The perfect companion for your
Xtreamer Media Player
FAQ
Q. Will the eTRAYz be compatible with future models of Xtreamer media players ?
A. Yes.
How much the estimated price? Will its features work with other NMTs/media players (not necessarily as seamlessly as with the xtreamer)?
I've just indicated an estimated price at the bottom of the first post.
From the big boss at Xtreamer:
eTRAYz has been designed for Xtreamer media player customers only.
But he also stated:
It is a fully functional stand alone device that has similar functionalities to any Qnap or Synology (NAS).
I'll give him a buzz to get more info.
Nice GUI! May tentative date na ba pagdating dito sa Pinas?
Regarding the pix size, I think the site has a limit to the pix being displayed, just right click and "View image" should show the pix in full resolution.
the 9000 price includes the HDDs?
yng ip camera po ba wireless? or wired?
The Xtreamer homepage has changed quite a bit.
Check out new eTRAYz videos at www.xtreamer.net (http://www.xtreamer.net)
Owning an eTRAYz has many benefits that extend beyond the world of entertainment.
The neat videos show us how we can justify buying one ;D
No product information has been released yet. I expect more than one model - both wireless and wired cams.nice! Can't wait for it to be available. :)
Sir, sa onine shop po ng extreamer this will start shipping december 1 tama po ba? kailan po ba to magiging available sa atin? may package po ba ang etrayz with the media player? also would like to check kng aside from the ip cam from extreamer madedetect po ba nito mga camera connected sa network. sensya na po kng madaming tanong interested lang po talaga ako. Thanks. :D
do you think we can take advantage of the euro 59 offer (for a limited time and provided we can prove we have purchased an xtreamer already) ?
Does anybody know if how much ang HDD 2tb for this etrayz?
10,300 each in tipid pc..... WD caviar green ;D
Is the 4TB the max limit for eTrayz? Will I be able to install larger capacity drives, maybe 2.5TB and 4TB drives when they become available? If I by more than one, can I daisy chain them to act as one 4-Bay or 6-Bay NAS?
Bitstream,
what is the latest status on bringing this in? i initially am not interested, but if it goes to the range of 8K or lower... hmmm...tempting! :)
please count me in... :)

Hi! Sir, maybe you could provide a bundled price for the etrayz and xtreamer media player for those who has not availed of any of the two yet. Since there are already promotions for the xtreamer and etrayz respectively.
Please check the impressions on the etrayz at the xtreamer forum. It seems there are mixed emotions regarding the product. Hopefully, could be better...
Ano po kaya format ng internal HD nito?
any review from our fellow member? ease of assembly/connection and use? very interested, tia
A review hmmm....Impression.... ;D
Let me just share my experience.
I had my etrayz before xmass since dec. I ordered it via extreamer website and they had it shipped here. My landed cost wa arount 9k plus. Im using a 2tb caviar greenWD hard drive. Have i known there would be a problem with its LCC count i would have not purchased it, (Got it thru amazon had it shpped here). I'm in the process of controlling the LCC count as of know. Anways.....
This is my first NAS so i did not know what to expect. I'm not good with computers. I just like new gadgets to play with hehehe...
1. First i installed both hd's to the slot. So that I could set up the disks. it only read slot b at the start. I just played around with it interchanging slots until it read both slots. Then proceeded to set up.
2. i had trouble with setting up my email to work. And for me to access it thru the internet.
I had to call my brother-in law to help me out with the settings. Router and NAS port configuration etc.....(all of this are alien to me...hhehehe)
3. But now its working already. I can share folders already. But there seems to be a 2gig limitation on sharing and uploading via the web browser. I thought i could share movie files over 2gig over the net but cant because of the 2gig limit.
4. i could stream movies via wired lan from router. but wireless streaming is a bit slow. it depends on your range/distance from the router and if its a 720 or 1080 movie.
5. copying files or movies to the nas is quite slow. 100 gig of movies takes me around 7hrs...i have more than 2tb i want to upload....its taking me forever.
I'm not really good at writing. So if you want to know more just ask. And ill try to answer your question.
At the moment cant say i'm Happy or disappointed.
As i said i did not know what to expect. :)
Cheers,
Francis
Did you used a fresh blank HDD(not yet formatted HDD)? Did the etrayz formatted your HDD to xfs file system?
@francis
Have you tried dowloading movie via torrent of the unit? ;D ;D
Yes i tried downloading a 1.7gig file via isohunt with etryaz it took me 3days

