PS3 Has Not Been Found / Not a single request from PS3 in the log #54

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I have tried on three different machines (XP SP3, Vista Home and Server
2003) to run this, but each one produces the same result - big red X.

I have tried both version .99 and 1.00.

Currently trying it on the XP Pro box, the PS3 can find Tversity or Media
Player 11 media servers.

Attached is the debug.log.

I take for granted you checked the FAQ so I won't ask for those steps, but I 
had a
similar problem when trying to run the software from a folder under c:\Program 
Files\
which demands the software to run as admin. Now I run it from another hard 
drive and
it works fine with standard user privileges. Are you having the same problem?

Ok, let's make this issue the official one for those who doesn't succeed to 
have PMS 
on the XMB, and who do not receive any single request from it (either a 
M-SEARCH by 
Upnp or a simple HTTP one)

In case it helps, here's my debug.log

I don't get the same problem where ps3mediaserver does not detect the PS3. It 
detects
it fine, but the PS3 does not detect the ps3mediaserver.

Yup, you're right! I had to add the-shazow-v as an entry in my /etc/hosts, it 
works now!

Thanks!

Solved it, though not a good way. It seems that PS3MediaServer will not find a 
PS3 if
you're using the wireless NIC.

Once I changed to the wired NIC on the PS3, everything works.

I would rather use the wireless NIC since the room I have the PS3 in does not 
have a
data drop.

I have the same issue. Initially my server on ubuntu worked fine, but then I 
added 
ffmpeg and a whole host of other programs and codecs to get transcoding 
working. 
After that the two totally refuse to find eachother. (And just to add insult to 
injury, mediatomb stopped working at the exact same time. And yes, I've tried 
them 
one at a time as well) debug.log file attached. The one connection you'll see, 
is 
just gupnp-universal-cp, which finds both mediaservers just fine. Unfortunately 
I'm 
not knowlegable enough to make use of the stuff it prints.

bbarfoot is correct, PS3MediaServer will not find a PS3 if
you're using the wireless NIC.

Once I changed to the wired NIC on the PS3, everything works amazingly well, 
even 
subtitles!

Since I don't have my PS3 that close to a pc, it woul be very cool if you could 
manage to work this issue ;) thanx in advance

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Well, I'm not using a wireless NIC. I just have a pretty basic setup of
ubuntu box<----->adsl modem<----->switch<----->ps3
Also it found both my media servers earlier, so I'm led to believe that this is 
caused by one or more of the decoders/encoders crashing or misbehaving, but I 
can't 
find any logs of it. No files in /var/log got updated during the servers 
uptime. Any 
other suggestions where to look?

Also, does anyone know of a nice upnp diagnostics/monitoring tool for windows 
that 
can just let me see what devices it finds, like the gupnp-universal-cp program, 
so I 
can check wether or not the server is actually seen from a different machine in 
my 
network? Alternatively some other means of checking that the ports and 
protocols are 
getting forwarded correctly by modem and switch? I can't find any relevant logs 
neither on the server nor in the modem, so debugging is quite a pain. It seems 
it 
just wants me to rely on black magic, and if it doesn't work, I'm screwed.

I have a similar issue (running PMS 1.03 under windows XP). If I start PMS 
whilst my
PS3 is on, they find each other, but if I turn off my PS3, then they don't
re-establish contact again (I leave the PC on). I was wireless originally, but 
I'm
now wired and still have the same issue. 

I've tried cidero as suggested by Spidey, but that doesn't detect PMS even when
running on the same PC. I've even uninstalled Norton Internet Security incase 
that
was blocking UPnP for some reason. Any more suggestions?

Yes, restart PMS when your PS3 is turned on, and wait for a fix

Original comment by benp...@gmail.com on 23 Jan 2009 at 10:42

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Thanks for the tip about cidero. Unfortunately it didn't help much. It couldn't 
find 
any of the servers. I also checked in the CLI of my modem, and it doesn't print 
any 
other upnp devices than itself, so when the modem doesn't see it, it's no 
wonder 
it's not working anywhere else. So the question then becomes, is there also 
potentially a need to turn on some network gateway service in ubuntu? The faq 
only 
mentions this for windows. I found some program that seems to be obsolete for 
ubuntu 
8.04, and I got the impression that this was because it's not needed any more. 
But 
is there some, even remote, posibility that this could somehow have been 
disabled by 
one of my updates, and if so, how do I enable it again, or verify that it 
is/isn't 
working like it should?

