I searched the forums and could not find an answer so here goes - my HWS "sees" our PS3 media server just fine. The PS3 media server is located on a desktop on another floor. The response from the HWS is a little 'glitchy' in that sometimes the files all show and sometimes they don't and sometimes the HWS likes the mp4 files ok . . and sometimes it doesn't. I generally convert from handbrake but it seems a complete random deal as to when it will play the mp4 files - seems to depend on the original source before encoding.
BUT glitchiness aside - why do I have to enter my 4-digit pin every time I select the 'Home Media' icon on the HWS? There is no parent protection enabled on the HWS. There IS parent protection enabled on a few of our Joeys and (as an experiment) I switched off parent protection on all the Joeys, came back to the HWS Home Media and STILL had to enter the four-digit PIN to access the PS3 media server. Why?
