so i've installed the 1.06 firmware, but i cant figure out how to get my Upnp NAS to show up in the 360 menus.
anyone have any insight on this?
thanks

I would suggest restoring to factory defaults after upgrading to 1.06. Also by default UPNP AV and ITUNES are disabled on 1.06. Make sure they are turned on and that you have clicked the REFRESH button on the Web GUI.

its enabled. my ps3 sees the 323, my 360 does not (i assume it would show up in the 'video library' section.
the one thing that is different between the two systems, is that the ps3 is set up to wirelessly connect to the router that the 323 is hard wired to, while the 360 is on a wired connection to a router, that wirelessly bridges to the router that the 323 is on.

I was having issues and made sure all of my settings were correct (they were) and still could not connect. I took the Moderators advice and reset to default settings, enabled UPnP and changed nothing else and and on the first try in my XBOX 360 it showed up. My XBOX is hard wired as well through a Netgear Wireless G Router.
Thanks D-Link...

As above. It was working quite happily with 1.6 Beta, but didn't work with the official release. One restory to factory defaults later and everything is now fine.

restored to defaults, enabled, refreshed, and still nothing
where should the 323 appear in the 360 list?
-
If your running over 2 routers and a bridge, I would suspect that's your problem. I'd eliminate the variables, and move your 360 to test it plugged directly into the same router as your NAS drive.
I'll bet that fixes it.

My xbox 360 can "see" the dns323 but not of my music or videos appear. Any ideas? I've selected the root directory option and have run the refresh several times.
-
The DNS-323 shows up on my Xbox360's Video, Music and Pictures sections of the dashboard, but when I select it, it says no videos/music/pictures were found or the device could not connect.
Funny thing is, it actually worked with the 1.05 firmware, albeit with some glitchiness if I drilled down through too many subfolders. This firmware appears to have actually taken a step back in this regard.
-
Did you Refresh the UPnP feature on the DNS-323?
It's on the UPNP page.
-
Yes, I refreshed, but same thing.
So, I just changed it from sharing Root on the DNS-323 to sharing, specifically, just my Videos subfolder, and now it works.
So, is sharing the root, like, too many folders/subfolders for the UPNP server to search through or something? I DNS-323 wish it had the option to specify sharing more than one folder.

Hi all,
Although I'm not a 'big' advocate of UPnP, I've gone ahead an enabled UPnP on one of my DNS-323's so as to test XBOX360 connectivity.
Also note that I am using an Active Directory domain with *all* devices on the network are configured with the same WORKGROUP name and *all* devices are supported by Windows DHCP, DDNS, and WINS services.
Here are the steps I performed:
500GB - Seagate - RAID1 - f/w 1.06
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Log into DNS-323 and configured UPnP AV SERVER with the following folder:
<dns323>\Volume_1\Audio\Music
2) Clicked 'Refresh'
- Until I clicked 'Refresh', XBOX360 would indicate that it lost connection to computer
- Took a *really* long time (270GB+ of MP3 LAME 3.96)
3) Navigate XBOX360 Music Library content
Few observations:
1) Seems like basic MP3 Tag information is only supported (Artist, Album, Title, Track)
Year, Genre, Album Art, etc. not displayed when navigation the XBOX360
2) Nested folders seem to be supported; for example:
<dns323>\Volume_1\Audio\Music\A\<artist>\<album>\Disc 2
<artist> = name of artist
<album> = name of album
- Albums with more than one CD is further nested in a structure (Disc 1, Disc 2, Disc 3, etc.)
- I've sub-grouped artists from (0, A-Z) for cross player support (XBMC, Media Player, WinAMP, etc.)
(some players run into indexing problems with folders that contain over 4096 objects)
3) Wasn't able to find an Parametric (or other) EQ on the XBOX360
4) XBOX360 doesn't seem to support GAIN parameters that have been added to all my MP3's
(set to 89DB/album for consistent volume level)
HTH,

More than likely you have a corrupt media file halting the scan for some reason.
-
I have the same problem happening to me...
I reset my device to default and I then started the share to a particular folder and then from there the device doesn't even see the media for some reason..

I installed firmware 106 and am able to see the list of my videos on the 360. The problem is when I launch a video error code 69-C00D36BE comes up. For those wondering where the drive shows up just go into the my video tab on your 360 and you should see the DNS right away.