i already configured my etrayz on the network. i can see it with windows 7 under network. i can see it under itunes (mac) under places. but i can't seem to see it under xtreamer and mac, any idea guys? the etrayz is connected via wired router/AP. i have a repeater upstairs (wap54) which my xtreamer is connected. the mac is connected via repeater. the xtreamer can access the net/internet radio but the etrayz is still greyed. any idea?
got mine today, but i'll probably be able to do some testing over the weekend ... just like to ask if i'll be able to do some network configuration without the hard disk installed? (i have yet to source out my hard disk)
TIA
To connect using Mac (OS X Tiger):
1. Open Finder 'Go' > 'Connect to Server"
2. Enter server address (e.g. smb://etrayz.ip.address/public)
For Windows and Mac users alike, here are the share names:
e-TRAYz Disk via \\etrayz.ip.address\sysadmin .. sysadmin's password will be requested
Private Disk(s) via \\etrayz.ip.address\[username] .. username's password will be requested
Public Disk via \\etrayz.ip.address\Public
External Disk1 via \\etrayz.ip.address\External Disk\USB1\part1
External Disk2 via \\etrayz.ip.address\External Disk\USB2\part1
was able to install firmware 1.0.4 successfully on my 1TB WD Green...
Currently trying to figure out how rapidbox works via internet, I'll give more feedback soon
when we update the firmware, our data gets deleted?
when we update the firmware, our data gets deleted?
I think there are two options provided by xtreamer, 1 is an upgrade option(supposedly will not delete existing data) and the other is the full installation(zip file).
What I did was the full installation since I dont have any data yet on the drive.
brader, so our etrayz is on the 1.0.3 fw already?I was not able to check brader, hindi ko maaccess yung etrayz ko out of the box eh. So I immediately ran the setup of firmware 1.0.4. As per rgbautista above its still 1.0.1 out of the box.
brader, so our etrayz is on the 1.0.3 fw already?
Guys, be very careful. There is a misconception that "Xtreamer Admin" cleared up for me just yesterday. I too was confused and needed a few emails to get straightened out.
The firmware shipped with our batch of Xtreamers is the LATEST VERSION. What we are downloading are software packages containing utilities, etc.
So Ver. 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 downloads are software packages and bug fixes, etc. There may be a component somewhere in there that actually upgrades the firmware... but as-shipped, our e-TRAYz already have the latest firmware. Xtreamer Admin called the factory to double-check and make sure we got the latest... and he confirms that we did.
Hope that's clear!
So does that mean that the software packages (ver 1.0.3 and ver 1.0.4) contain both the software and firmware update? Also, how can we differentiate the firmware version with the software package version?
In etrayz web gui, I can see the ff: Firmware Version Ver.1.0.4-official
^ I see, based from that email, it really is hard to fully grasp the meaning.
I will try to install the rtorrent front end tonight. Based from the xtreamer forum, it is similar to utorrent UI.
Since rTorrent has a similar interface/UI with utorrent, its better for me :) Haven't tried transmission yet though. I have successfully added rtorrent in my etrayz and its way better than the built in e-torrent UI ;)
download speeds: Ony my PC I average 165kbps, using rtorrent(see pix) I also average the same.

set up my etrayz, works ok. but i can't get the wifi antenna to work with it. any thoughts?
with the etrayz connected to the router, i connected the usb wifi antenna, go to settings, and click on wireless, it sees the usb antenna, but when i encode the security and stuff, then press apply, the page loads but when its done, and i try to connect to the main page again, it just loads without the page coming out.
i have to power off the etrayz, disconnect the wifi antenna, using the ethernet, i am able to connect to the etrayz again. :(
The eTRAYz is connected to the router by cable, and the wi-fi antenna at the same time?
yes, eric. because if i did not connect it through ethernet, and i turn on the etrayz, i can go into the etrayz web. or is there a way. thanks.
what i want to do is the etrayz is connected to the network through wifi, but my xtreamer is connected to the etrayz via ethernet for media, so that streaming will be more stable. at the same time with this set up, i can have both etrayz and xtreamer on my av rack.

I tried setting up the etrayz earlier. I connected the etrayz to my router via LAN and when I ran the CD to install it, my PC cannot detect the etrayz. I then tried connecting the PC directly to the etrayz via LAN cable and luckily it was detected. So I tried setting it up but my problem is when there is a need to access the net such as the email client, I dunno how to go about this coz the present setup doesnt have internet access.I tried reconnecting the etrayz to my router again but again it cannot be detected. Any help? TIA
i can access my etrayz already through the web. will now try to set up the xtreamer and see if streaming will work between the two.
i use dmz since it was the simpler than port forwarding. but i cant set up the email thing. once i put all my gmail account info, then send test mail. it always fails. any thoughts? tia!
I can't understand how to setup rtorrent. Please help.
something wierd happened. i turned off my modem, router and the etrayz, and when i turn them on. i cant connect to my etrayz! i was about to reformat the whole thing when even the set up cant detect my etrayz. i was about to panic when i notice the ip address that the set-up detected was not the same as the ip address originally assigned to the etrayz. i entered the new ip address into the browser and oila. i go connected. can someone explain to me what happened here? does it mean i cant shut down my router and modem or else it will keep assigning the etrayz with new ip address?
hope someone can explain this to me so it wont happen again. :P
but at the same time, i was able to connect to the etrayz with the e-connector. pretty cool. and i have already set-up my xtreamer too. and it saw the etrayz right away. pretty neat. played a couple of short movie scenes, and the xtreamer streamed the scenes without stutters. all my movies are in 720p and my router is a 11g router. hope all movies will stream like i have encountered, then i think i have found my perfect combo!
Hi Guys,
Perhaps it's with my setup but I noticed that I when I watch HD movies, I always have momentary stops during playback when I select eTrayz as my source. But when I use the NET source, I just login my ID in eTrayz and the playback is smooth.
I'm wonder if I should change my router to Gigabit N. Right now I"m using a Router G with 100Mbps connection.
Any of you guys encountered this?

