Any idea what I may try looking for? Could it be a transmission rate issue, a port / security issue or something else less broad than my entire computer? At least I now know it's not a problem with MM itself.

My first thought is that it may be related to using wifi to connect my PC to the router, but I have no means of rectifying that.

I appreciate any and all help with this.

No, I don't think it's the wifi, my PC is connected to the router via wifi and even then only a wireless G signal.

Hard to say, because a google search only brings up relevant results from MediaMonkey - in fact an error that I observed during 4.0 alpha testing. But it's working okay for me now.

Unfortunately I'm now seeing the same issue. I've just setup the media sharing for the first time and am using MM4 (build 1476). I can see the MediaMonkey server from my PS3, but once I browse to the shared folder it throws up the 800 error and no files are visible.

I changed the port to 4000, and can view it fine within MM itself. I've tried it with my PC's firewall turned off but it made no difference. I have a PS3 Media Server on my linux box which has no issues streaming video to the PS3.

Is there something I may have missed?

There must be some problem with your PC, I can stream from MM build 1476 to my PS3 without any problem.

Well, try read your two latest post. It is one sentence-posts saying absolutely nothing but that i shouldn't care. And you were for sure not explaining anything, only stating that I shouldn't care, and that was why I didn't like your posts!

But thank you for this latest post, it clarified some of my questions.
Sorry for seeming agressive, but I wasn't very happy with the tone in your posts either, so that was why.

Well, in the case of my question I consider it relatively significant.
I really don't like your attitude. If you can't answer my questions, please just don't (:

Again, you might be right, but there are different ways of telling it..

EDIT: To add a little info I know that the issue i linked to has been on that page for a long time, but it hasn't always been "resolved". On the same note is it quiet new that Ludek wrote that it IS implemented in build 1600, why I assumed that there had to be some news regarding the issue.

Well it seems fairly wrong to consider it "resolved" by now then, don't you think?
You might be right, but I don't see why that is obvious.

Well, then how would he know that it is implemented in build 1600? Is there a specific pattern they follow there?
The only pattern I can see is that they increment by one every time they release a new build. And as I see we are only at 14XX?

Does anyone know anything about this issue?
It says that it is resolved, but at the same time it states that it is fixed in v4.1, which is nowhere near done as far as I can understand?

Ludek states in the last note that it IS implemented in build 1600, but that build also seems far far away?

Does anyone have any insider knowledge on this one they want to share? (:

And you actually went into the share options and selected some collections/playlists to share?

I got the connection sorted. I had to go into "control panel" "windows firewall" and add monkeymedia program to exceptions. This might be something the developers will likely make automatic on final build.

And yep as I was guessing it's not going to give me the solution I am after. Looks like I'll have to go with the small pc at amp location.

Thanks for your help

No, you need to navigate the collections/playlists with the PS3 and select what to play (works great with playlists). You don't simply output sound from MM to the PS3.

Plantman wrote:Hi,

I downloaded mm4 today to test functionality when connecting to ps3. Tried for hours and searched forums and basically couldn't get server to show up on ps3. I have ps media server and it shows up upon startup of program. Computer is cable linked to router and ps3 is connected to router via wifi. I went into media share settings and added a monkey media server and also enable DLNA settings and tried various combinations. Each time I did I went and selected search for media servers on ps3 but to no avail.

I also went into router settings and fiddled with port settings as per help info. Again to no avail. Can anyone please enlighten me as to how to get ps3 to link to mm4 media server in order to play music and video that is stored on pc, on ps3 over wifi.

Thanks in advance

What build? It works fine for me with build 1413 and my PS3.

Hi nohitter,

Still doesn't find it after trying all sorts of attempts. I am wondering if I am missing something. I have the "Enable media sharing (UPnp/DLNA)" box ticked. Added a share - Enabled is ticked - Server Name is MediaMonkey Server - IP Port assigned - Status "Running". Computer is ethernet cable linked to router and ps3 is connected to router via wifi. I go to PS3 XMB and under the likes of music icon I select "Search for media serves". After searching it returns "no media servers found". I can however run PS3 Media Server and find it no worries.

Ultimately I want to test it to see if I can control mm4 on computer and have it output at PS3. Is this possible (when you have a connection of course) or are you still limited to the laborious task of using PS3 folder by folder XMB drill down to find and play music and mmserver merely enabling access similar to ps3 media server. If it is possible to use mm4 and have the power of it with regards to UI and library then I will endeavor to make this option work as it would be the best for me. Basically I want to digital out at the location of my PS3 into a DAC and then Tube amp but want to have full access to music and usage of mm4 though on a computer located in another room. End aim is to be able to control mm4 with iphone, like you can with mm3 and monkeytunes, and have hifi music in the lounge at the location of amp. Any news on apple remote working on mm4 like it does on mm3 with monkeytunes?

If I can't do this then the next option is kitting up a small computer with a solid state hard drive (reduce noise) with a digital out at the location of the dac and amp system and merely run mm on start up on this machine and control with iPhone (no need to view mm on screen - but still have option on TV if need be). Have it access media library and enjoy tunes at the tip of my fingers. If I can do this with PS3 it will save me plenty.

Thanks for your help
Would love to at least get it connected to see how mm4 and PS3 work together.

Cheers,
Plantman
