MP101 and Ubuntu Gusty
Posted: Sun Jan 20, 2008 2:31 pm
Can anyone help. I have two MP101's connected over wireless to a linux machine (Ubuntu Gusty) running TwonkyMedia (latest version 4.4.3). I cannot get the devices to work without locking up in some way.
Symptoms:
- If I run clients as "Netgear MP101" then after part of a song the MP101 will stop and skip to the next song.
- If I run as Netgear MP101 RTP then after two songs the TwonkyMedia server runs at 100% CPU and then the MP101 stops.
- The wireless signal is excellent for both devices yet if I run a dedicated wire to the boxes then they work better but I need to run them wirelessly for layout reasons.
Note: this used to work more reliably when I ran Ubuntu dapper and TwonkyMusic 2.x but this did not support my XBox for photos and video, hence the upgrade and problems...
I have tried:
- different routers and wireless access points (linksys, netgear, BT HomeHub)
- opening up multicast ports 224.0.0.0
- opening iptables to allow MP101's to send to any port
- upgrading to the latest MP101 firmware including the unofficial beta off the yahoo netgear support form
- done the MP101 hardware modifications (soldering extra capacitors into the device)
Has anyone any extra ideas.
Many thanks in anticipation of a solution....