Have you tried downloading from private trackers? Thanks
yups, both files on queue were from private trackers. Total speed for both is at par with my HTPC's own DL speed.
Namamaximize ba niya ung speed ng ISP mo? Thinking of getting the xtreamer pro. Thanks
yup, the ISP speed is maximized. Although, meron pa ring prob sa pagdownload ng torrents. Yung unang torrent ay 4GB na file, nung natapos madownload corrupted yung file(hindi playable). Yung pangalawa naman divided into multiple rar files. After matapos yung download, pagka unrar ko ok naman, nagplay sa htpc ko.
Software packages (e.g. Ver 1.0.3 and Ver 1.0.4) are available as
full-install packages (zip files) or as patch files (.bin).
A full-install package WILL WIPE OUT YOUR HARD DRIVE, so be
sure to back-up first if you want to perform a "clean install".
A patch file will upgrade your software package (and firmware,
if necessary) without erasing the content of your hard drives.
after downloading the v1.0.4, I tried to reinstall it again but It cant be detected over the network. kaya hindi ko tuloy ma install.
It said sa manual that I can conenct it directly to the computer. Im not sure how. 've tried to connect it directly via USB. pero nothing happens. Parang wala lang.
[author=DYC link=topic=104057.msg1152103#msg1152103 date=1267578614]
I got a v1.0.0 stable. Bummer. :-[
Not a bummer, DYC - that is the latest firmware version.
Ah ok
my problem is when installing the cd the computer was able to detect the etryz.
It's great that the e-TRAYz was detected. Why is it a problem?
after downloading the v1.0.4, I tried to reinstall it again but It cant be detected over the network. kaya hindi ko tuloy ma install.
What did you download - the "full install" or the patch file to upgrade? If you downloaded the 1.0.4 patch, there was a warning that said you should have v1.0.3 software installed on e-TRAYz before upgrading. Am I correct in assuming that you didn't have v1.0.3 software installed first?
I download the full installation.
It said sa manual that I can conenct it directly to the computer. Im not sure how. 've tried to connect it directly via USB. pero nothing happens. Parang wala lang.
I haven't tried this - but did the manual say connect by USB or by Ethernet? But don't bother trying. It won't work if the e-TRAYz OS has been mangled.
Maybe someone can help me cause im not a techie guy. akala ko kasi simple lang itong etrayz plug and play lang parang external HD lang. medyo mahirap pala gamitin. please help para magamit ko na. :)
Setting up a NAS isn't a walk in the park. Need to be patient, read the manual, pay attention to instructions and warnings while installing and browse the forums for additional insights on how best to proceed.
ok, will keep on trying. :)
If you corrupted your e-TRAYz operating system due to a wrong update procedure, it can't be detected on the network. Remove the drive in Bay A, format it using your PC (NTFS is ok) just to wipe out whatever is on it. Re-install it in the e-TRAYz. Start installing from the CD again, as if you have a fresh HDD... it should be detected by the Installer now. Why don't you do a "clean install" by downloading the full ver 1.0.4 software package?
Hope this helps
probable reason for not being able to detect is that it is by default set to dhcp, the ip address may have changed after the reset - you need to try other address
regarding direct PC connection, you need to connect it via LAN port, but you will be needing a cross-cable, not the cable that came with it
Yun lang mahirap na corrupt but i think the 1 movie is originally pack with winrar like the 1 movie i have DL is pack with winrar. Ca you update me again if you encoutered such corrupt file when you finish downloading. I'm checking for the capabilities of etrayz to decide if i will get a torrent rig that will cost more than etrayz.
Gaano kalakas sa kuryente ang etrayz?
got the etrayz and xtreamer this morning Eric. Thanks for the great service! :)

hi guys, i having trouble moving specific files into folders. moving whole folders into main folders on the root directory presents no problem. but once i start to move specific files or folders to sub folders, it wont allow it. from the e-connector it says i cant do it, on etrayz web, using the move function, i cant choose the sub folder i want the file or folder to be moved to.
any help / thoughts. :D

