I'm trying to play streaming content and I keep getting the DLNA protocol 2006 error... time to re-read the FAQ/Guide for a solution.

The only fix I've seen for the DLNA Protocol error 2006 is to downgrade to v.1.04. Anyone else had other options? Someone posted the same thing in this thread (page 14) but never got an answer.

Ok, it seems any VideoLan stream fails to work due to an incompatibility with PS3MS. I'm checking their boards now, but I hear users have also had some sucess rolling back to VideoLAN 0.98... ugh.
EDIT: Trace feature confirms it. VideoLAN 0.98 here I come.

Hmm, thats an interesting idea. One could use something like http://www.splitmedialabs.com/vh-video-sdk/vh-screen-capture, or something similar to create a live feed...Magnus said:
Got to try it over weekend, though high quality feed will most likely eat too much resources of my not so new PC to be useful. Will report here next week.

Does anyone have a way to stream .mkv through TVersity to my ps3 or is that just impossible because the ps3 can't read .mkv natively?

...or use PS3 Media Server, which can do transmuxing (which is what MKV2VOB does) on the fly when you choose to stream an MKV file.

How about the VideoLAN non-support? Has anyone heard of a fix around that besides re-installing the last VLC that worked with PS3MS?

The minute I try to play any of the YouTube streamed stuff in the folders. Actually anything with a VideoLAN stream tag in the folders won't play.Kinan said:

Yea, PS3M does not support Videolan 1.0+ for some reason, which is a shame. Looks like you need to revert to 0.98 (which is not that bad, actually).
I've tried to play with desktop streaming this weekend, but found no good solution so far.
Simplest way to do it, is "Display Share" tool. Its simple and it works, but works poorly with huge lag and bad quality. Although maybe on faster PCs it will do better.
Then I tried a couple of programs that can create a good quality stream of my desktop (ironically, one of them is Videolan 1.+), but i found no possibility to feed the streams to PS3M or TVersity.
If only any of them could support rtmp streams...

Click on the General Configuration tab and go to the "Network Settings, change them only if troubles" section.Clott said:
In the section that says "Force networking on interface:" click on the dropdown menu and select your Ethernet adapter's interface.
Click on the Save button at the top and then quit and restart the program.

Honestly, as someone who's tried every different way known to man, just buy a WDTV Live and be done with it. It's worth every penny. I couldn't stand having to use MKV2VOB.
edit: although I don't know that I ever tried PS3 media server. Oh well, <3 WDTV Live.

Is anyone who uses PlayOn having issues with Hulu? For the last couple of days, when I try to watch anything on Hulu, the PS3 completely freezes up. I'm forced to restart the PS3. Then I get a message on restart stating that the PS3 did not shut down properly. This is also happening when I try to use the Adult Swim lua plugin.
I have tested CBS, Netflix, and ESPN. They all work just fine.
Prior to this, my only issues with Hulu were the occasional "This video is not available" message.

I should have done a little more homework. As retarded as this sounds, apparently certain discs in the drive will cause some video sources to not work on the PS3. I'm looking at you, GoW3. And I love you.
So if anyone else is having the same issue I am having, here you go.

Yeah, PS3M is pretty much The Answer. Love that program.
As a matter of fact, I'd probably have sold my PS3 by now if not for PS3M.

I have no idea why people aren't using PMS for simple streaming. I tried a few alternatives and came right back to PSM the same day. Just no comparison in terms of quality.Schrade said:

Nah, gpu has nothing to do with it. IF the video needs transcoding, its your cpu that does it.aristotle said:
And yeah, i was with tversity for a LONG while. didnt want to make the switch. but now that ive seen both in action, PS3 MS is the winner hands down.

Well, if youre using PS3 MS you can tweak all sorts of settings to prevent stuttering. Check the forum at http://ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=6aristotle said:

sounds like its a local network problem - try ps3 ms to see if that works with your local files smoothly

So PMS is the best media server for PS3. Can anyone help me with Hulu? I xant view it on my Ps3
xclaw said:
Yea, it can be done that way. You'll need CoreAVC 1.9+, which is not free though. Probably makes sense only with somewhat rare combination of shitty processor and good video card.
On balanced setups speed increase is not significant/sometimes absent at all. You do get your main processor free for other tasks though.
Hey, I was wondering if I could get some help with a PS3MS issue:
I used to use the PS3 media server version 1.10.51 (It's a greatest free media server out there to date).
Recently however, I started having this issue where whenever I would run a .MKV file, the server would crash/close. As a result I was forced to use the new 1.20 version (BETA) of the software. As it's a beta, the one and only problem that it has is that it skips portions of certain vids sometimes.
Anyone else have or had this problem or know any solutions?

