IP Filter -> Filter multiple consoles/machines

[stephan]

I opened a topic for this problem in "General Support / Network / Video / Streaming Help", but there seems no solution to it. The topic can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2282

As stated in topic I am on a shared LAN. I want to restrict two consoles (PS3, Xbox 360) to PMS using the ip filter. But with the current version it seems it isnt possible to add multiple IP's. I think it isnt a very complicated addition to PMS to check multiple IP for access.

What my views are:
1. Two input boxes for IP and MAC filter
2. Seperated by spaces or comma's
(3. Time schedule for particular IP's/MAC's)

Thanks in advance

I second this request. I am currently using PMS and am 95% happy with it. I hope to obtain a second PS3 in the near future and would obviously appreciate the capabilty to use PMS on both. I agree that it shouldn't be a big deal to get the software to recognise two separate IP addresses, although the impact that this then has on the streaming capabilities of PMS may be an issue. Hopefully, it can get sorted out in the near future.

I think you misunderstand this request, what you are talking about is already possible. This request is about excluding certain clients, like if you have 3 PS3's and only want PMS to show up on 2.

Yes, I see. Sorry about that. Thanks for the headsup.

Perhaps make a MAC restriction to who can connect to the mediaserver

Voted for. As the current IP filter stands, it only allows a user to filter out (deny) everything EXCEPT a single specific IP.

A MAC filtering setup with the option to ALLOW or DENY specific devices, like in most routers would be nice.

I have upstairs roommates that keep trying to use my server, and they have no idea what they are doing. I keep telling them not to bother, but they keep trying simply because they can see my server on the network. As I have multiple devices I use in the basement, the IP filter is no good as it only permits one entry for 'allowed' IP, and denies all others. I need to be able to allow all my devices, and deny all their devices. They can setup their own server easy enough

i can get behind this.. MAC allowed/disallow table would be better than ip filtering.