EDIT:
got a work around on this, but i have to move the said subfolders to the root directory before i can move the said files and folder into it.
which is a hassle. i hope i am doing something wrong or else, they should add this feature, or maybe drag and drop...
Again using e-TRAYz Web, I was able to move files and folders nested within folders (2 levels deep) without problem. No need for me to move folders to the "root directory" (I assume you mean the highest-level of e-TRAYz Disk).

what username are you logged in to Etrayz brader? sysadmin or root or personal username?
edit:
I encountered the same problem awhile back. It seems I don't have write permissions to specific folders. Try the ff:
1) log in as sysadmin (via ssh or putty)
2) chmod -R 777 <folder name you want to have write permission>
wget -P /tmp http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4598877/installer/installer_v1.0_base.zip && sudo -u sysadmin unzip /tmp/installer_v1.0_base.zip -d /home/sysadmin/WWW/installer && rm /tmp/installer_v1.0_base.zip
i am logged in as sysadmin. so i have to do linux via putty? hehe, am so afraid of this. if ever i install putty, i just type "chmod -R 777 + (folder name)"? and that's it?
and i can actually write but only for folders on the root directory, if its inside folders i cant move it. so the above will solve my problem?
tia brader!
hmmm.... now i am puzzled. :-[
do i have to set something for this to happen? since i can move it only on the highest level of etrayz disk.
sir bitstream, pasakay na rin ako sa copy/move topic na 'to. i plugged in an external usb sa 2.0 port ng Etrayz, and want to copy specific files. accessing it thru the webgui and move/copy files from external usb drive to Etrayz is not possible, i see "no right" in the action option. any other possible way to copy files to Etrayz? would the copy function button at the back of the Etrayz work for individual files?
thanks in advance
see my previous post regarding putty use and installation :) I think your subfolders do not have write access.
YM mo ako ngayon brader online ako ;)
I didn't have to run Putty, chmod or run other applications, etc. Works perfectly for me just as it should. What software package version is on your e-TRAYz? I'm on 1.0.4.
You might try shutting down the e-TRAYz, then restarting it?
Gaano kalakas sa kuryente ang etrayz?
3. The third step that I did was to go to ramdisk mode (according to xtreamer forum), by simultaneously hitting the reset and on button.
Finally, both the eTrayz and HDD was detected and I was able to successfully finish my installation.
Hope this help others. :D
In general, it seems that e-TRAYz owners have been pretty quiet.
I hope it means that you're all getting along ok!
ser eric, baka po napupuyat sa kaka butingting :)
ako po napupuyat sa kaka-abang ng info :D
Hi,
Question. Has JBOD been implemented already with the newest firmware or RAID-0 is still the simplest method of using the two bays? Thanks.
JBOD is not yet available in the current firmware. The simplest method is to set up the two hard drives as distinct and separate devices.
First, you install the first drive as "Linear". Then you install the second drive as "External". (Don't be confused - "External" doesn't mean 'outside of the e-TRAYz enclosure'; it means 'external to RAID').
You can read about this in the e-TRAYz section of the Xtreamer Official Forum.

guys for gmail outgoing server should be smtp.gmail.com:587 since gmail uses port 587 and not the standard ports.
works like a charm to me.
HTH! =)
I guess what I'm looking for is, if I can swap hard disks without losing any data. For example, I have 4 hard disks, and each has only 1TB. Can I shutdown, remove a HD, and plug in the other HD, and simply power-up the device without any further setup, and of course, without losing any data during the transition? :)
Kinda discouraged with this NAS since I can't seem to download from other torrent sites other than Mininova and another one. Anybody who knows how to mod this so files can be downloaded a la utorrent downloader?
First, download the torrent file to your pc. Then using the included e-torrent software in Etrayz, Go to the e-torrent -> Download tab. Then click on "register file" button to upload your torrent file previously stored in the pc.
your welcome doc, do give feedback if you are getting stable downloads in the private trackers coz it was intermitent on my part. Thats why I tried the transmission torrent client. So far, this works for me :)
i have been using the etorrent for some weeks now and just recently i noticed that it stops downloading because i dont see the internet status led blinking so i check on the gui and go to etorrent->downloads and it begins hashing again ???
i leave this on almost 24/7 para matapos yung mga dl ko, pero bakit tumitigil? >:(
at ayaw automatic mag connect, sayang lang yung mga time na iniwan ko syang naka-on :(
-------------------------------------------------------------
eto po yung error nya pag iniwan kong naka monitor sa etorrent
got it.. thanks a lot.. will give feedback.. im downloading an 8gb file right now..Oks, baka kasi kaya factor ung ISP ko kaya nagiging unstable yung downloads ko using e-torrent.
Another question sa mga masters dito: ;D ;DYou can use the application from etrayz doc. Use the etrayz connector application and it will map a drive in your "my computer". From there copy paste na lnag yung files to and from the etrayz
How do I transfer files from the eTrayz to a harddisc on my PC?

