I would prefer to get either of those two working if anybody has some thoughtsīy the way, these videos do play fine on the PC with media player classic and Klite codec pack as well as on the Mac with VLC installed. Went back to PS3 Media Server/Universal Media Server just to confirm, they still didn’t work. This did work and played a bunch of the videos that haven’t worked (over network) before. I also tried “Universal Media Server” with the same results.Īfter looking at a few media servers, tried the Vuze torrent client, which does have a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server component, albeit with a lot more clutter (including an installer that wants to hijack your browser with add-ons).

Since it does play these problem files while connected directly through a USB drive, I’m looking at the media server as at fault. Getting the “Unable to play selected file” error. For instance it would play one mkv file while not playing another with what seemed to be an identical video and audio CODEC. I’ve been using the WDTV Play for a while now and have been frustrated while streaming from PS3 Media Server hosted from a PC and a Mac.
