanent media server for both mac and PC. What format do I need to partition the drive to so that it works for both mac and windows and so that it will be visab

I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
Thanks

You are mixing up a couple of things here.
The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.