I have been using PS3 MS forever now and it work(ed) flawlessly until this week. Now it will not detect my PS3 all of a sudden. I have removed it and re-installed it, gone over all my router settings, scoured the net for someone else with this same issue.
No luck.
ALL the other media servers work. Just PS3MS does not.
Makes no sense to me lol.
Back to PlayOn and TVersity for now I guess.
EDIT : Just tried another "fix" and still no luck. I just had ALL my DVDs ripped to my HD too, and it was working perfect....damn you random failure bug!

Have you tried installing or re-installing haali media splitter? I strongly recommend you install it on your machine as its the best decoder for mkv files.
PS3 Media Server never gives me any problems with any file types. Its also a one step install, never think about it again type program. Very easy to use.
Broseybrose said:
I am not very savvy when it comes to software programs which deal with decoding or encoding. As such, I must ask, does the Haali Matroska Splitter (thank you for the link btw. I have a 64 bit system, however it looks like there is no stable x64 version available for it) work in conjunction with PS3 media player acting as a direct transcoder for it? If so then what was the PS3 media server using before?
And finally does "Mencoder" simply stand for Media Encoder? (I see it while playing AAC tracks on the PS3, not streaming though, although I see it there as well).

Have you recently updated the version of Java on the server? Also, do you have PS3MS installed as a service?
I've had ps3ms not detect my ps3 but it was always resolved after a few times of using the scan for media server feature on the ps3.
You don't need haali or anything else. ps3ms is self-contained. My ps3ms server has no codecs or haali installed. Don't know why you're having problems with skipping, you sure your wifi setup can handle the streaming? Have ps3ms set to use multicore?aryanr said:

If you read my original post (post 1139), I did state that I used to run the 1.10.5 version without any hitch till one day when it started to crash while trying to play .MKV files (which it did without any problem before).
I reinstalled without any remedy. When I finally installed the unstable beta version 1.20 of the PS3MS, I found it to have a skipping problem with certain video contents (wmv and mkv included) at certain times (which would correct itself after a while).
I am guessing it might be some sort of incompatibility issue with the recent versions of java.
My system config:
Q6700
4GB RAM
750 GB HDD with at least 150GB free at any given time.
I did check the option for the multi core processing advantage option and the server 1.10.5 still crashed.

I have redone installs (two different versions), wiped and reset all my network settings, tried installing it on three different machines (WinXP Pro, Home, and Windows 7).
I have installed it stand alone and as a service, on all machines. I have had my PS3 in and out of DMZ, I have had both static and dynamic IP, forced network interface, different IPs, different ports. I also tried both wired and wireless connections.
Nothing.
MY PS3 simply does not see it anymore.
Over the last few days I have downloaded and installed every other media server I could find on the net and EVERY SINGLE ONE works. They all suck compared to PMS, but at least they work.
Hell even the server that came with my FIOS service works :lol
My only theory??
I had not been playing games on my PS3 in a while, so fell behind on updates and firmware etc. Then in the last few weeks I have gotten 2-3 new games and have upgraded to the newest firmware and software versions of my older games.
Something in one of those processes killed it somehow. Why me and nobody else I have no idea.
Hell I even uninstalled demos & addons I got recently just in case.
Ah well, life goes on. Someday another media option will come out that works and is as nice as PMS.....I hope :lol

I think I did try that, but I will check my "list" I wrote up to keep track of everything I tried.Schrade said:
Still makes no sense why it would stop working all of a sudden.
The last thing I installed on the computer that is hosting it was back in Feb (And that was just and update to my web browser :lol ).
Asside from a few websites I frequent and have always gone to (GAF included), the setup is unchanged. So everything works fine for over a year and then BOOM...gone just near the end of APril.
Strange indeed!