Tried this but the Etrayz HDD still does not appear in "My Computer". I get this error message: The network path was not found.
if you know the IP address of your etrayz you can type this directly in the address bar of "My Computer" prefixed by "\\"(something like \\192.168.0.107) . From there you should be able to see some folders shared by etrayz.
^thats odd.. but you can connect to the web GUI of etrayz right? Kindly also check that you have enabled CIFS in Etrayz under Settings->Service->CIFS and that your PC and Etrayz are under the same workgroup.
1. PC file sharing works excellently - i have all my PC's on wireless-N, and the TVIX and eTrayz are wired (Cat6) on Gigabit Ethernet to my Linksys router
2. Video streaming to my TVIX works flawlessly like having an internal disk - Gigabit Ethernet works
what username are you logged in to Etrayz brader? sysadmin or root or personal username?
edit:
I encountered the same problem awhile back. It seems I don't have write permissions to specific folders. Try the ff:
1) log in as sysadmin (via ssh or putty)
2) chmod -R 777 <folder name you want to have write permission>
Got it boss!!! Thanks a lot. The problem was both PC and Etrayz have different workgroups.. ;D ;Dayus! tuloy ang downloads ;D
this one worked for me. thanks brader andrew for the walk through. ;Dno problem.
no problem.
how fast is the transfer of files from xtreamer to the pc HD? is this limited by the switch speed? can we use the usb (copy) to transfer faster?
Could you try logging to etrayz using your wife's account and using your S10. Baka sa sharing ang problem. You might try to check under Settings-> Service and check either NFS or Apple talk(Hindi ko sure alin dito ang ginagamit ng MAC eh) baka kelangan mo lang i-enable. (Hindi ako MAC user, kaya hula lang ;D )
brader andrew or sir eric,
i use my wife's macbook, and from its finder, under shared, the etrayz is immediately recognized, once i connect to it as sysadmin, everything works out ok. when she connects using the log in name and password i made for her as a user, she was also able to enter, problem is she cant access the folder made for her. although its being shown on screen, once she clicks it, it says directory does not exist.
any thoughts? thanks.
would a gigabit help make it faster?
I hope so ;D havent had the chance to test it yet, but it is way too slow if your transferring files by the Gb and using only 100mbit
the usb copy is faster?
would a gigabit help make it faster?
the usb copy is faster?
Sir Raptor can you help with how to link my TVIX with the etrayz? I saw this one in the forum but I don't know where and how I can do this:
Sir I don't know what a putty is..Is this similar to DOS? How do you logon to the root?
By the way, I tried wired videostreaming of M2TS 40gb file and 1080p mkv files from my den to bedroom. I tried this with the Xtreamer and mede8er and both showed stuttering of the large M2TS files using NET but with the xtreamer using ETRAYZ NO PROBLEM whatsoever. Just don't know why this happened with NET but all in all I'm VERY HAPPY with the streaming using the XTREAMER ETRAYZ network. Thanks to Sir Eric for the inputs. IMO, this machine has already answered my problems with regards to videostreaming for my bedroom.
I also tried its downloading feature using etorrent, I can't find the download speed feature but I think it's fast.
Anybody here using PCH A110 as NMT and getting data from eTrayz wirelessly? What is the best wireless USB dongle ba for PCH A110? Medyo malayo kasi ang NMT from the router for a wired setup kaya option ko is wireless na lang.. :( :(
I'm using a 100Mbit router and it is very slow for me(need to upgrade to a Gigabit router ;D ). I also used the USB copy and for me its faster via network copy.
Now, this is weird. Are you using any wireless connection from your PC to eTrayz? Network copy should always be faster than via USB, unless your using wireless connection.Nope, no other connections to the router except my HTPC and the etrayz. Do note that 100mbit pa rin ang router ko, I think USB goes around 480Mbps.
Regarding: Unrar-ing files on Etrayz...This might be folder permissions doc, you might not have write permissions on that folder. Also note that its really slow to un-rar those 4GB files. It usually takes 25-30 minutes for me to unrar everything. I am still in the process of finding a unrar utility thats built in to the etrayz/linux.
Why is it I get error messages (access is denied) when unrar-ing files I downloaded on my etrayz. When I transfer that file on my PC, and unrar, there is no problem.. >:( >:(
Has anybody tried to connect an IP camera to Etrayz? Is it easy to configure?
i want to know this myself. what ever happened to the xtreamer guys launching their own ip camera?
Long term wise (3-5 years), do you think 2 bays is enough?
with all media today being turned into digital files, i doubt 4tb will last 3-5 years. i have two 1.5 tb installed. barely 1 month use and i already consumed 1 tb. unless you are the erasing type of guy.

