Buffalo LinkTheater PC-P3LWG/DVD not working on vista
Hi All,
I have a bit of trouble with the above. I am running the latest software (Ver 1.16 I think) and all was well with XP until I upgraded to Vista. I installed the software and now when trying to access the menus to set up the files to read from all I get is the hourglass permanently cycling. Would anyone either know if this is fixable on linktheater or if there is any other program that would do the same as linktheater and integrate with the Buffalo LinkTheater PC-P3LWG/DVD. Thanks in advance |

Satabobby,
Unfortunately not, however, I managed to get the Player to recognise windows through setting up the shared media in vista, It isn't as pretty as linktheater but it works. Bit of a shame but at least I won't have to part with my player. Andy "satyabobby" wrote: Andy;578600 Wrote: Hi All, I have a bit of trouble with the above.

I had the same problem - love the linktheater but could not use it upon upgrading to new computer with Vista. I installed wizdxp on my vista computer and it now works great with the link theater. Hope it works for you also. Here is the link to wizdxp. 'wizd media server' (http://wizd.sourceforge.net/features.htm) Here is the link for the download. Download the package 1.50 'SourceForge.net: Files' (http://tinyurl.com/3nmo7l) Good luck. -- bobd630 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Buffalo LinkTheater PC-P3LWG/DVD not working on vista
Yes I found the solution. This took quite some hunting. Tried Windows 7 media sharing, but does horrible job transcoding to what LinkTheater says it can support (I'm using this on an old SD TV in the bedroom). Tried two different networked media servers. Best one of these was wizdxp, but gui on LinkTheater box was bad. Finally found that "myiHome" program _IS_ the offspring of the old LinkTheater program I had running on my old XP system serving the media files to the Buffalo LinkTheater box for years. Same look on application screen. Same Preferences dialog. Same video Watch folders. This also came with 64-bit version that runs on Windows 7. Came with a couple of "skins," neither did a good job on the gui for the small screen. Then - leap of faith - I copied the "webapps\ROOT\theme" folders from an installation of the old LinkTheater program files folder into the new myiHome program files folder and wa'la ... The myiHome recognized the old LinkTheater files as another available skin for myiHome, and it worked !! Lost one feature which was the list of pages that were identified by range of file numbers on the top of long list of titles. This was handy, but new software allows typing in number, such as 61 - to go to the 61st title in the list, so I think this is better. I hope you find this posting before you spend the hours I did trying not to have to go buy another media player!! -- JRW99 |
