Did you find a way of doing this... I have the same problem.... Any help would be great...


Thanks

I am having the same issues with a BDP S570. The Pogoplug device is visible and pictures can be viewed but nothing else. The music folders are visible, but the player says that there aren't any playable files, even though they are MP3's. As for video, the video folder doesn't even show up.

I have set the media setting to enable streaming, which is why the pictures and folders show up. I can't figure out why the music is playable even though it's the correct format or why the videos don't show up at all.

sorry looks like your problem is that even the folder is not visible..ignore my last post

I've been looking into this. The BDP-370 doesn't support m4a files over DNLA (but does over USB pen drive) but should support mp3. I'm going to look into converting my music collection.

Have you made sure to enable streaming from the media settings page of the my.pogoplug.com site?

That's the one. You need to set it for each drive you might have connected to the plug.

Sorry to say that I'm still unable to stream media from my wifi Pogoplug drives to my wifi Sony media player. Got home and enabled both of my drives. Under "server connection" I re-scanned for the drives on the media player but the drives still do not show up. System information shows the correct IP address and the player works with internet. Do I need to change the IP or DNS settings? I'm able to see view videos from these drives on my wifi laptops. I feel as though I'm missing a step or a series of steps or have failed to enable/disable a setting.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

I've had the same problem - unfortunately only got round it by buying an iomega iconnect (don't all kill me at once...). The upnp/dlna side of it pushes mpeg 2 clips perfectly. Unfortunately it's about as flaky as a rusty old ship - the drives keep disappearing, the folder formation is awful and the whole ui is terrible.. but it DOES have dlna. Decisions, decisions....

The video files don't show up until you push the iconnect to scan for them.. then they magically appear in what were, upto then, empty folders. I wonder if that's a possibility on the pogoplug?

If any of you DO get to read this today (30th april) it's worth you going on a website in the UK (only I think) called groupon.com - they've got three months of lovefilm subscriptions for six pounds (which allows streaming on the sony). Sorry if this is off-topic but it could mean there's less of a reason to get rid of the pogoplug!

Hi i also have the Sony BDP-S570 and I am also looking to watch videos and listen to music on my Pogoplug. I only have the regular pogoplug not the newer black media one. mine is the old pink one. I was also noticing on the web page talking about the regular free software and the paid software. is any of this going to make a differance.

I guess no one knows the answer, or that there is no answer to this question.

Or at least no one (that works at pogoplug) cares to actually fix or even really respond to the forum questions.

because there doesn't seem to be any answers to any of these questions asked about pogoplug.

Oh i can get my sony to see the pogoplug just not see the movies or music i have on there.

the movies are in .VOB
and the music is in .mp3
so not much else to it.

Sounds kinda stupid for the Pogoplug people to claim that you can watch movies and listen to music from blueray players if they dont really offer that as a real option.

I can get my iPhone to work as long as I am at home in my own wifi but as soon as I get out of my wifi the iPhone app stops working.

I thought about getting something different but thought the pogoplug doesnt work well as a streaming device but great as an online storage that CAN be accessed from any computer. Just not stream music or movies. So I will still keep the pogoplug as an online storage.
