1 out 4 PC's is rendered as a PS3? Why only this one and why at all?

Post by pulp »

Quick question. Why is my son's PC considered a PS3 in the GUI? 4 PC's are ON, all running WIN7 but only the one with an IP of .242 is showing as a PS3 renderer, apart from the real PS3 streaming of course:

LOL YEah.... can't stop the streaming to get the Logs or I'll have 5 people pissed at me. :D
I thought there was a generic, simple or obvious answer. :)

Fellahs, surely there's some checkmark my son inadvertently set on his WIN7 PC to make it show up as a PS3 Renderer? Something in Sharing etc? Any obvious areas for me to un-check/un-set? I really don't like the aesthetics of seeing 2 devices in the GUI. LOL

I've experienced the same weirdness after upgrading to 5.0 (mac).

I had set only PS3 and Chromecast in the enabled renderer list. After some time it not only showed both these devices as detected renderers but also two android tablets, one samsung phone and my mac which are connected to our network - and they were all shown as "ps3". I looked up my UMS settings and unchecked "force default renderer" (default renderer was set as ps3) and after application reboot the odd detections were gone.

LOL!!! Looks like his Windows Media Player has been set as a DLNA Media Sharer or something? :lol:

Am I the only one who sees a PC in the GUI as a renderer? Or am I the only one where this action bugs his sense of aesthetics? LOL Srsly, is normal or not?