Just thought I should let you know that I've finally identified my problem. The 
culprit for me was my adsl modem. It seems the modem insisted on interfering 
with 
what its switch was doing. As soon as I plugged the server into the same switch 
that 
the ps3 is on, (which is itself still connected to the modem) it works 
flawlesly. I 
do find it weird that it worked earlier, but after an ubuntu update and various 
codec installations, it didn't, when I had, at that point, not touched the 
modem 
configuration, but what the hey? At least now I only have one specific place to 
experiment rather than believing it could be a combination of settings, which 
would 
be hell to troubleshoot.

Having some of the same problems as frezno1.
Yesterday I got it working on wireless, and tried poking around a bit in some
different places (services, windows firewall, router), and then tried
uninstalling+installing again. Got some notifications about wrapper.dll and
wrapper.exe, but it finally started working on wired as well...until my next 
reboot
to get FLACs to work. 
After that it stopped working altogether.
Today I reformatted my pc to see if it had any effect, but no luck there. 
I have turned UAC off, so it shouldn't interfere

forcing the network interface used by PMS might help

Original comment by pedro.m....@gmail.com on 2 May 2009 at 11:16

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
For Vista and Windows 7.

You need to run the Wrapper.exe as a standalone application first. The windows
firewall then creates two rules (UDP and TCP) to allow the wrapper application 
to use
the network. Personally the rule is a little too open, however you can lock it 
down
to only the ports required if you are more security conscious.

Once the wrapper has been run successfully as a standalone application (firewall
rules added by the system) it can now be run as a service and works well.

How do you force the network interface for XP? This seems to be how to fix

Thanks. I actually found that link a short while ago and everything checks out. 
I don't know how to ping, but the 
PS3 can see MediaLink (which I disabled) and my NAS, so it's not a network 
thing I don't believe.

I was having this issue as well (or something similar). Then I noticed that I 
could 
still access and use PMS from my PS3. It was working even though I was seeing 
the "big 
red X" on my PC. Subsequently, installed CCCP codec, and that seemed to resolve 
the 
"big red X" issue as well.

Great app. Cheers and thanks!

I am having an issue that is similar, but I do not think it is the software. 

I have 2 PS3's. One of them works flawlessly but the other will not see the 
media 
server, whether it is Windows Media Server, PS3 Media Server of TVersity. The 
PS3 
that works is on a wireless connection while the one that does not work I have 
tried 
both wored and woreless. This makes me think that something is wrong woth the 
PS3, 
but I can access the internet and play online with both PS3's. I have tried 
having 
only one PS3 on at a time and still no luck. They are both on the same firmware 
version. What am I missing?

Original comment by jsax...@gmail.com on 20 Sep 2009 at 3:58

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
@jsaxon2: Make sure the PS3 is on the same subnet (usually same router) as the 
PC
running PMS.  Easiest way to check is if you can ping the PS3's IP from the PC.

I am having a similar issue. I am running the media server on Mac OS 10.6. 
Other similar software, like Rivet, are 
able to connect to my PS3 without issue. However the PS3 is not able to connect 
to this media server app. 

What sort of things can I do to figure out the problem?

Try going to the General Configuration tab and manually selecting the proper 
Ethernet
interface under "Force networking on interface". I find that the PS3 Media 
Server
usually gets it wrong (or just selects the first one on that list...which for 
me is
wrong). This fixed the problem for myself.

Guys, here's something that I haven't seen posted yet.

In the PS3, go to the Settings Tab and then click on Networking Settings.

Then from there, go to Media Server Connection and make sure it's enabled.  

I enabled this and it detected my PS3 as soon as I changed it.

After trawling the web and also this page: 

http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/issues/detail?id=54&colspec=ID%20Type%20
Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars

I re-installed PMS beta to C: (not C:/programs/ which is default) and it worked 
again.

It then stopped working later on, so I shut down the teo processes that were 
running
(from task manager.... CTRl+ALT+DEL), restarted it again and hey presto!

So, interesting program :)

Not a very lively forum this btw.
