PS3 Media Server + Eset Smart Security

[buycki]

Hello,

Have been reading lots of people have problems with ESET.
I have been searching for a while now to make it work again..

I'm using the latest PS3M and Eset Smart Security 5.
Here is how to make it work:

• Open "ESET" and go to "Advanced settings".
• Click on "Network" and then "Personal firewall".
• Under "Filter mode", choose "Automatic with exceptions".
• Now click on "Rules and zones" and choose "Settings".
  You will get this window:
  
• Click "New". And enter these settings in the "General" tab:
  - Name: PS3 Media Server (you can choose this..)
  - Both ways.
  - Action: Allow.
  
  Now the "Local" tab.
  Browse for the application, you will be looking for "javaw.exe".
  Example folder: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe (should be about the same..)

Now you're streaming should be working with no problems.
Try and restart PS3 Media Server.

I hope this helps some people, if read a lot about ESET and different solutions.
But this one did the trick, all streaming works fine!

Note:
If you are using the service instead of the program.
You need to add this as a rule.

• Click "New". And enter these settings in the "General" tab:
  - Name: PS3 Media Server - Service (you can choose this..)
  - Both ways.
  - Action: Allow.
  
  Now the "Local" tab.
  Browse for the application, you will be looking for "java.exe".
  Example folder: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaw.exe (should be about the same..)

I'm now trying some settings in ESET, so PS3M doesn't put my computer in standby when streaming.
It's pretty annoying at moments..

Thank you, thank you so much!
For some moranic reason it is this javaw.exefile instead of the PSM.exe file (which I thought were more logic).
Glad I found out I was wrong but there was a way to remedy the problem!

Just did the first step (not the one involving me using "the service").

Thank you buycki!
