Media server not showing up in PS3 XMB

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The media server is not showing up on my Playstation 3 XMB, despite the
trace saying that it's ready and that it should show up now.

Only tried version 1.02, on Linux (Gentoo).

Mediatomb works fine, so I don't think it's a routing issue.

Things I tried (that didn't work, restarting the app after each attempt):
* Made sure Mediatomb is off while trying ps3mediaserver.
* Changed default port to the same port Mediatomb used
* Doing "Search for Media Servers" from PS3 XMB

Any ideas what I might be missing?

I believe my issue is different as I do get the request from PS3, and 
ps3mediaserver
successful says that the PS3 is connected.

192.168.1.103 is indeed my ps3.

I attached the debug.log after numerous attempts.

I am posting this here as it does NOT appear to be a duplicate of issue 54, the 
title
says it all: "PS3 Has Not Been Found / Not a single request from PS3 in the 
log"  
In the log entries here its clear that there are requests from the PS3. 

I have seen this problem too,  it appears to have something to do with the 
hostname
of the server. For example my machine was by default named pc1.linux 

I was unable to connect untill I changed the name to what used to work fine in
previous fedora installations (localhost.localdomain)  that fixed the problem.

so by issuing the command "hostname localhost.localdomain"   (or any other for 
that
matter) re opening the console from which I was launching the application and
starting the program again, it was fixed.  

it says in the bug report this was merged with issue 54, but the symptoms (for 
me
anyway) were different (but judging from the logs of issue 83 identical)  I 
didnt get
the big red X like mentioned in issue 54, but a PS3 was displayed nicely as 
they DID
detect each other, the server just didnt show up in the XMB. 

So it looks like a hostname/DNS issue. 
which raises the question does the PS3 use a hostname or IP to access the
mediaserver? or perhaps the original hostname was just incompatible with the 
XMB to
be shown?

I was having the same issue and it is indeed the hostname on the server with
ps3mediaserver.

#hostname mediasrv1
then edit /etc/hosts and add mediasrv1 to the localhost (127.0.0.1) line.

I have a pretty wicked setup now with a NAS machine hosting all my 
music/movies, and
then a separate media server that I have ps3mediashare installed on which 
accesses
the network attached disks.