with all media today being turned into digital files, i doubt 4tb will last 3-5 years. i have two 1.5 tb installed. barely 1 month use and i already consumed 1 tb. unless you are the erasing type of guy.
:)
sorry for my ignorance but pwede kaya third party app gamitin for the ip camera?
tempted nga sa synology 210j kaya lang medyo mahal dito at 17.8T, sa u.s. amazon around 11T lang. ganda nga mga software na kasama...
It's about time that we do an e-TRAYz promotion.
Keep an eye out for it!
May promo ka pa ba sa HDD 1.5TB.. ;D ;D ;D
I believe third-party apps should work.One camera lang ata. One has to buy another license for up to 4 cameras.
How many cameras are supported by the basic software license of the Synology 210J?
One camera lang ata. One has to buy another license for up to 4 cameras.
Looking forward on your upcoming etrayz promo.
Has anyone tried other media players other than Xtreamer and TVIX 6500 that does not stutter when connected to the etrayz via LAN(using NETSHARES or NET)? I tried na kasi mede8er pero it stuttered when I used NETSHARES. Kasi I'm thinking of adding another player that is compatible with the Etrayz. Kung wala, I'll just buy another xtreamer.
To Etrayz gurus,
What is the correct way to add a new hard disk(blank) into HDD B in linear mode that does not remove the contents of HDD A? I've read in the manual on page 30 that changing the raid mode from linear to raid 1 to linear will delete all files overall. Can I use ADD a new Hard Disk(using as external disk) for HDD B (page 31 of manual) to preserve the contents of HDD A? Hope to hear from any of you guys.

In my case Sir Natosan I was able to use my installation key twice. Did you try doing the boot initialization sir?
ask ko lang kung pwedeng mapalitan ang workgoup ng etrayz?
hi john. na install mo na 2nd hdd mo? I bought another WD 1.5tb at amazon for only 4k.. sale yesterday.. including shipping lalabas 4.5k lang.. ;D ;D ;D

my eTrayz had been with me for quite some time, and been using it for storage and LAN video streaming on my TVIX player ... but i haven't really had a chance to work on it, till yesterday ... i just can't seem to get the Internet accessibility working - cannot access the eTrayz using the DDNS
not sure if the ports are blocked by my ISP, i'm using PLDT DSL ... have anyone of you guys have it working? please share your setup ... i've tried port forwarding and DMZ but nothing seems to work ...torrent download and magauploads are working normally however
TIA
hi sir raptor, mine works. i used dmz, and just use the etrayz set-up wizard to configure the nas and the router to the specified ip address and the ddns http://xxxx.myetrayz.net:8080 and it works. can access my etrayz through my office internet and even through my weroam.
sir, what is your ISP at home?
Hi raptor. PLDT DSL user here too. the internet accessibility is working naman. naka static ba IP add ng etrayz mo?
hmm.. 1st step is enabling the dmz and setting DMZ Host IP Address to 10.10.10.103. then you should get your external ip address. http://www.whatismyip.com/. and that's it. ex. http://119.96.190.40:8080.
I didn't change the settings in my pldt's modem settings. on my router, I just enabled the dmz and the port forwarding and that's it.
also the gateway of your etrayz should be 10.10.10.1
check also the dns server in the etrayz when you set it to static ip. dapat meron. that's the one thing I forgot to put in kaya nagkaprob ako sa outside connection.
Glad to help out. I hope you resolve the problem. update us nalang. :)
no luck in having my eTrayz accessible over the Internet even after the reset ... regarding the DNS, i noted that when i try to set the DNS to the external DNS of my ISP, i could no longer set the internal gateway ... i'll try to post the diagram and configuration of my setup later ... all functions are working however, including external mail, torrent and edownloader >:(
sir, did you use port forwarding or dmz. initially i used port forwarding first and cant get it to work. i eventually used dmz and it work. i also just used the set up wizard to set the whole thing up and it works.
when the etrayz says its dns is 192.168.1.100:8080, i just set the dmz on my router as 192.168.1.100 then set the ddns on the setup wizard to http: your_name.myetrayz.net, when the wizard accepts this. i tried using my we roam to connect and it good. i dont have to set the external dns of my isp.
Hi raptor,
ok naman ang settings. if it can access the internet then there's no problem in the dns. inaaccess mo ba through the internet using the same computer? if yes, baka sa settings ng windows lang prob. if you can provide me your ddns or external ip, pag naka on yung etrayz mo, pwede ko itry, if you like. :)
Just sharing my Etrayz encounters... I tried to place a usb connected HDD to Etrayz. It seemed to make the etrayz webpage crawl because when I removed the disk it returned to its normal pace. I also tried playing mkvs from the external disk via NETSHARES. For the 720ps no stuttering happened but when it comes to 1080p major stuttering occured.
i'm online now ... my current IP is 122.53.171.43 ... DDNS name is ben10.myetrayz.net ... i'll be online sir up to past midnight
i'm accessing it using another PC connected to another ISP (Globe Tattoo) and on my BlackBerry device which is subscribed to Smart, but no luck ... if I try to access it inside my network, I'm reaching the admin menu of the PLDT DSL modem
i really can't find anything wrong with the setup
I'm not familiar with PLDT's broadband setup, however, based on your description that you are able to reach the admin menu of PLDT's dsl modem instead of your xtreamer, then this means that the dsl modem is acting as a nat/router as well, and is probably using port 8080 for its web admin. You might need to do port forwarding on the dsl modem as well.
What type of DSL connection do you have (DHCP, PPPoE, PPPoA, etc)? Is your DSL username and password saved on your router? What is the make and model of your modem?
sir, i'm reaching the PLDT DSL modem console when i only type the url without the port 8080 ":8080" ... i'm only getting an error page when i include the port
Your modem doesn't allow ethernet bridge mode.
What you want is a modem that just sends "bridges" the real IP address PLDT provides to your wifi router.
It's your Wifi router that should handle authentication, DHCP, DynDNS and port forwarding.
I have 3 extra PLDT myDSL modems here sa office ko (that support bridge mode), I can give you one free of charge just to help you out. Basta here's what you need to know;
VPI/VCI: 0/100 for myDSL
You need to retrieve your circuit number because that's your myDSL username. It should be on your PLDT bill what your circuit number is for your DSL line. Your password then is {circuitnumber}@pldt.
There is a way to hack into the dareglobal... you have to telnet into it but if you don't know linux, medyo nosebleed and I can't instruct you how to do it easily.

