Unable to play music and videos between Mac and PS3

Post by gweilo97 » Sun Apr 27, 2008 1:01 am

Hi, brand new to TwonkyVision and this forum. Hope you guys can help me here.

I'm running TwonkyVision on my XP pc and Mac (Leopard - latest version), and streaming content to my PS3 and Xbox 360. The pc streams everything fine to both consoles but the Mac will only stream to the Xbox 360. When I use the PS3 to stream music or video content from the Mac, I get "Media Server Errors". I can see all the music and video files (and thumbnails) ok and can also view all the images on the Mac correctly. Streaming the same files to the Xbox 360 from the Mac, from the same Twonky server all works fine - for the same files.

Twonky on the Mac is set up ok as far as I can see. All devices using static IPs and Twonky on the Mac set to use the same static IP as the Mac.

From the logs on the Mac from Twonky I'm seeing...

LOG_DB:creating Database
LOG_DB:database check ok
LOG_SYSTEM:upnp_server_start IP init: 192.168.0.4
LOG_SYSTEM:upnp_server_start server interface 192.168.0.4
LOG_SYSTEM:upnp_server_start HTTP Server starting at 192.168.0.4:9000
LOG_HTTP:HTTP_accept HTTP server started at http://192.168.0.4:9000/
LOG_SSDP:SSDP_heartbeat could not bind to 192.168.0.4:1900
LOG_SCANfilescanner thread started
LOG_SYSTEM:upnp_file_open_write file open write error "/bin/.tv"

Not sure if this is relevant here.

Have you guys any ideas what's going on here?

I've also tried EyeConnect on the Mac and this streams content fine to the PS3 - the very same files (the music tracks are MP3 files).

The PS3 can connect fine to the internet and pc Twonky server. An error code 80710723 was shown earlier when trying to play the music MP3 file with Twonky on the PS3.

PS3 and Mac are both wireless, and connected to the same router.

Many thanks

Jason
