The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => D-Link Multimedia and USB => DSM-750 => Topic started by: vds7376 on December 14, 2008, 07:20:42 AM

I am playing the .avi movie files, everything works perfectly in the media lounge mode when I play from my NAS but I am not able to fwd, rwd or pause any of the movies I play. Whenever I try it, it says "seek function not supported in your file...", I am able to do all of that if I play it in my divx DVD through USB or DVD
What might be going wrong?
-
What NAS device are you using?
-
I am using Linkysys NAS200 and I have a 1.5 TB SATA HDD in the enclosure.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
-
I am sorry I do not have one of these units to try and help you out. It may be a limitation on the UPnP AV media server on the NAS. Have you tried it with any similar device as out DSM-750?
-
I dont think it is about the NAS, because when I put the same files on USB and try the direct USB through the DSM-750, it still does the same thing.
-
Have you tried using Windows media player 11 as you media server and tried the FF/RW function?
-
No, I have not, I do not want to use my PC to watch movies, thats the main purpose why I bought this unit.

Using Media Player 11 is not to watch movies on the PC but to serve (A Media Server) the DSM-750 so that you can watch TV on your Television set.
Check the below link and read how to set up WMP 11 as a media server;

But for that I would have to keep my PC On when I want to watch movies, wont I?

Yes. But you are trying to troubleshoot the problem. If it works with WMP 11 then it is not the DSM-750 that has the problem but the NAS.
I recommend trying WMP 11 and see what is the problem and then decided what to do.
-
I already tried to make sure that it is not the NAS by taking the same movie and put it on direct USB, plugged that into the DSM and I have the same problem.
-
I could not get a single AVI movie to fast forward/rewind in MediaLounge mode either. If it ever worked by design, it must have been on a particular AVI encoded with particular software in the lab.
-
I have the same problem here.... no ability to FF/RW on anything in ML mode.

Same issue here - It is not a limitation of your NAS, because as you state it happens with USB as well. I am the same, I use my media player as a stand-alone and don;t want it using my PC.
It's unfortunate that you cant stop, pause, forward, rewind movies... This would be great to have and I would think common sense functionality to have...
-
the lack of fwdf & rwd is a huge disappointment and as mentioned you'd think this would be common sense functionality. I was hoping that the new firmware upgrade would fix this issue but it has not.
very sad ???

-
yes, it is indeed very sad and almost makes the unit useless for my needs.
-
Your Linksys NAS isn't up to speed. I'm using a ReadyNAS DUO with Twonky UPnP and I have no trouble rewinding or fast forwarding.
-
what would that have to do with the fact that I cant even FF/RW when I use direct USB, there is no uPnP involved there.
-
Nobody has mentioned if they tied it using any other media server device or program to verify if the files are even indexed properly to allow FF/RW function. This is a very common issue.
Please try them on your PC and see if the FF and RW function works properly. Not just skipping to a location but FF the video.

I can't FF or RW either. I just got this unit 3 days ago and it came with firmware 1.01. When I tried to FF or RW, the video won't perform such action. As matter of fact, it would start rewinding it when I prerss FF and vise versa. What kind of crap is that? I installed Tversity on PC and the same video performed OK when I saw it from the MediaLounge under "My Media" and I was able to FF/RW.
I am using my unit in MediaLounge mode and my videos are in a Bufffalo Linkstation Mini 500GB NAS in a Wireless N network.
