Everything has been fine for me since 4.4 Beta 2 and encoding my movies in the correct format.
However, this evening, previously working movies, came up with Unsupported Data.
It was because the movies live on a USB drive, that was in low power state, and took a small while to spin up. Perhaps PS3 is not giving enough time before it decides it's not a valid format.
Once the disk has spun up, if I went to music, and back to movies, the movies played fine as the disk was now spinning.
I suspect files on the local disk are fine, but on removable storage (like my Seagate USB storage) may exhibit this....

Definitely NOT the PS3's fault. Album art works in WMP11's server and with Nero MediaHome.jensph wrote:Is it the PS3's fault for not showing MP3 ablum art when streaming?
Album art shows up fine when browsing the MP3s on the PS3's hard drive.
Also, the sort order of songs appears to vary per server, so I'm assuming that it's more to do with the server than to do with the PS3.

Scan the area, and select an un-used channel.twonky-christian wrote:Never ever use wireless for steaming
It will change channels here and there - every time another wireless is detected and kill the current stream
Turn on Stability (product-dependant).
Set AP to be more aggressive with refreshes and similar.
Use clients that are a bit resilient (cache data for 2-3 seconds)
Besides if the UPnP client is timing out like above, then its misbehaving - complain to manufacturer. Requests should be honored for 30 seconds.
Me? Part wired, part wireless. Just shame that I Must use a really bad Philips router (Belgacom .. "smells badly").

Well, as far as I can say there is pretty much no other WLAN in my vicinity and my WLAN connection has so far been very stable and I am very very rarely experiencing any dropouts. Nothing that would really push me to go wired
But coming back to my initial question: what's the difference between those MPEG files that perfectly stream across my LAN whereas the MP4s show up as corrupted file format? Can it be that UPnP is such a nitpicker when it comes to timing?

I didn't follow that comment.twonky-christian wrote:we did not get album art with WMC from VISTA
which WMC are you using / which file format ?
Will album art be supported at some point?
I don't see album art when streaming an MP3 file to a PS3. That same MP3 file on the PS3's drive does show the ablum art.
