WMP11, XP, Iomega NAS, DLNA Sony

Hi,
Can someone advise me if WMP11 can share photos that are on a NAS to a DLNA
compliant Sony LCD? I can use the files and folders on my NAS in WMP11
locally using media sharing. When I go to my TV to view the photos located on
the WMP11 server, I can't see the anything from the NAS. Do you know if WMP11
will share a NAS folder to a DLNA client and act as a "middle man"? I don't
understand why WMP11 can utilize all the folders and files on the NAS locally
but can't provide them via DLNA to the TV. The TV recognizes the WMP11 server
(and local photos) and the NAS DLNA server (twonky) when I enable DLNA on it.
The reason I am trying to get the NAS photos to work by going through WMP11
is that there is some reason why the NAS and TV don't communicate properly. I
don't know if this is a Sony problem or Iomega. I downloaded and tried Twonky
Media Mangager and it was capable of showing everything, but is a trial.
Ideally I eventually would like to get the TV and Iomega working nicely but
for now I am trying this. Any ideas?????

A device supporting DNLA is one thing. DNLA certification is another.
My experience is that a lot of these DNLA implementations on a NAS don’t
work properly including an Iomega NAS I owned a couple of years ago

I expect:

WMP and NAS both using media sharing:
WMP will show 2 different libraries, one of its own and another on the NAS
WMP will broadcast only its own library

You might try
WMP with file sharing to the media on the NAS
Now the content on the NAS will become part of the WMP library and displayed
on the TV

Vincent,
First, thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. I am a bit
confused about your comment regarding "WMP with file sharing to the media on
the NAS". My current setup on WMP11 is set for sharing. I have also linked
the folders on the NAS to the library on WMP. I currently can view all NAS
folders (music, photos, videos) in WMP on the laptop, but I can not view them
on the TV. I can only view the laptop's pics on the TV (music doesn't stream
to my TV. This is an inherant inability of the Sony DLNA software - it can
only stream pictures). The folder from the NAS does not even show up on the
TV as an available option. Is there some way to make this available? If so,
can you explain how to do this in WMP11?
Thank you for your time and pardon my ignorance in this topic.

Sharing:
There are 2 options
Media sharing= UPnP/DLNA sharing using the UPnP protocol (Share my Media)
File sharing: adding a path to the monitored folders

If I understand you correctly you added the files on the NAS to the
monitored folders (file sharing) so they show up as a integral part of WMP’s
library.
In this case one expect them to be shown on the TV as well
I know there are a couple of knowledge base articles in the Microsoft
website about this as there is a problem with (media) sharing fileslocated on
external devices (access rights)
I’m afraid I can’t supply a direct link.

I don't have an NAS drive or a Sony, but do have a Pioneer 151 that is DLNA
certified and stream media to it from a Media Center PC through a router
connected by ethernet cable to the TV. A few things I would check. First -
format. Is what is on the NAS supported by the TV? Second, sharing. What
"controls" the NAS? Does this pc see the TV? Is it set to share media to
the TV?

I was afraid the answer would not be as simple as clicking an unchecked box
here or there. I have searched extensively through A/V forums, etc. but can't
find out how to fix this. I would think that as these complex setups (NAS,
laptop, desktop, DLNA TV, etc) become more common-place that more people will
be running into problems such as this. The strange part of this is the free
Twonky Media Manager works just like I want WMP to work, but I don't know
why. I will continue the quest for an answer. I browsed to the link you
provided a few days ago from a previous post of yours. It didn't help to
solve my problem. Wasn't the whole point of DLNA to make things "talk" to
each other effortlessly? Ha, Ha.
Thank you for you advice.

BTW, I am not British, just a polite American.

Twonkey is a very mature implementation of UPnP

>>I would think that as these complex setups (NAS,
laptop, desktop, DLNA TV, etc) become more common-place that more people
will be running into problems such as this<<

They will, the moment they try it….

IMHO, the concept behind UPnP is good, at the present the implementation in
a lot of products is a little feeble

Thanks for responding. The TV can only recognize .jpg format pictures via
DLNA. This is what I am trying to get the NAS to serve to the TV. When I
first bought the NAS (Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive 1tb), I connected
to my router, installed the software included on my computers and loaded my
media to it. The NAS runs some scaled down, unaccessable verision of twonky.
I enabled DLNA sharing in the pictures folder and the TV found the NAS when I
told it to look. When I went to view the pics, some folders show up with a
few pictures (no thumbnails show up) in each and I can only view about 10 out
of like 4000. All album art shows up from my music folder however. So I gave
up on that setup for now and enabled media sharing in WMP11 (XP!!), added the
NAS folders to my library and was successful in viewing pics, playing .mp3's,
etc. on the local computer. The TV was added to WMP shared devices and it can
see my laptop as WMP. The TV can only see the folders on the local hard drive
on the laptop, the NAS folders do not show up on the TV at all. Like I
mentioned to Vincent, Twonky Media Manager (free for 30 days, tick...tick...)
works perfect for all NAS and local folders, running off my laptop. Should I
be happy with this setup and quit while I have something working or press on
for a reason why WMP can't do this? I hate to quit when I think something
should work. Any ideas???

