Post by: krenkey on June 02, 2009, 05:11:37 PM
Just to clarify it says in the beta release that the NAS will stream ISO's now to clarify my ps3 can see the iso but it comes out as unsupported data is there something im doing wrong. What will decode the iso's to stream them.

Have you tried this particular ISO from another UPnP AV media server that supports ISO with your PS3?

I want to try this, too.  Can you recommend a UPnP AV media server that supports ISO for my PS3?

as far as i know xbox360 and ps3 do not support iso, mkv streaming...   for this to work you need to convert it to a format that 360 and ps3 supports... which kills the purpose of streaming them in the first place.

well if you happen to have a xbox 1 chipped or softmodded with xbmc installed you find that it supports all formats under the sun and further more it makes an excelent media center

if you want to play anything less then dvd res.. 720p and higher sucks(as in does not play at all or 1 frame every few days) on xbox 1. that is why a lot of people want the 360 to support it, it has the power.

damn u M$ for limiting the features of the 360.

All the decoding is done at the client-side.  The media server simply streams the content from my understanding....

I haven't seen anyone ask this yet, so I'll bite..

What kind of ISO is this?  What is on it, filesystem, size, etc?

AFAIK I'll also agree the PS3 can't do ISO or MKV.

The iso can be a dvd movie image it would be easier to play a dvd movie image than having to rip it into a avi

Is the DVD-Video disc unencrypted?
Title: Re: iso support
Post by: krenkey on July 16, 2009, 10:09:43 PM
i do believe getting into the scope of encryption is beyond what is able to be said here.

An ISO image is a image of a dvd or CD compressed into an .ISO file the new firmware will stream this file as long as the play back device can decode the file. IE: A PC with the appropriate mounting abilities can stream the file and be decoded PS3's cannot decode or mount the file yet.

Do you know of any playback device that will decode a ISO streamed from the DNS-323?

Like i said your Personal Computer can decode the ISO as long as you have the tools to mount the image or to stream it to the appropriate PC player, i have successfully done it with an ISO image of a BACKUP of a DVD ISO image to the PC.

I think you guys are failing to see the point I'm making. 

Every DVD & Blu-Ray movie you purchase or rent is *encrypted*. DVD uses CSS; Blu-Ray uses AACS.  Unless you're using some kind of software to circumvent that encryption, any rip of those discs is still encrypted.

I'm suggesting if you made a *home movie* with a camcorder and then with a DVD authoring program you create a DVD-Video .ISO of that home movie, then perhaps that would work.

The encryption can be by-passed just do some Google work i certainly wont tell you how to do it. All i can say is that it isnt very difficult to do.

@Krenkey, I'm still a little confused about what you have successfully done...

a) mounted a DVD ISO image stored on the DNS-323, via samba, and decoded that DVD ISO with a software DVD player on your PC.

b) streamed a DVD ISO image with the media server on the DNS-323, and decoded that DVD ISO stream with a media client on your PC

This isn't a real test of the ISO image. The PC just looks at the ISO and thinks it's a DVD. Therefore your Media Player didn't decode the ISO, your PC did. Now, if Media Player or another app on your PC pointed directly to the ISO image and streamed it, that would be a valid test.

Popcorn Hour A100/A110 can decode an ISO from the dns-323 (not using Upnp).

You are correct.  The Popcorn Hour will play ISO images, and as I understand it, thoes ISO images
are accessed from a network file system (via SMB or NFS) or a local file system.

The release notes for the DNS-323 firmware v1.08 (beta) claim:

   36. Add Ability to stream m2ts, .iso files.

That is what I am inquiring about.

We have simply added .ISO as an acceptable file type in the list of Files collected by the UPNP server. Nothing more.

I stream m2ts daily to my PS3 and it works very nice i was thankful that they added that support all my high-def movies are in that format.

Thanks for the clarification.
