DLNA Server -> Recursive Menu Issue with Custom Views
« on: April 21, 2010, 06:44:07 pm »

Hi, I added a bunch of custom views for the Audio section, and I most likely saved over the default views that ship with MC14.

I have now enabled the DLNA server for both Xbox and PS3.

Xbox seems to work ok, but PS3 shows a recursive menu.  When I goto Music on the PS3, and find MC14 DLNA server, and try to browse, it just repeats the same menu over and over as I drill down into it.

I've searched the forum, and I see several posts that indicate if you mess with the Custom views that ship with MC, it produces this behaviour, but I haven't read anything about how to fix it.  How do I reset all views, and will this fix my problem?

Thanks in advance,
Davis

There is a right click option somewhere in the tree that lets you restore the default views, but it might be better to just switch to MC15, where there has been a lot of progress with DLNA.

I'll move this thread to the MC14 board later.

Hi Jim, I downloaded and installed MC 15.0.28.  I did not import my old settings, so all the standard views are whatever is setup by default.

I imported my audio files into it (not the library)..just had it rebuild a new library from the files.

I started the DLNA server. I enabled PS3 support on the options.

Same problem still exists.  The menu just recursively repeats itself and never shows any files it just shows:

Audio>
Images>
Video>
Playlists>

If you navigate any of those, the menu repeats itself.  I've tried messing around with the advanced settings, but nothing I've tried so far seems to make a difference.

I've posted a screenshot of my latest attempt:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I think you need to use the ADD button and add a PS3 server.

I fixed it.  This works with PS3:

I haven't tried with Xbox360.  That used to work for me with MC14...which is why I enabled WMC support, but I'm not sure which tick box I unchecked here makes PS3 start working, and not sure if Xbox360 will still work configured this way, but I'll test it later.

Thanks for the prompt responses.

The WMC and PS3 options should be mutually exclusive. A fix to add...
The way it's handled now is to have separate servers for each.