Have you tried this one?:
It is about WMP on XP and access rights to other computers

As the NAS is running Twonky try
http://IPNas:9000/webbrowse

If this works, you can inspect what Twonky on the NAS is publishing

http://IPNas:9000 is the configuration page of Twonky
If it is blocked, you need Telnet access on the NAS to change it's
configuration file
Change enableweb=0 into enableweb=2

Here is the "funny" part. After I hooked up the NAS to my router, loaded the
included Iomega software on each client computer and upgraded the NAS
firmware. After the upgrade, I can no longer access the webbrowse :9000. I
receive a "Access is restricted to server configuration" message in the
browser. I can only access the NAS settings via Iomega's software (loaded on
each computer). I can only make limited changes as a result. This "problem"
pertaining to web access is all over the posts on the Iomega forum.
Apparently Iomega intended to do this. Why? I don't know. As my computer
knowledge is self taught and limited, I will research Telnet access and see
what I can find out and how to do what you are asking me to try. I also
printed the article you referenced in your previous reply and will give the
security settings a look. As I am at work doing this, I will have to wait
until tonight to try these suggestions. Please continue to reply if you think
of anything else.
Thanks again.

>>>After the upgrade, I can no longer access the webbrowse :9000. I

browser.<<<<

Just to make sure, this is the error you get when trying to access the
Twonky configuration page as it is listening by default to :9000
In general this is locked to avoid conflicts between the NAS GUI/settings
and Twonky

Most of the time IPnas:9000/webbrowse/ works as it is a read only (browsing)
interface.

In 2007 I had a Iomega.
To much problems with the UPnP, unable to get Telnet access, unable to
browse directories if more than a couple of files in it, etc.
I sold the unit and bought a Qnap.
I'm still using it today
It runs Twonky but using the Qnap interface you can simply get access to the
Twonky interface and configure it.

I have not tried accessing the :9000/webbrowse, only :9000. I will also try
that. If it does work and I can inspect what twonky the NAS is publishing,
what should I do then? I know a lot of Iomega owners were put off by the loss
of access to the NAS via this method, so hopefully with the next firmware
upgrade, we get access back. There is a list of requests to be included with
the next firmware update on the Iomega forum about 30 items deep and
counting. I should have researched more about this drive prior to purchase. I
was sucked in by the price per gb. I must say however that I have had no
problems with accessing the files stored on the NAS on my computers. It is
just this one function I am having trouble with (DLNA...it's the future.
Right???? Not if this is the way it will be).

>>>I should have researched more about this drive prior to purchase
That is excatly what I said to myself in 2007 after buying a Iomega.
Best is to check user forum's first.

>>DLNA...it's the future. Right?

Yes but we talk UPnP 1.5 or so.
The concept is right
It is supported by almost any major manufacturer of consumer electronics
But it will need some time to get mature.

>>If it does work and I can inspect what twonky the NAS is publishing, what should
I do then?

If everything is in place in the browser interface it is a indication that
Twonky on the NAS at least is able to scan and publish your entire collection
on the NAS.
If the TV is not able to see part of it you might check things like file
formats, the numer of items in a folder, etc.
The problem is to isolate the problem.

Update:
WMP11 is fully functional with the TV. Upon attempting various things in the
referenced article you mentioned, it now forwards the folders on the NAS to
the TV. I "enabled remote content sharing" in the registry of the laptop. I
am also going to attempt this on my desktop to see if that will work (the
desktop has other sharing issues - a story for another forum). I also checked
my firewall settings (both windows and norton) but they were OK. I also went
into the NAS folders to check each type of file. I had 3 .avi files mixed
into the .jpg folders. I removed them. I can now see many more pictures on
the TV from the NAS via DLNA but this is still in need of improvement. I have
some other types of picture files to remove from the folders to see if that
does the trick. I was able to access the NAS twonky server per your
:9000/webbrowse suggestion. It is running Twonkyvision GmbH (TwonkyMedia
Model 4.4 (no further version number). Interestingly I could use the browser
as a viewer of pictures (this is how I saw some video files were mixed in).
Anyway, I will continue to work on the NAS - TV direct delivery of pictures
over the weekend, but for today, WMP is fully functional. Thanks for your
help.

P.S., what is the difference between quicktime pictures and the .jpeg or
..jpg format? Does WMP convert quicktime to .jpg?
