I can't download large files or my ps3 disconnects from my access point in the middle of the download

Hi, morphinapg

Can you confirm that this happens with a wired network connection? Sometimes Wireless connections can be a bit flaky.

could you guys please fix the issue with transfering larger files, when i try to transfer a file 2 gigs and under it works fine, but anything over 2.7 gigs gives an error. I'm sure i'm not the only one with this problem.

[zeo_max]

I already answered the large files question. If you guys would just do a little search for god's sake !

Go to C:\Program Files\Red Kawa\File Server\core

In this "core" folder make another folder called "files"

Dump your large videos in there.

Then, on your PS3's browser go to : http://<insert ip address here>:8192/files

You must type that address directly, if you browse to the folder, it will NOT work

And Viola, problem solved

BTW, expect some weird behavior from your PS3 when doing this. It will not know the size of the file, and you will not see how much % of the file have been downloaded. But trust me, the file will download.

bro, file server doesnt exsist anymore it's now media center. In media center the only way you could access ur harddrive is through the document and settings folder. The link you gave wont work.

I'm telling you how to do it. I guess you just don't wanna listen. It works perfectly for me. Oh, and the media center is just a newer version of file server. They work the same.

thies isn't a bug, as of kawa's fault.

certain filesystems (ps3's, fat 32, fat 16, others) do not support files over 2.?? gig. The fix can be done 2 ways use higher compression on the source file to make it less than 2.?? gig or 2 use an avi/mpeg splitter on the source/compressed file to create 2 (or more) files.

To perform download via the 'My Files' section in the mediacenterx on Linux (and probably OSX) replacement of / to \\ shouldn't be run. Different handling of the filestructure is needed. Probably a check if is access to a Unix or Win filesystem before doing this:
file = file.replace('/','\\');
Which I don't know why but I'm guessing it is MS specific and not needed on other platforms AFAIK.

Kind regards.

Guess you already have noticed the import in files.jsp in the 'My Music' area should be
<%@page import="redKawa.mediaCenter.music.*"%>
and not
<%@page import="redKawa.mediaCenter.Music.*"%>
since unix and OSX is more case sensitive but I'm guessing this shouldn't work in MS either.

Also running MediaCenter.jar like this:
java -Dorg.mortbay.util.FileResource.checkAliases=False -jar MediaCenter.jar
makes symbolic links work in Linux and OSX which is nice when I want to link in music from other portions of my file system.

I was looking for a fix for that - thanks. works great.

Hello all, just joined the site, took a look at the old site where i was a member for awhile... lots of spam!
Anyway, great site, and i,am not reporting a bug as such, just the ability to stream from the default folders My Music etc, instead of copying everything to RedKawas own directory.
Just a thought.

Cheers. :)

I was having some problems getting the PS3 MCX to work, but I got it. The problem was being caused by a # character being in the name of a folder. If there is a #, you can't download anything below that level. Once I changed the folder name and took it out, it worked. Also, ! works in a folder name.

It would also be nice if you could change where you wanted to point to for Music, Video and Pics instead of having to move them to a specific folder.

Hi,
Using Ubuntu Linux, version 7.04 which has java -version 1.4.2-02 (is this too old ??)
When trying to run the jar file using:
java -jar MediaCenter.jar

I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: mediaCenter/WebServer (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

new bug:

When setting a new start-up default directory for files, do not forget the trailing slash.

For example: c:\redkawa will seem to work but the files will not be able to be downloaded to the ps3 until its changed to c:\redkawa\

[dotdotdotenter]

anytime i try to download a file with the .mkv extension it will just say "Insert storage media at the save destination." Instead of letting me download straight to the ps3 harddrive.