You can try these instructions;
http://dataone.kimom.com/setting-up-port-forwarding-on-the-dareglobal-db108-adsl-router.html
This addresses how to get port forwarding done. Still cumbersome IMHO compared to just setting up the DSL model to act in bridge mode but at least you can be up and running.

Hello,
Newbie here. Just ordered xtreamer pro together with eTrayz yesterday.
After reading on this thread, i didn't realize it would take a bit of trouble setting it up.
Hope i wouldn't get any when i get my hands on mine.
It's good there are people here who could help.
Till my unit comes... ;-)
Sir, thanks a lot for this link ... i finally got the Internet accessibility of my eTrayz working ... setup was quite straightforward and easy if you can telnet on the DSL modem/router - can setup port forwarding and/or dmz once i got access.
big big thanks guys :)
sir, where did you order Xtreamer Pro?
sir, where did you order Xtreamer Pro?
just finished installing the new 1.05 etrayz software. hopefully it resolves some of the problems encountered.
how is it? is it stable sir?
Sir Daigoro are you using the Network shares folder in the menu of your Xtreamer? Coz I experience stuttering when I use the network shares, but when I use the ETRAYZ folder from the menu, no stuttering occurs.
i am having issues with wifi plugged at xtreamer v2.2, a WDS window appears and wants me to confirm even if i didnt enable WDS. tried a diff wifi usb and no problem. will upgrade to v2.3.1 and see if it disappears.
just finished installing the new 1.05 etrayz software. hopefully it resolves some of the problems encountered.
Im evaluating whether I should get one.
Are there other options with the same price range ?
The others seems to be way too expensive.
i think for a functional nas, the etrayz is the most inexpensive. needs a little tweaking though.
puno na yung 2tb hard disk na nilagay ko sa etrayz ... i'm planning on getting another 2tb hard disk ... i'm looking at 2 options on mounting .. i can add new hard disk in linear mode (not change raid mode) - this will combine my new 2tb with my existing 2tb, thereby making it one 4tb hard disk <-- is my understanding correct? ang problema pala dito ay if one disk fails, di na pwede ma-access ang etrayz according sa manual ....
the reason why i want to combine is so that i can access all of my movies in one folder only ... kase if i add the new hard disk and make it as a separate drive (adding new hard disk as external disk), then the movies that i would add sa new disk will be in a different folder from my existing disk ... <-- tama ba?
gusto ko kase when i access my movies folder on my xtreamer, andun na lahat ng movies ... no need to go to another directory or folder for the other movies ...
anybody installed 2 hard disks on their etrayz? anong mounting ginawa niyo? can you access all of the movies in one folder only? o do you need to switch from hard disk a or b?
i hope you can follow, pati kase ako naguguluhan sa sinulat ko hehe ...
@sir daigoro, what if yung hdd na ilalagay ay from a pc, formatted with ntfs and some files, will the etrayz still format the hdd to ext* para ma recognize nya at makapag-r/w sya?
mga sir..i need help on how to enable the copy of files to an external HD which i attached to the usb of the etrayz..actually i can see the extrayz and the attached ext hd in my network and even play the video files found in the ext hd..but my problem is i cant seem to be able to copy some video files from my computer hd to the ext hd attached to my etrayz...it has something to do with "permissions"...please help mga etrayz gurus and merry xmas to all!
Can i use the etrayz with the Egreat?
nbc
Same concern here...
I read some bad reviews, but this was circa late 2009 to early 2010.
Some okay reviews after that.
Current etrayz users... please chime in on how your unit is working now... :)

