Hi all,

First off, my apologies if this has been asked/answered before but I couldn't find anything on it.

The issue is that I attempt to stream a movie from the DNS-323 to my Xbox 360 and receive error 69-C00D36BE.  When I copy the EXACT same file over to my thumb drive and play it from there, it plays fine.  So taking the DNS-323 out of the equation and it works.  Is this a bug?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you using v1.06?

[harrisjr]

Yes, using 1.06 and have also reset the device to defaults and re-enabled the UnPNP server.  Still same thing.

The unusual silence from any of the moderators on all of the posts related to disruption of data streams from and to the DNS-323 (that are not solved by the reset solution) causes me to strongly suspect that DLink is very aware of this problem and have no clue as to the cause yet, or simply don't want to acknowledge that it exists (for whatever reason).

I'm also getting that same error....
But I noticed some thing....

It seams to be caused by the lenght of the name of the .AVI file....

I did multiple tests, and I noticed that if the combined Folder + AVI name is over 70 chars
The File wont play....

So I'm guessing that after all the "testing" that D-Link did... they forgot to test this one out
Or is it a limitation of the 360....

In any case it would be great if an admin could confirm/fix/disprove this "bug"'

has for the AVI that I did the test with:
592x320 pixels
duration 1:25:21
audio: 128kbps MP3 joint stereo
Video: DivX 6.8 at 1120kbps at 24bits  @ 25frames/second

EDIT:
sry forgot to mention that the audio is CBR

Looks like D-link is not interested in this thread...
Or did every one found the fix and I dont know about it?

Burhic,

          I'll throw out my 2 cents on my issues I've had on this. All though I did not have an error message you might want to try these things to see if they help.

Go get an app called avic.exe (google avic.exe) open this up and check the file your trying to run on the 360. I was having an issue where when I shared out all my files I got no videos on the 360, it turned out that I had a bad video in my folder. As well I used this app here to change ever avi I had to Xvid, xvid. And now the 360 see's and plays everything I have. So It might be something to try? I can understand how fustrating it can be.

Thanks MrWinky, i'll try it out....
But it's going to be a pain on the @#! - I have over 800 avi files

At the moment I'm trying to play them one by one on the Xbox360
and I've done about 100 of them.

And whenever i receive the error code 69-C00D36BE,
If I rename the Folder and AVI file to a shorter name, then manualy refresh of the DNS-323
The AVI file starts playing fine on xbox360
without converting the video format.

Also if there was a bit of soft that could "batch" verify all the AVI files and report the one that are "broken"
it would be great...

Hint to D-Link.... if the UPnP AV Server refresh "algorithm", could tell when ever it gets aborted and report on which files it aborted, that would greatly help.
i.e: do a quick scan of available scans (like the DOS cmd "dir *.AVI /s") - so it would report like "I have 845 Files avail.
then start the refresh index part... and count how many files where refreshed.. and if the last one amount to less then the total avail.... give out the folder and file name....

In my case it never goes all the way to 100%.. it always seams to "Refreshed Successfully" at arround 5%

Sorry for the delayed reply. Its not that I was ignoring the topic, just that I haven't been in the office due to the vegas CES show and what not. I will have to test this file length issue and if I am able to replicate it will put it in as a fix for 1.07.

In regards to the 'failed' addition of files, I will see if we can have some form of popup or list of files that were added and which ones failed for next firmware but no guarantees.

[harrisjr]

Any word on this?

[Buhric]

Still no word on this?

I'm now wondering if this charater limit is a DNS-323 thing or
a Microsoft bug....

I'm still doing some test.... but it looks like I get the same error when I try to share my video
throught WMP11

But If I user TVersity I don't have any issue

I would recommend avoiding using any special character in the file names and try to keep them simple. It seems the Xbox may have some issues with this as I have seen in other threads.
