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.

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.
Cedric

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.

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.

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

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?

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.
