Unable to Host Share Play on Playstation 4 / PS4
I can join others on Share Play all day long, but no one can connect to me when I host Share Play. While my speeds test WAY above the minimum for this activity, my signal is never strong enough to host. Or so the errors say. I have found many others with this exact problem. And the common piece with us all is that we all have Cox for an ISP. It's fine if COX makes some change in policy or procedure and ends up blocking something that affects this functionality of my gaming system. But for me to have to call and write repeatedly for help on this and get the same responses, none of which include a solution, over and over, is unacceptable. I have done everything I possibly can to fix this issue on my end, over and over again, and it is still busted. Why not just admit you've blocked a port Sony uses for this feature instead of ****ing me around all the time? Surely the company knows of this issue. I can't be the ONLY person complaining about it. STOP resetting my router whenever I call about this. I do that before I call. I do it ALL before I call. Port forwarding, DMZ, all of it. There's a call history on your systems, no? Please read it before you treat me like I'm 5 and it's my first time calling anyone other than my Nana in Ft. Lauderdale. This weekend, I am bringing my PS4 out into the desert and hooking it up to someone's home who is not blessed with COX Internet. If Share Play works, if people are able to connect to me when I host Share Play, I'm going to expect an answer from you, COX, especially after you've just increased by bill.

HDHomerun Prime to PS3 - Data type is not supported
Hey all, Anyone else use a SiliconDust HDHomerun Prime to stream DRM'd content to multiple TVs with a Playstation 3 with DTCP-IP enabled? This has been working great for a few months, but recently an annoyance has cropped up that I am wondering if anyone else is seeing. While watching FX HD or ESPN HD, during commercial breaks - usually the 5th or 6th commercial will cause the PS3 to display the error message: "the data type is not supported". The only option I have is to click the O-Back button, where the channel image and text are replaced with "Unsupported Data". I can then click the X-Select button to re-tune the channel once the commercial break is over.. .It will then stream fine until the 5th or 6th commercial in the next commercial break. When tuning the lesser quality SD version of FX or ESPN channels at the lower number, I will get the following error message at the same point - "this content cannot be played (800288d8)". Again, this error will continue to be displayed when I hit the X-Select to re-tune the channel until the commercial break is over and regular programming has returned. This happens on three different PS3 units, all running 4.80 firmware. The HDHomerun Prime and PS3s are all configured on a 1Gbps switched network. I am receiving no Ethernet errors, disconnects or dropped packets. The HDHomerun shows the Tuner at 100% and excellent signal quality. I have had SiliconDust engineering look a the Debug Logs and they claim that they are not detecting any faults with the DLNA and DTCP-IP encapsulation of the stream. They believe that Cox must be changing the format of local commercial slots, causing the PS3 to freak out. Also note that I was able to play the exact same content in Windows Media Center without error. Is anyone else using a PS3 to view protected content delivered from a HDHR? Is anyone using HDHR's Android VIEW app to view DRM'd content; Any errors? Thanks!3.8KViews0likes7Comments
