Has anyone managed to see the Buffalo LinkStation Pro Duo LS-WTGL/R1 when you search for media players? If so, how? The device states it is compatible with all DLNA media players, which according to the DLNA website, includes the PS3. However, as I was searching around the Buffalo forums there was lots of mention of there being two different versions of this device. R1 having only one USB on the back and R3 having two (don't know where R2 went). Many seem to think that the R1 firmware will not work with the PS3 but that R3 will. The thing is that R1 is the only one listed on the Buffalo web site and I can't find a single reference on the Web to a R3 device available for sale or even a general reference to it. I bought this device (after returning another NAS) because it said it was DLNA compatible and I should be able to stream my music and pictures to the PS3. Any help or suggestions would be great?

:D

Well after multiple posts I realized it was my own fault that it wouldn't work. Just in case other have trouble this is what fixed it for me...

Log into you web admin.

go to "Media Server" tab

Enable the media server at the top then scroll down to the Data Base refresh settings

Check the "refresh now" box and click apply



that should do the job
