MagnusB Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I installed Powerpack on my desktop, and everything flows just nicely at the moment, but I notice that when I have that desktop running, my PS3 detects it as an media server, and allows me to browse some of the folders (most of them called gconf). I know that the PS3 use UPnP, but I didn't know that Powerpack came with this "pre installed", but if it does, I want to use it. Anyone have any idea what this is? And how I can configure it?

Dark Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I have a Playstation 3 and have been using my linux box for a media server since 2007.1 In root console type "urpmi mediatomb" Thats what I use for serving up audio and video to my PS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnusB Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I know of Mediatomb, but I was more curious about the Mandriva 2008.1 mediaserver that is discovered when my desktop is online.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermario Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I know of Mediatomb, but I was more curious about the Mandriva 2008.1 mediaserver that is discovered when my desktop is online.. I don't think I understand what you're getting at. Are you concerned that your PS3 was able to detect, connect to, and browse your desktop when you didn't configure your desktop to be a mediaserver? Have you looked into the MCC and checked the FW settings or any other network setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnusB Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I haven't done anything, installed Mandriva 2008.1, then I noticed that my PS3 finds the desktop as a Mediaserver, wondering what it is, and how to configure it. I think this is limited to Powerpack though, as one never had this "issue". I was hoping anyone knew what this was, and if it is a Mediaserver I want to use it, but I want to change the shared folders, as the current ones seems like configuration folders.

scarecrow Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 It probably detects the Pulse audioserver as a media server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnusB Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 It probably detects the Pulse audioserver as a media server. That makes sense, as lists gconfd-root, gconfd-magnus, pulse-magnus & .esd500 as folders. Well, better take a look at mediatomb again, or maybe I'll see if my license of Twonky still works..

Guest Egbert Jan Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi, new here... I would like to stop the upnp advertising! How do I switch it off??? Egbert Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 123456789 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi Egbert, I am not sure if you have the same issue I had but "python /usr/bin/coherence ..." (a DLNA/UPnP MediaServer ) was running on my machine which was showing up on my xbox360 as mandriva 2008.1. I disabled it via drakconf # drakconf (authenticate as root if required) System->"Manage system services by enabling or disabling them" uncheck "On boot" and hit "Stop" for coherence Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Egbert Jan Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Thanks. I found out myself and did the same. Iwished this was better documented in the release notes. Egbert Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I don't think it's actually intentional. Do you have Elisa installed? If you install Elisa and run it, it starts up Coherence automatically... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 123456789 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thanks for the note about Elisa. I checked on my server and it was installed but not running. Strange as I do not recall specifically selecting it for installation, perhaps I installed something else that had it as a prerequisite.

adamw Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Or someone decided to put it in the default install set... I think Coherence has probably kicked in. If you're not using Elisa, just remove it and remove all Coherence-related packages, that should shift it. I'll try and make sure to check this for 2009.

Guest rsreign Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I haven't done anything, installed Mandriva 2008.1, again I noticed that my PS3 finds the desktop as a Mediaserver, apprehensive what it is, and how to configure it. I anticipate this is bound to Powerpack though, as one never had this "issue". I was acquisitive anyone knew what this was, and if it is a Mediaserver I wish to use it, but I wish to change the aggregate folders, as the accepted ones seems like agreement folders.
