ps3 and twonky on d-link dns-323

Posted on Wednesday 20 August 2008

i bit the bullet and purchased a license for the twonky server on the d-link dns-323 nas. i’ve tried other solutions, but none were as reliable as the twonky server, i’m sad to say. it really upsets me that there isn’t a good open source solution, but i guess we’re talking about a pretty limited platform, so i shouldn’t really be complaining.

full video streaming works just fine on the ps3 with the twonky server, i’m happy to report. i did have some issues getting it to work with the twonky server version 4.4.6, so i downgraded to 4.4.5 and all seems to be working well. not sure exactly what is going on there…

so right now, to make the ps3 truly perfect, these are the things that i wish it had:

  • samba support (!! this seems like it’d be an easy thing to add, what is the deal here?)
  • mkv support. i want my hi-def downloaded tv shows to play on the ps3 natively!
  • tv tuner support (i would be willing to pay a fair amount for a very good solution here)
  • DVR support with tv tuning

    i think that’s about it.
