[Solved] Everthing was working....until it wasn't again (PS3 and PS4)
Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2021 8:01 am
Hi Folks -
Well, almost exactly one year after my last cry for help, I have another situation...but different in what occurs.
I use both a wired connection to my PS3 and a wireless one to PS4. (I have always preferred PS3's media player to PS4's....it's always been more reliable.) Things were working fine about 2 weeks ago, but PS3 just had an update, and obviously both PS4 and Windows PCs (Win 10) have had multiple updates over the past year. Basically:
-PS3 now lags, slowly finding folders, and when it finally opens one, it spits out DNLA protocol error (2006) has occurred, and if I wait a bit it will ultimately say "There are no images" or "There is no playable media." Oddly, sometimes a TRANSCODE folder appears and sometimes it doesn't. An older forum entry indicated moving the Transcode preference to MEncoder may help, but it did not. Before, PS3 almost always worked...either on the "main" video or, at the very least, one of the transcoded ones. Images appeared lickety-split.
-PS4; same issue, basically. It always moved a bit slower (including for images), but it would work.
Soooo, I updated the UMS from version 9.8.1 that I had (where the error started occurring) to the current version, hoping that would help. I also noticed my Java was out of date, so I updated that, as well. Same issue occurred.
I am still using ESET Internet Security as I was last year, but last year's issue was an erroneous selection of the networking device. (Then again, last year it wouldn't even find the media server. My issue NOW is that it finds the media server just fine--and the folders I'm sharing--but won't play anything.)
As requested, I am attaching the ZIP file of the TRACE logs. I hope a mind brighter than mine can spot something my aging brain cannot. I have LOVED using UMS for many years and hope this is just a weird update/user error issue.
Thanks for any assistance ahead of time!
