I have the 1.06 DNS firmware, and the latest PS3 firmware installed.

It can see the media server but it won't show any of the music, pictures, or movies. I get a "DLNA protocol error (2114)" message.

I thought 1.06 was supposed to fix this?

I bought this unit specifically for streaming to my PS3 and XBOX 360 and the frustration has now reached a boiling point for me. If anyone could please advise on how to get this working I would be grateful.

Thanks.

Hi Sarge,

Have a look at this thread:

IMHO, most folks have been assuming that the DNS is at fault for *all* of the problems and forget that the XBOX 360 & PS3 both have their fair share of problems as well.  Both of these consoles, as well as other media centers, contain DRM restrictions as well as limited support for media formats.

Take some time to have a look at other DNS-323 & DSN-343 posts on the forum, some of the folks have discovered limitations that seem to be on the console side of things.  For example, the XBOX 360 has a very limited implementation of MP3 Tag Information.

HTH,

Well, I had looked at those threads, but they don't really seem to solve the problem. But thanks.

Update:

I can effectively see, navigate and use the NAS from my PC. Have upgraded the firmware correctly. All files intact and usable.

I have made a directory on the NAS called Media, and within that folder I have 3 sub-folders (Music, Pictures, Movies). I have made the directory Volume_1/Media the path for the UPNP server.

Now, on both my PS3 and Xbox I can see the NAS. They detect it as a media server right away, no problem there. BUT on the PS3 it gives the 2114 error and on the xbox it just simply says there was no music/pictures/video detected.

I will add that both the PS3 and XBOX are wireless and the NAS is attached to the wireless router.


I'm hoping someone can give me a tip/trick to get this working since clearly it is the DNS 323 that is not playing nice.

Thanks.

Not sure if you've come across this thread already ... just in case:

I am having EXACTLY the same problem you are. PS#, DNS032 with 1.06 and using wireless. The surprising thing is that I hadn't tried this for a long time - 6months (thought I was the only one with the problem) and I tried it a week ago (on 1.05 firmware) and it worked -- although quite slow. I looked up firmaware 1.06 and saw that the release notes were all about upnp and consoles so thought this was the update for me. I installed it and now....back to square zero. I may try going back to 1.05 and see if it magically works again. This is sooo frustrating for me as I don't know for sure if/when its the console, the router (DIR-655) or the DNS-323.

Anyone able to help? BTW, I also tried not sharing root and selecting a folder. No luck. Anyone have a NAS that just works with the Playstation 3 by chance? I used to love troubleshooting these types of problems and have now grown to really dislike them. :/

I have a PS3 and streem to it from the dns 323 but wired.

I wonder if you should try the wired connection 1st

I use a lynsys router and there is a UNPN button you can click on it. 

all my settings are automatic.

did you try resetting your router to default?

What model router do you have?  I wonder if that is your problem. 

Try the direct connection so you can filter some other things out.

I also use assigned ip addresses,  make sure your dns nubmers are right as well.

once it hooks up to the network you can see all your servers windows mediat Vuze, Tversity dlink etc.

is your Itune server active?  I had problem too and since deactivating the itune server, everything is working well 

(don't try to fast forward a 12gig HD movie, it take forever...)

Update:

I have made a directory on the NAS called Media, and within that folder I have 3 sub-folders (Music, Pictures, Movies). I have made the directory Volume_1/Media the path for the UPNP server.

That's the same structure I have.  My root folder is "Shared" with 3 subfolders: Movies, Music, Pictures

Now, on both my PS3 and Xbox I can see the NAS. They detect it as a media server right away, no problem there. BUT on the PS3 it gives the 2114 error and on the xbox it just simply says there was no music/pictures/video detected.

I've had this problem before as well.  Have you (on the PS3) performed a "Restore Default Settings?"  There have been a few occasions where strange things happened.. movies played but with no sound, sound only came out when fast forwarding, files displayed corrupt data when they were actually valid, etc.

I'm hoping someone can give me a tip/trick to get this working since clearly it is the DNS 323 that is not playing nice.

I ended up replacing the D-Link UPnP server with TwonkyMedia server instead.  It is worth the $30.

I'm also seeing this problem.

I've read all the threads, suggesting it's a network issue; in my case, it's not. I can mount the DNS323 from Windows and Linux boxes on my network, file transfers both directions work fine. I can browse and play media an my PS3 via TVersity from one of my Windows boxes, which is feeding the media from the DNS323.

Firmware 1.05 and 1.06 show identical symptoms.

However, I suspect part (if not most) of the problem is the size of the media library. I recently picked up a second DNS323 as a backup for the first. If I place only a few folders of pictures, MP3s, or movies on the new DNS323, I can browse/play the media on the PS3 without difficulty. When my entire collection is shared on the new DNS323, I get nothing but "A DLNA protocol error (2114) has occurred".

I haven't had enough time to figure out the threshold where the problem started showing up, but I did copy my entire photo collection (about 55,000 images altogether) and that was okay, if rather sluggish during browsing and starting playback. When I add my MP3s (about 80,000 files), nothing but errors.

I suspect the limited amount of memory in the DNS323 is causing the built-in media server to fail with such a large collection of media.

I'm not terribly worried about it, since TVersity is acceptable (barely) for now. However, if a future firmware update makes it possible to browse a large media collection with limited memory in the DNS323, I'll certainly look forward to trying it.

There have also been several posts, including some by the D-Link moderators about corrupt files.  The Dlink UPnP server has to parse (read the data about) every movie, photo, and song in the folders it's told to scan.  Keep in mind that while your computer can cope with many different kinds of files, the UPnP server on the 323 is far pickier/selective.

So, as eskwayrd alluded to; it may be wise to separate out your media and test for something that makes the 323's UPnP server go haywire.  Create a new folder and move a subset of your media there, point the UPnP server to it, and see if it works.  If it does, then create another folder and move some of the remaining files there and test again.  Keep repeating until you find a batch that doesn't work.  Eventually you'll find the culprit(s).  It's work, crude, and effective.

I would recommend going with the wired connection on the console. It seems that these issues are mainly seen when using the PS3 or Xbox360 wirelessly. I don't have an answer to why this is but it seems to be the case.

[mamurao]

I have my PS3 wired to the router where my DNS-323 is wired connection as well. I am running 1.05 firmware and all is working. No problem streaming. I used to be running 1.06 but had issues with Bitorrent, DLNA error, unable to delete any files and Email notification. 1.05 is working perfect for me and like the extra web links for bitorrent and deletin files.