Hi,
I made intensive tests with the 1.06 official firmware (this time... lol...) and the Xbox 360 to try to replace my HD player connected to the Home Cinema with the Xbox 360.
The objective was to remove one box from the Home Cinema installation and using the 360 for games and decoding videos
Here are my first results:
1) Upgrading the DNS-323 firmware:
After an upgrade from the 1.05 to the 1.06 firmware to have the 360 finding the multimedia files you must do a hardware reset of the DNS-323 with the reset switch (on the rear panel of the DNS-323).
2) Xbox 360 viewing files:
On the DNS-323 I've approximatively 500GO of video files in several directories:
Films: 200GO+ / 1000+ files / 5 levels of directories
Concerts: 100GO+ / 200 files / 2 levels
Clips: 2GO / 34 files / 1 level
Documentaries: 22GO / 75 files / 4 levels
Humor: 90GO / 90 files / 2 levels
Karaoke: 7GO / 137 files / 2 levels
Series: 29GO/ 70 files / 2 levels
I can see most of the files except the Film folder where I see NO files at all .
I presume the 5 levels depth or the number of files (or both) is not compatible with implementation of the 1.06 firmware (this is just an assumption).
3) Comparison of the Xbox 360 with an H&B DN8620 HD Divx/DVD media player:
Many AVI encoded Divx files cannot be seen with the Xbox 360 because apparently these codecs are not supported.
This problem isn't related to the DNS-323 but to the 360 itself.
The H&B DN8620 media player doesn't need the DLNA UpNP implementation but just the basic UpNP A/V protocol which was already implemented in the previous firmware version of the DNS-323.
The limitation (or bug?) seen in the 1.06 firmware within the Xbox 360 support isn't seen at all with the H&B media player.
I've also tested the 1.06 firmware with another media player, a DP600 from Kiss Technology, same results as with the DN8620 H&B Technology, no limitation in number of files and directories.
All the files can be seen within the tree and most of the video files can be decoded.
In Conclusion:
The Xbox 360 isn't suitable to replace a good media player due to these limitations within the DNS and the Xbox.
I hope these tests will participate to help the community.
And Many thanks to DLink having improved seriously the DNS-323.
And to finish Best Wishes to ALL of you.
Have a great year end with a lot of fun.

Make sure you go back into your DNS-323 interface and click the REFRESH button and try again.

Unfortunately I have followed all the suggestions that you have put forth and still nothing... In the shared folder and I know the video files that I have in there should work fine b/c if I copy it to a USB drive I can see them there so I don't know what the limitation is still..
-
Error code 69-C00D36BE I believe is just the error code for an unsupported file format. Does the video play on your Xbox360 if you stream it from Windows Media Player 11? Let me guess .avi file?
-
I have found that the same file will give me this error if I put it in some directories and not in others.
It looks like there's some problem with overall file path length (or depth) on either the xbox or the upnp server.
I found a similar problem with the PS3, which seems to have a depth limit of 8 directories - which seems like a lot until you realise that you need to browse to a depth of 5 (I think) before you even get to the files at all.
-
I'm new to all of this, and have never set up anything media releated to my Xbox 360. I've set up my nas, i can see it on my ps3, but when I go into the Xbox and look at video content, I only see downloaded (local 360 hard drive) and Computer, when I go to computer it tells me I need to set it up by going to www.xbox.com/pcsetup... Am I doing this right? Any ideas help.

Mike,
I have a VERY similar setup as the bartender, so I disabled the uPNP option on both my wireless bridge and my wireless router. I'm not sure what that does, but it worked. I figured that I should try something weird first before dragging my 360 to the router upstairs. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Make sure you go back into your DNS-323 interface and click the REFRESH button and try again.
I have done everything that you have asked and I still can't see the video file that I can play via the DNS 323 to my windows media player + can play it when it is hooked up to a usb hard drive...
There has to be some type of limit to the firmware update b/c it should work if you say xbox 360 playable...

Manually click the refresh button on your DNS-323. I've only seen this if the refresh button wasn't clicked after configuring the UPNP AV and adding content.

i do not see anything.... but TVersity works great. its free and converts unsupported files to supported files... the only problem is that i have to keep my computer on to use it.
