I'm trying to use the DLNS server on the TNAP 3 image (miniDLNA?) but am running into 2 problems:
- it caches the content of the hard drive (meta data) and does not seem to update it, so it quickly ends up displaying an obsolete list of recordings. I have not found a way to update it.
- I can't seem to be able to fast-forward, which of course is a must when the recording contains commercials

Is there any other DLNA server that can be used on this box?

In the end, my goal is to be able to play my recordings via a Roku in other rooms. If anyone has any suggestions on others ways of doing this, i'm very open to suggestions. I have not found a way of browsing network shares from the roku

Thanks!

"Roku Media Player" app can browse network shares. It can also play HEVC stuff, IF your Roku is a 4k model.

I can't answer your question about using the Mio as a DLNA server though. Personally, I wouldn't use it that way as it's not its 'best use'. Otherwise, Legitfta.com is TNAP's home where it's built and maintained from, and IF you really want to do it, I'd post a thread over there. El Bandido will not necessarily see or do anything to help unless a post is made over there. He's not on this site.

Check into Emby, and consider using and older pc or laptop as a DLNA server. For that matter, Windows 10 has a very GOOD built-in DLNA server that I've used with my Ryzen 5 laptop. It also will work with 4k HEVC stuff. You simply have to activate it, and perhaps train your antivirus to open the needed ports. You will have to with McAfee, if you are using it.

Thanks for the info Mike!

I'll look into Emby and see if that can help

well, I think I made some progress... I copied a video file from my PC to the MIO - an m4v file - and not only did it show up in DLNA without having to touch the DLNA server, but when I play that file in the Roku (and same with the Firestick), I can fast forward.

So one answer to my question is that fast forward works for m4v files, but not with TS files. And of course the MIO recordings are TS files, so that does not help me more, but in the end, the problem is not the miniDLNA server.

I looke din the option in the Roku Media Player and it seems that DLNA is the only network protocol it does... no SMB, no NFS. So maybe there are different versions depending on the Roku (mine is definitely not a 4K, I think it's a Roku Express)

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I just heard about this Dish Anywhere. I have a Hopper in the living room, a Joey in the basement, and antenna tv in the bed room. As I understand it I can get rid of my Joey I could save a few bucks but that tv and the bedroom tv are not smart tv's. How would I handle that? If with a Firestick what remote would I use or would I have to use 2 of them? I have good internet with starlink so wifi wouldn't be a problem. If someone could guide me to a link that a old man could understand I would appreciate it.

Rambling about picture quality.

Satellite channels with the Joey 4 look better on the old 65 LG oled than with the Hopper 3 on the newer Sony 77 oled.

I don't have a Hopper Plus.

Maybe the satellite picture quality with the Hopper Plus would be better than the Hopper 3 satellite box?

Trying streaming from Dish Anywhere app to see if the stream is better than sat.

Picture using Dish Anywhere on my latest Apple TV 4K box on the channel I'm watching started out alternating between fuzzy and clear.

The picture stabilized after a few minutes.

I have an old Apple TV HD connected to and big older TV.

I had to remove Dish Anywhere application and reinstall it to get it working on the old TV with the Apple TV HD.

I hooked up a Google box to a non oled 43 inch LG 4K set.

The Google box Dish Anywhere combination looks and works great.

Wonder what the picture quality will be with a wireless Joey 4 for the satellite chanels?

The Hopper3 outputs 1080i unless the content requires 1080P or 2160P (4K)
The Plus and the Joey4s upscale all content to 2160P, and also flag the content as HDR regardless of the actual color profile. How the TV will handle that depends on the HDMI setting.

So, it's possible that the difference you are seeing is related to the upscaling performance, or the possible HDR settings on your TV.

This information makes me want to try a Plus or Joey4 on my newer 77 Sony oled to see if the picture is better.

I wonder if the Wireless Joey 4 will output to my 32 inch QHD (2K) computer monitor?

I once hooked up an Apple TV box to my computer monitor and it worked I think.

I don't know what resolution the Apple TV was sending to the computer monitor.

I'm very pleased with the picture from the Joey4 on my TV.

The satellite channels picture quality from the Hopper 3 on my newer 77 Sony oled could be better.

Perhaps the satellite channels being output 1080i?

Maybe it is the large screen size?

I am not sure why the picture seems a little less good from the Hopper 3 on my newer 77 Sony oled?

I have tried the Joey4 on an older 43 inch 4K LG non oled that doesn't do HDR.

Joey4 is great!!!

