We've had a media server on our internal network for about one and a half year. All this time it has lived at IP 192.168.1.65. It's a simple UPnP server which directly responds to requests as soon as it gets them.
Why then, dear Sony, does the Playstation 3 remove it from the list of Media servers every time I log out or when the PS3 starts up? And why does it scan the entire network, IP by IP, before showing the Media server that has always remained at the same address? And why does it take almost a full minute to scan a couple of IPs? Why Sony? Why?! AArrggghhh!
Update: According to Michiel, he doesn't have the problem with his newer generation (not the slim, but also not the original) PS3. So why haven't you updated my PS3, Sony?
Update II: We've received a PS3 upgrade! 500 Mb download and what do we get? Improved media server searching? Fuck no, we get glittery backgrounds! YAY!
