You need to input your media server’s description address to add the media server manually, then you can watch your movies when you outside your house 🙂
1. Twonky media server.
http://IP Address:9000/TMSDeviceDescription.xml
2. PS3 media server
http://IP Address:5001/description/fetch
3. Eyeconnect
http://IP Address:2170/
4. Vuze
http://IP Address:63158/RootDevice.xml
If you have added other media server successfully, tell us!
5. AirPlayer media server
http://IP Address:2072/DeviceDescription.xml

“IP Address”need to be the IP address of your PC that installed PS3. and make sure your PS3 media server is listen on the 5001 port.

Hello, I just wonder if i can add the Wild Media Server manually ?

Hi,
I have PS3 MS installed on my PC and it is working perfectly on local network. I’m then wondering on how do I need to set up AirPlayer to have access to my media away from my home.
Which IP address should I use to add media server manually http://IP Address:5001/description/fetch?
I tested the connection (made tests from home, I guess it is possible to test even if not away?) with two IP addresses
I tried using my computer’s IP (173.176…, I understand this is my “real” IP) and it is not working, showing “UnKnowed Media Server”.
I also tried using PS3 MS IP Address (something like 192.168…) and it is working but I’m wondering if this will really work away from home as I understand from some readings that this IP address is more one of local network.
Your help will be much appreciated.

when you outside the house, you need to input the public ip, your case is(173..), you can simply test it by input “http://IP Address:5001/description/fetch” in your safari to see whether you can get a xml file, then you can add it manually.
January 14, 2011 at 2:47 pm
I posted on a similar topic last. My trouble is like cedric’s in that I can not find the description file for my device (MBWE2 running TMS 5.1) I verified this by your suggestion. Navigating to 70.75…:9000/TMSDeviceDescription.xml brings up a 404 page. Is there another possible location or name for the file? Is there a workaround?
I was under the impression that users had gotten the MBWE2 working with airplayer from remote locations.
January 17, 2011 at 2:18 am
sorry, we haven’t got this type device. next release, when you find your device in your local network, we will show the local address of the description file, then you can know the public address of the file.

Hello,
I have a belkin home base
Can i use it with your airplayer ?
Thanks
September 28, 2011 at 9:23 am |
If it supports UPnP/DLNA, I think you can have a try.

Hello,
I’m trying to set up the airplayer externally to connect with PS3 media server, where can I got for a complete ‘how to’ because I really have not much of an idea??
Thanks
October 21, 2011 at 3:55 am |
when the server detected in your local network, click detail blue button, it has detail steps.
October 21, 2011 at 5:02 am |
Thanks for the reply but I’m still a little lost, if I want to connect my iPad externally to a ps3 media server using the airplayer app on my iPad am I manually setting it up on my iPad and what details am I changing or manually inputting? Is this what I’m using “http://192.168.1.3:5001/description/fetch”, do I replace the “description” part of this address?
Thanks
October 24, 2011 at 6:04 am |
You need to replace the ip of your media server’s public ip, if your are in your home network, maybe you need to do a port mapping. public ip:5001 you media server local ip:5001

Hi
I’m not sure if this a question for here, or for Western digital.
I have a setup of a WD My book world editon 2 connected to a linksys e300 router, and i have set up my router to match external port 9000 with the internal port of my WD.
I have opened up Airplayer over wifi, and copied the address in the field, and then manually made a new device with the same address but with the external ip of my router.
And then i can open it in safari on my iphone, and see an xml file.
When i open airplayer remotely, i can now access all my files on my home WD drive.
What i am curious about now is, can i fill out the fields with username and password, so that my WD isnt shared publically with the rest of the world?
November 16, 2011 at 4:08 am |
UPNP is mainly designed for the local network, but some server provide external access with a username/password, if your nas not support username/password, suggest you not to manually add it.

I have an IOMEGA NAS which is DLNA compliant and inside the LAN it works fine. I have port forwarded 9000 to its LAN address but what do I put in the devicedescription.xml file and how is it created and where do I file it?
April 5, 2012 at 4:34 am |
You needn’t put the description file. just click the add button in the devices tab, and paste the url of the description file, don’t forget the replace the ip of the url to the public url of your route.
May 23, 2012 at 11:06 pm |
Hello I’m all new to this and I have a iPad and iPhone that I want to be able to access my nas drive which is a my book world which has a twonky media server on it….
I have the airplayer app on both but I want to be able to access my nas from these if I’m at my mothers house via wifi or if I’m at some one else’s house?
I have a virgin media super hub and know how to access the settings page but as far as that goes I’m a bit stumped ?
Can some one help and give me an idiots guide ? Step by step as to what to do? how and when ? Just to get this remote feature of AirPlayer to work ?
Any help is appreciated

Hello – I am using Serviio as my Media Server on my WHS 2011 box. I am using Air Player on my Ipad. I can get it to work internally (my home), but cannot get it to work outside of my home
I also have a dynamic dns address – dacaseys.no-ip.org that maps to an internal ip address of 192.168.1.50
I have tried using this = http://IP Address:8895/deviceDescription/edf579b3-7c26-3ff0-986e-cc1a406c97df substituting the dacaseys.no-ip.org or the ip by itself.
1) Is that the right address?
2) what is device description?
Please help!

I almost never write remarks, but after reading some of the responses here How
to add media server manually? (AirPlayer) | jonathan young’s Blog. I do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind. Is it simply me or do a few of these comments look like they are written by brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are writing on other places, I’d like to follow you.
Would you list of all of all your public pages like

Hi just bought your AirPlayer app with the intention of using it as a Media Server to stream music from my iPhone 4s to PS3. Unfortunately, the app does not recognize the iPhone as a local Media Server. Is there a way I can configure this?
