Sony SMP N100 Media Player

[rdoac]

The HDHomerun is not showing up at all in the list of upnp servers (this I think is a ps3 based media player - but I may be wrong) , although it is available on other devices.

The media player plays mpeg2 perfectly from other sources.

I have a SMP-N200 and it is not showing up in it either, thought it might have been just me or my network setup.

Ok I found out my problem, your mileage may vary but its worth a shot. On the smp browse to Set-up -> network settings -> server connection settings and see if it is listed in there as "hidden" once I marked it as shown it connected right up and is playing some HD channels over wifi as we speak. No DTCP-IP Support though, but something is better then nothing

Thanks, will look tonight, but I think I went there last night to erase all the old playon servers I had before I settled on the windows machine I was going to run it on.

I deleted all and then rescanned. It only came up with my MythTV server (as the playon was suspended at the time).

Just had a look again, it's not working for me. I can't get it to list at all in my serverlist. My two other upnp servers are listed and I can see it on xbmc so I know it's there.

The sony tells me that I am using the latest firmware, so it's not that.

Firmware from 1/25 seems to have got this working now. I get most channels. I had MythTV streaming BBCA on Tuner2, and the Sony seemed to thing that the DLNA version of this was in an invalid format, other channels worked.

Scrolling through all the channels is a pain, but the picture/sound quality is good.

I've got a SMP-N100, and after fighting a firewall issue got the firmware updated.

To anyone with Sony experience, what web address and ports do Sony use to determine if their boxes are 'connected to the internet'. In my own home network my N100 box refuses to admit it's got internet connectivity even when it can play youtube videos? anyway:

Running firmware M05.R.084
Updated from M05.R.075 and the following was true of both firmwares:

HDHomerun Prime shows up fine "HDHomeRun Live DMS"

Channels come up as streams, and those channels listed under "Cable TV", even the HD ones work fine...

It throws a "There is no playable File." error when you select "Premium Cable TV", not even displaying the channel list.

Video is smooth and clear with the wired connection, however it's choppy, artifact ridden, and generally difficult to watch when joined to the wireless of a WRT54GS 1.1 loaded with DD-WRT with excellent signal. I Have not tried my Asus N10+ yet.

For full disclosure:

Firmware on SMP-N100: M05.R.084

Firmware on HDHR Prime: 20130125beta1

HDHR Prime Model: HDHomeRun Prime HDHR3-CC

Netgear JGS510 gigabit 16 port network switch

Smoothwall Express 2.0 firewall/server (oldie but goodie and if it ever dies I'll upgrade it), UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) support enabled.