Can't wait to get the Wireless Joey 4.

Maybe a Plus or Joey4 newer would look better on my 77 inch TV?

Thank you for your help.

we have a 77 inch oled sony our hopper 3 looks amazing on it!! as good as direct would and for the standard def channels it upscales awesome. i wonder if it's something in the tv settings or something going on with the hopper.. 🤔 we have an LG oled tv in the truck with an apple tv and it looks great to using dish anywhere. the joey 4's are an awesome client!!!

Sony uses LG OLED Display panels but the electronics makes the difference in the processing of the signal.

As for Dish Anywhere, your speed is the full WiFi/Ethernet speed at home so it's giving maximum bandwidth available and should still be good on the iPhone when at home. When you are using an external connection, it is limited by the upload speeds of your internet connection depending what you have. For me, I have 1.4Gbps download but 42Mbps upload and of course DISH Anywhere does not use the full 42Mbps either.

About the Sony. This is correct.

Models change and companies change every year sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but Sony has generally been good.

I think there was a Sony oled one year that used a Samsung panel and may have been great.

I think TCL is going to start making stuff for Sony.

I just ordered a Hopper Plus but I will be hesitant to use it because of the greater complexity having to have one more thing plugged into my Hopper 3.

I don't know how the Hopper Plus will affect the picture quality.

With the Hopper Plus plugged into the Hopper 3 it will be every hole filled.

I don't know which one of the three USB ports I should plug the Hopper Plus into?

On the bright side with the Hopper Plus I should be able to view and control Google Home on my big screen.

For Dish Anywhere I am sure network/internet connection is important.

You can get a USB Hub and plug it into one of the rear USB ports and expand on your inputs without using the USB port on the front of your Hopper 3.

sony does use LG panels is correct. and the electronics do make a difference in the processing of the signal wich is also true. though sony also cherry picks the panels to.

I'm still experimenting with OTA antennas at my new apartment. The mudflap works OK, but we had a dust/wind/rain storm the other day and it all but blew it away. I moved it indoors where the antenna is safer but the signals are marginal.

I bought a traditional Yagi antenna from Amazon and it seems to work more consistently, plus it's meant for outdoors where the mudflap is not.

Anyway, I've had success using umbrella bases paired with a fence post for satellite dishes, and I figured that could work for this as well. I'm just not sure where or what to get and what size pole for this application.

My favorite receiver besides the amazing Hopper 3 was the DishPlayer 7200. I loved that thing as buggy as it was. It was the future!
I had both the 7100 and 7200 dishplayer starting in 1999. My first exposure to the internet at my house using the WebTV feature. We loved it till they had a fight between Microsoft and DISH and then I can't remember how many of those damn boxes I ended up replacing till I just gave up and went with a regular receiver again and used it with my VCR.

But then the 501 PVR came out and the 510 and the 522 standard def receiver but it still didn't have name-based recording. Then the 942 receivers were even better with built in ota tuner and name- based recording. Had two of those in 2005. But only 250GB hard drive for like 25 hours of HD recording, but it did have dual room use, like the 722k that came later did.

Didn't they add the NBR at some point to the 50x series? I stayed away from dishplayer and my instincts were right.
Before the 3000, 4000 and 5000 there was the 2000. It came in two versions, one IR and the deluxe model was UHF. Looked just like the later receivers. The 4000 was a huge piece of junk, it suffered from random dropouts they never fixed. I think Charlie admitted to it being due to the chipset in one of the chats.
All I ever saw or heard about were the 3000 and 4000, which came out at launch in 1996. They actually had 2 lines of them, Echostar branded and HTS (remember that?) branded. Same model #s, though. Neither of them were particularly problematic to my observation. I never saw such described issues with the 4000. It was my main go-to because I liked to offer remote room use.

So this 2000, was it some kind of pre-launch receiver, like a demonstrator? Having the option of either UHF or IR under the same model # seems odd. Is there a pic of this box anywhere?

One also needs to remember that in the same timeframe DTV (through its partnering mfr's) didn't offer radio remote. DiSH was different in taking its manufacturing in-house, but of course that was its previous Echosphere/Echostar c-band model, since its purchase of HTS. And probably most of the c-band systems they sold were UHF remote.

It looked identical to the 3000 and some were labeled 2200. No IR blaster for the VCR, I can't remember if the 3000 had one or not, the 4000 certainly did.

That may have been reserved to the 5000, if it was available in the early models at all. It was not a 4000 feature as far as I remember. I really first recall it with 4700 (and not 3700).
