Does the media playback OK if it is stored on your PC and you are using WMP11 as your media server and What is the media type and properties?
-
I have no problems playing the media from the pc, mostly avi files using Tversity.
-
Can you provide more detail on your avi video file? Does this happen on every video you have played all formats?
-
Yes, it happens with all video, I am using a dsm-320 and with the pc I haven't had any problems
-
Any ideas on what to try to do to fixthis. Being a Media Server was one of the main reasons for bying the unit and I just can't make it work.
Thanks
-
Are you using the DSM-320 wireless? If so can you try it wired please as I do not see this issue when playing video files from the DNS-323 to my DSM-320 here.
-
I have it wired and have the problem, any other idea?
Thanks
-
Could it be that I have too many folders
-
Installed Twonkyvision on the 323 and no problem, so the issue seems to be the media server that comes with the unit.
-
not sure if this was checked but are you using the latest firmware on both the DNS323 and the DMS320
-
Yes on both counts, but no problems with twonky

I have the same problem outlined by Jeremias1008
My environment contains:
- DSM-320RD with the lastest firmware (1.04.17WW)
This device is used with a wired connection
- DNS-323 with firmware 1.05
Contains two Hitachi 1TB drives in RAID1 array
Volume Name: Volume_1
Volume Type: RAID 1
Sync Time Remaining: Completed
Total Hard Drive Capacity: 981858 MB
Used Space: 441521 MB
Unused Space: 540337 MB
- DGS-2208 (8 port gigabit switch)
- Two separte Windows XP machines running MediaLounge 1.10
Both these machines use a network mapping to the DNS-323 to share media directly from the DNS-323
From both WinXP running MediaLounge I can play the avi files reliably. This occures even though these files are really located on the DNS-323 device (The gigabit switch really keeps up)
But when I try to access the UPnP server on the DNS-323 directly I get freezing of the video and audio after only a few seconds of playback. This happens with all the AVI file I have tried. I have tried a good dozen various files.
Most files are around 700-750MB in size.
Specifics from one of the files is as follows
Frame width 624
Frame height 352
Data rate 2kbps
Frame rate 25 frames/second
I have tried to disable items such as the FTP and iTunes server and have played with the jumbo frames.
I have tried both static and dynamic IP addressed on both the DNS-323 and the DSM-320RD (and all combinations)
I am currently using static IP addresses on both devices.
As I said - I am using the work around of using MediaLounge 1.10 on one of my PCs. But would rather server the video from the DSN-323 directly.
