PiMPStreamer WPA..

Finally a WPA version…

Argh after senseless debugging, I discovered that I forgot to initialize the crop tables in the memodule.prx . Anyway a good debugging experience is always a lesson well learned!

To make the WPA version I took the memodule from the libmemodule implementation of PMPMOD VLC, coming from the briljant coders jockyW and jonny.. Also I had to rewrite a part of the whole app for user mode.. Anyway it works now.. PiMPStreamer WPA..

The setup wiil install both versions of the software for 1.5 and 3.X. On vista don’t select the checkbox in the installer, but install the psp software after installing.

added bonusses of the WPA version: the psp 0.90 app will quit when pressing HOME :-)

Also if you install manually, just place the PIMPSTREAMER090 dir in /PSP/GAME (not in /PSP/GAME150 anymore. )

 

Donwload PiMPStreamerSetup-0.90.msi or PiMPStreamer-0.90.zip

Update: Appearantly there is an error with the new streamer.. As I have no trouble streaming all kinds of content with my  3.10 oe-A PSP with a WPA (PSK-TKIP) static IP connection, so I’m looking for situations to reproduce the problem.

Please anyone who can send me feedback, comment here or post in the forum, and give as much info as possible. ;-) thanx!

Someone pointed to me that the server version was 0.83.. I think the msi creation went wrong. I rebuilded the MSI.

Download PiMPStreamerSetup-0.90a.msi

    awsome. i’m downloading/installing it now!

  2. evidence Says:

    PiMP Streamer is sic man, lovin your product ;)

    Me and a few others have noticed that when trying to play media (tried a few xvids and mp3s) the screen returns “Error:” and hangs. I’m able to connect to my server and browser the dir structure via WPA fine though.

    Keep up the great work!

  3. JoP Says:

    I love this program, I’m so happy that you’ve made a WPA version. Keep up the good work, man!

  4. stickle Says:

    yeaah thanks broo

  5. Karl Says:

    I get “Error:” when playing anything and then the psp shuts down.
    Connects fully though.

  6. MaxDemian Says:

    Thank you so much for the WPA version. Chur from New Zealand!

  7. Kim Madsen Says:

    Finally, Fantastic Work, the WPA support is the only thing holding me of this amazing application.

  8. edipo Says:

    I get “Error:” when I try to play anything, the connection seems to work well

  10. TrojanBarber Says:

    Hi and thx for wpa version :)
    never had any problems with previous version…
    i have fw3.03 and i am running it on 1.50 kernel
    i got this error with 0.90 version in GAME dir :

    Starting…
    Could not load PSP_NET_MODULE_COMMON

    Press x to continue (pressing it doesnt work, home button will exit fine)

    With other version titled 2.01 also installed in GAME dir i got fine until it needs to list Current stream directory: “”
    It just hangs on there and waits with WIFI light on and after some time adds text error connection to host IPADDRESS:PORT (not written here for security reasons :)

    I tried to change to 3.03 kernel in recovery menu, it doesent fixed anything :(

    Internet browser working fine with this new WPA-PSK (TKIP). I stayed on WEP just beacuse of pimpstreamer so i really want this WPA version up and running :)
    Thx one again

  11. sad Says:

    on 3.40oe: the testing goes well, but no video is playable; pimp is exiting with error. and i was so happy about the wpa support :-(
    but i’m sure you will fix it :-)

  12. I Says:

    Same problem as TrojanBarber except i use 3.10oe-a
    tried putting it in all the different game foldes g(ame, game150, game310 just in case). also tried switching the kernel modes but doesen’t help
    anyways so ill be waiting for an update or fix :-)

  15. RuDe DuDe Says:

    has ANYONE got this to work yet?
    There is a problem, Maybe as simple as a missing directory!???

  16. RuDe DuDe Says:

    does it need a custom ini?

  17. simon Says:

    Using 3.03 OE-B I get:
    Could not load PSP_NET_MODULE_COMMON
    Ill try upgrading to a newer OE and see how it goes.

  18. simon Says:

    and……the auto installer appears to install server 0.83

  19. SysError Says:

    Using 3.xx OE gives me the same “error:” as a lot of people. No solution yet?

    YESSSS WPA THX

  21. SysError Says:

    What a bummer, the program is great, but I still have to go back to WEP…
    Btw. Somehow the pmp.ini needed to be copied manually from the 1.5 version to the OE version map?

  22. KingofKingz Says:

    same prob here, after chosing the prefared vid it says loading and then error: and shuts itself off!

    Any solutions for that?

  23. DickyDick1969 Says:

    Hmm i tested it on a 3.10 oe, running fine. Perhaps I forgot something in the MSI? Did anyone try the ZIP ?

  24. DickyDick1969 Says:

    Question for all testers:

    Can you run the “connection test” ?
    What is your Psp rendersize option?

  25. Ryu Says:

    I’m on 3.40 OE-A
    what setting do you need to have set in recovery mode
    what folder do you install it in to(GAME,GAME150 GAME340)

    using the zip

    also the 1.5 icon need an update
    and version on pimpstrem pc app need to be fixed(0.83 show on the title bar)

  26. Maxi_jac' Says:

    Yo ! I also get the “Error :”

    I run the 0.90 pimpstreamer on kernel 3.40

    ++ B.

  27. Paul Says:

    Im on 3.40 OE-A
    Test ran fine, had to copy folder to 3.40 folder.
    render size is 480×272
    I can view images ok but just get the error message for videos and music

  28. stickle Says:

    i’m using fw 3.30 oea the connection test runs till “state 3 of 4″ and then my psp freezes

  29. Maxi_jac' Says:

    Still me .. I ‘d like to add that when i use the 2.01 sub version (packed in the same msi), the video works :)
    So i’ll stick to 2.01 sub

    ++ B.

