How can I share ISO games with ps3 over local network from my NAS server (qnap-ts251)?
Now I use webMAN on PS3 + PS3 NET Server GUI on PC to share ISO games with ps3 over local network.
May be PS3 NET Server available for linux, or can I use webMAN + one of protocols (ftp, smb...?) to share ISO games with ps3 over local network (for I can run ISO images without copy them manually to PS3) ?

You should have a look at the Readme file recently made for the Raspberry Pi ps3netsrv. It will give you a general idea...

In a nutshell, you need a PS3 server build that runs on your NAS & you must configure everything properly.

If the Intel/Linux binary release (most likely x86 in your case) included in the webMAN-MOD_1.43.20 RAR file or in post 657, doesn't work you will need to use the source to compile a build of the new version specific to the architecture of your NAS, yourself.

It's a bit outdated but this A how to guide for ARM & Intel NAS servers - QNAP NAS Community Forum should help with the compilation if you need. .

If I remember correctly, you can either deploy the ps3netsrv executable manually on your NAS or use the QNK from Qnap (the SDK to release apps for NAS) which seems overkill...?

After deployment, if you want to configure the, NAS to run your ps3 server automatically, you will find the necessary info: here.

Edit: unless you prefer to keep using your PC to serve files located on the NAS.... In which case just use ps3netsrv for PC GUI to mount the NAS folder containing your ISOs. (it might not work though, I remember having problems when trying to mount a mapped network drive before but you can still try anyway. If it does work, it's likely to be much less efficient this way than serving directly from your NAS, you would probably have to avoid using wifi & stick to ethernet (or PLC) for bandwidth issues, or at least a mixture of the 2 ??)

If I disable the category filter in webman, rescan after deleting the old mygames.xml, it will display all of my games (minus them being in category folders) but if I reenable the category filter, it mucks up the file again with games miscounted and disorganized (having the spinning arrows in the first several entries and still having PSX games in the PS3 type folder for example). I hope this helps & makes sense.

Were you able to figure this one out?
I have the same problem on my Slim

Why don't you send your files to [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] or post them here. More info can only help..

Turn off auto scan at start, and try use refresh xml instead. If you click on refresh xml then wait 2-3 minutes even if it look that scan is finished. After that reset ps3 and check that help.

not sure, but it might not be entirely webman's fault. I don't have much experience with webman since I don't play my ps3 at all, but I can tell u that some games, perhaps in the sfo, will have a funny or a weird name. on the 360, for example, duke nukem forever is named "Bullseye," and the system will read it as such within freestyle dash. the same could be happening here. it's just a guess really. the ps3 normally sorts games by date created btw, so that could also be the reason for ur issue.

Datalogger · Dec 19, 2015

Well I found a work-around... not too elegant, but it works.
I have both an old CHECHA01 Phat with Rogero 4.46 Cobra and a CECH-2001A Slim running Rebug 4.76.1

On the old Phat, I have a copy of webMAN 1.29mod that is connected to the same net server as my Slim with webMAN MOD 1.43.16
I can create the mygames.xml file just fine on the old wm1.29, then copy the file over to the Slim's wm1.43.16, turn off all scanning and it works fine.

A little bit of a pita, but I'm good with it.

I'm sure it's not webMAN's fault at all, I'm seriously abusing it due to the shear size of my PS3/PS1 library on the netserver.
I remember years back working with Dean to get webMAN to scan my PS1 library (a complete set of 1145** disks split evenly on two Shares) [**revised lower, I was counting both the BIN and CUE]

We were able to squeeze the code to get it to do all the PS1 plus my smaller library of about 100 PS3 games.

Maybe I'll look into seeing if I can squeeze the newer code to work again... I still have my notes on the mods to 1.29c

Code:

What to search and replace:

if(key>1488) break;				//Change #1 Here - was >1020 

if(res.dir_size>1866) res.dir_size=1866; 	//Change #2 Here - was 866 (both)

char skey[1490][10]; 				//Change #3 Here - was [1024][10]

if(webman_config->foot==2) //MAX                  Change #4 Listed below
	{
		BUFFER_SIZE_FTP = ( 128*1024); 	        // Was 256
		BUFFER_SIZE     = ( 448*1024);          // Was 640
		BUFFER_SIZE_PSX = ( 640*1024);          // Was 192
		BUFFER_SIZE_PSP = (  64*1024);          // No Change
		BUFFER_SIZE_PS2 = (  64*1024);          // Was 128
		BUFFER_SIZE_DVD = (  64*1024);          // Was 256
	}

If you are submit bug report like this then info about ~2300 games can be helpful... You have memory usage set to highest option in webman setting?