How fast (mbyte/sec) does the file move or copy between Etrayz and PC? I was hoping the firmware updates improved it...
Running 24/7 pa rin etrayz ko, so far no problems encountered yet.
thats my problem also, I am only getting around 3-4MB/s transfer rate. It takes hours to transfer large files...
Running 24/7 pa rin etrayz ko, so far no problems encountered yet.bro kaya ba as NAS to HTPC, mga 1080p movies streaming?
thats my problem also, I am only getting around 3-4MB/s transfer rate. It takes hours to transfer large files...
wow really that slow ? sayang dapat nilagyan nila ng usb slave port to para pwede direct connect sa pc pag transfer na. Medyo show stopper sa akin yung 3-4mb/s since puro remux and bd iso ang mga download ko dito then move ko sa ibang raid server
bro kaya ba as NAS to HTPC, mga 1080p movies streaming?
Kaya naman bro, may konting delay lang sa umpisa....parang " buffering" mode.
Tried it with 720p content accessed with an htpc and an xtreamer... Nagplay naman without any probs. Pero 1 movie lang, baka yung hdd ang bumigay dahil sa pagtalon talon between movies :d2 different movies?
dati i tried playing 2 movies form my Etrayz, one from xtreamer the other on my laptop, kinaya. 1080p(wired) and 720p(wifi-laptop).hi comet thanks for sharing.
Yup, that slow ;d copying a 5gb files takes around 15minutes.
was this done thru the wired gigabit lan? o thru wireless?...was hoping na mabilis kung thru lan...thanks
Tried it with 720p content accessed with an htpc and an xtreamer... Nagplay naman without any probs. Pero 1 movie lang, baka yung hdd ang bumigay dahil sa pagtalon talon between movies :d
no problem with 720p materials, but with lags on 1080p on wireless. using a wrt610n router.
how about in copying files from nas to pc? ilang MB/s thanks
brader,Sorry for the late reply, ngayon ko lang ulit nabisita yung thread. Ano gamit mo na player on your ipad ? Hindi ko pa natry yung setup mo pero pede ko subukan over the weekend. For movies gamit ko air video, pero dumadaan pa sa htpc the to etrayz. Subukan ko setup yung vlc kung kaya nya.
may problema ako, i have upnp and dlna on my ipad 2 and galaxy tab, how come when i use it it sees my etrayz, but when i open my folders, it empty, i have already set the etrayz folder to share but still no contents are showing, would love to be able to play music and simple avi videos on the ipad and tab would be cool.
any thoughts?
thanks.
hi comet thanks for sharing.
may volunteer ba dyan na pwede mag demo ng etrayz nila?
sana turuan narin ako pano mag torrents via etrayz ;D ;D
how about in copying files from nas to pc? ilang MB/s thanksKahit wired sir mabagal, using teracopy application nasa 6 mb/s lang. Not sure kung saan ang bottleneck, baka sa etrayz mismo kasi nag upgrade na rin ako sa gigabit router minimal to no i provement. AFAiK , hindi pa gigabit ang etrayz eh
thanks bro. one of these days dalaw ako dyan sa south.
btw maraming NAS ang may bandwidth issues, ayon sa mga nabasa ko.
kaya hanggang ngayon external HDD parin tapos laptop yung host via usb lahat ang setup ko. :-\
regarding those getting speeds significantly lower than what i posted (somebody posted just getting 2MB/s) ... also try updating the driver of your NIC (wifi or wired) ... i've noticed that when i was using the default driver from Windows 7, the transfer speeds were also low, when I installed the updated drivers from the manufacturer, speed improved significantlythanks bro, i never thought using generic windows driver would hurt transfer speeds :)
i haven't tried transferring file using wired connection, but if i have time later, i'll try it with my laptop and post the screenshots here

Update:
Gigabit LAN na pala etrayz, will have to check kung gigabit lan cables gamit ko, parang nabasa ko somewhere mas maraming "connected" wires in order for gigabit to work?!.

For Gigabit LAN, the standard cable to use is Cat6, although Cat5e cables can work ... just a note that if you're using Gigabit, you should be using manufacturer fabricated RJ45 connectors, not those that are manually crimped (chances are there will be high cross-talk that would not allow Gigabit speeds) ... if you would inspect a Cat6 patch cord, the connectors have PCB's inside and wires are soldered, not just crimped