Edit: BTW. Your problem can be probably resolved by setting higher buffer sizes (specially for PSX) in games.xml.h file.

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be a bug report, more of a question to the poster that was submitting a bug earlier to see what was done with his issue in case I could use it also.

And yes, I have everything set to the max, but it won't work even if I turn off one of the two shared directories.
It just puts everything into the PS3 list, including the PS1 games plus a few hundred spinning blank entries. (and this is with it set to Group MyGames)

Like I said, this is not a webMAN issue, this one is all on me and my addiction to scrolling through my PS1 library to randomly find games.

What I need to find now is an XML editor that will work with the webMAN created .XML files so I can edit out the entries for files from one one PS3's internal HD that are not on the other.
It seems that these are not "standard" format (or at least that's what excel and xmlcopyeditor are spitting out at me)

My take on this is webMAN has no issues reading/displaying the larger libraries, but it doesn't like creating them.
No worries, I'll come up with something that will work

kozarovv · Dec 19, 2015

Yeah is not standard bug report, but anyway is important info that your PSX library is huge

I try to compile webman mod for you, but i'm not sure this will help. Look here later i post it.

Try now on MAX+ setting. Link: webftp_server

But please test this only on slim, i can't test it by myself now so better not use in nand based PS3

u could try notepad++ if u don't already have it. from my experience, it's the best app to modify xml files on the ps3.

I looked very quickly myself to compile a modified build for [MENTION=211]Datalogger[/MENTION] to test but couldn't in a few minutes make all the changes he mentioned.

For the values to modify in games-xml.h, there's no problem, just a constant to set the desired value but how did you modify netclient.h? res.dirsize doesn't seem to be checked against a constant anymore?

netclient.h being the only file using res.dirsize so I assume this is the one he mentioned...?
Unless I missed something?

I don't think is problem related to res.dirsize of netiso module in this case. People here are using 6-8TB drives and all their games are visible. I think in this specific case is just too small buffer for PSX games. In 1.43.20 and maybe others is bug (or aldo want more space for PS3 titles?) that MAX+ memory setting have 32KB only for PSX games while MAX profile have 256KB for PSX games.

To be honest my mod on max+ is even still at lower value than aldos MAX profile. FYI@datalogger because i realized this after posting my build, first try webman mod 1.43.20 with MAX setting instead of MAX+ it has 8 times more memory reserved for building PSX database.

Ps. if this still don't help then we try 512, etc. I think this will resolve that issue.

One more edit [MENTION=211]Datalogger[/MENTION] please try also my build, now i saw this on max...

Code:

		if((webman_config->cmask & PS1)) BUFFER_SIZE_PSX	= (_64KB_);

Ok. So your changes are unrelated to what Darklogger hinted. But rather a reshuffle a memory allocation for different types of games basically.

I think that hints for netiso posted there, are resolved by aldo long time ago. But please remember that two monts ago i just learned how to compile webman... So i'm not good source to comments code changes like this.

OK, so just to clear things up (i feel i make mess in this thread..). Datalogger try this file on MAX+ setting: webftp_server

Setting that i used there:

Code:

BUFFER_SIZE_ALL = ( 1280*KB);
		BUFFER_SIZE_FTP	= ( _128KB_);
		//BUFFER_SIZE	= ( 1088*KB);
		[B]BUFFER_SIZE_PSX	= (  512*KB);[/B]
		BUFFER_SIZE_PSP	= (  _8KB_);
		BUFFER_SIZE_PS2	= (  _32KB_);
		BUFFER_SIZE_DVD	= (  _32KB_);

Instead of previous:

Code:

BUFFER_SIZE_ALL = ( 1280*KB);
		BUFFER_SIZE_FTP	= ( _128KB_);
		//BUFFER_SIZE	= ( 1088*KB);
		[B]BUFFER_SIZE_PSX	= (  _32KB_);[/B]
		BUFFER_SIZE_PSP	= (  _32KB_);
		BUFFER_SIZE_PS2	= (  _64KB_);
		BUFFER_SIZE_DVD	= (  _64KB_);

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] i recenttly updated your webman mod and since i have to sync controller on each boot im on dex 4.46 and ive tried disable startup scan/disable notification ive tried reinstalling FW and ive tried going back to lower webman still persists can u assist me please thank you

I don't have that issue on my 4.46 cex. Could you try changing the startup delays in /setup.ps3? Maybe increasing the delays could help. Also try using the default settings.

If this don't help you probably need to delete or fix (i don't know how to fix that) you xregistry.sys but doing this will remove your user account and a lot of settings, licences, etc. I did this on habib 4.55 cobra (cech-210X) and it help.

Before try your option, it would be better to try a database rebuild... it has fixed me several weird issues.