  30. crack Says:

    doesnt work with 3.10oe
    it gives the following error with 3.X version
    tried both GAME and GAME150

    “Starting..
    Could not load PSP_NET_MODULE_COMMON

    Press x to continue”

    1.5 version gets further but still does not work

    it incorectly assigns IP address
    Network configurations:
    “1. BLAH (BLAH) ” (its all zeros)

    after selecting a network it says
    “No Pimpserver found in PMP.ini
    Rerun the psp binary installation..”

    installation does not include PMP.ini

    hope this feedback is useful in developing a fix

  31. thaimonkey Says:

    I’m getting the “error:” as well.

    I have a WPA password. I’m running 0.90 on a 3.30 OE-A.

    As a side note, for 1st time users, the installer does not place a pmp.ini in the 3.X game directory, but does place one in the SUB directory in the 1.5 folder. The connection tests would not complete without that, so I copied the one from the SUB folder. All connections ran, with good speed. It just crashed on attempting to play a video.

  32. Paul Says:

    When i try the sub version, the psp gets stuck on connection state 3 of 4

  33. crack Says:

    *”1. BLAH (BLAH) 0.0.0.0″ (its all zeros)

  35. Waterlogged Says:

    3.40 OE-A gets through WPA neg, but fails at the stream selection. I get simply “Error” after I initiate the stream. The app then crashes to power off.

    I’m sure you’ll find the fix Mr. Dick. Just wondering, did the v.83 PC component accidentally get distributed with the new .90 PSP release? The “About Pimpstreamer” is still reporting .83. Hope this helps…

    Thanks as always

  36. Paul Says:

    The link for the msi doesn’t work

  37. DickyDick1969 Says:

    :-) now it does…

  38. ybakker Says:

    Hi. Just wanted to report my log.

    Running 3.40 OE-A.

    1.5 version works fine. Great work. maybe you’d like to change the “ICON0.PNG” to say “0.90″ not “V2.01″ =)

    3.X version says “Error:” when starting a stream. I have a WEP key on my wireless router. I have placed it in GAME340. (my regular GAME folder is associated with the 1.50 kernel).

    Great work though again. Hup HOLLAND!!!

  39. DickyDick1969 Says:

    Looks like I have to upgrade to 3.40 :-( to inspect this problem..

  40. chillen Says:

    maybe it has something to do with the wpa passkey?

  41. Leo Says:

    Good to see the update again. Here are my results with 3.40 OE-A. I tested this with the new msi and only the v2.01 version works in the PSP/GAME folder and trying to run 0.90 from the same folder results in “Starting..Could not load PSP_NET_MODULE_COMMON Press x to continue”. Now if I move the 0.90 to PSP/GAME340 folder it connects to my access point I can get into the media directories on the PC and see the files but when trying to stream it just says ERROR on the screen and there is no activity in the Streaming bar on the server GUI.

  42. simon Says:

    Upgraded from 303oeb to 340oea and using 0.90a.

    Realised I had the 3.xx version in the wrong folder (this is the cause of the “Could not load PSP_NET_MODULE_COMMON” problem), moved it to GAME304 folder. It now connects fine to the server but get the “Error:” message.

    Also tried static & dynamic IP but no change.

  43. GaMeFaNaTiC Says:

    yeh, if you put the pimpstreamer 0.90 folder into game340 itl load up but you get an Error: if you play somthing and the psp freezes for me.

  44. Jonny Says:

    I was getting to PSP_NET_MODULE_COMMON error as well….then when i tried to log onto my wireless network though the psp’s default internet browser all my network settings where gone. I re-entered my settings, including my WEP Key. Next time i tried loading PiMPStreamer on psp (3.03oe-c) i’m back to getting the “Error connection to host ***.***.*.***:3333 (* being my ip address) what am i doing wrong

  45. Karl Says:

    This works in 3.10OE but not 3.30OE or 3.40OE.
    Just tested it on my psp in all 3 versions (and all revisions).

  46. Boisy Says:

    Im Using 3.10OEA
    a solution i tried to that PSP_NE_MODULE_COMMON error

    trie turning off your Wi-fi Switch before clicking on Pimpstreamer
    when it connects to pimp it will say

    Wi-fi Switch off
    Wi-fi Switch off

    something like that

    then you turn the switch on

    then wola! worked for me once then after that it just keep working now without having to switch it off and on anymore.. see if that helps any of u

    first of all thnx a lot for the amazing tool for psp owners, seriously, good job on that!
    I was just wondering, is there a way to control the media while its being played? other than controlling the volume, is theres a way to pause the video or seek forward or backwards?! if so then please let me know

    thnx!

  51. OoZic Says:

    I can browse in the media path, but when I select a video-file (mp4, works if I play it on my memory-card) after a few seconds my psp turns off.

    A fix would be nice, but take your time you work to hard as it is!..

    Running 3.30 OE A’
    Connecting to server through Netgear router using WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK with AES+TKIP Static IP’s for both server and PSP ( NO special port Config needed )
    Server running on Dual P4 2.02 GHz XP Pro SP 2+ system with 1.5 GB ram
    AV and software protection via MS Live One Care ( Had to open port 3333 and allow traffic from Pimpstreamer.exe in the Windows Firewall settings.)

    PSP can connect and browse designated media directories. PMP Connection Test function comes back fine.
    Pictures can be viewed and copied to PSP via L Trigger. Server shows file and stream status for pictures.
    MP3 and Video can be selected on PSP but results in ERROR message, lockup, shutdown. Server never shows that any file had been selected to stream.

    Thought that having spaces, -, _ or = in folder and file names may be the probelm. Renamed everyting to not have any of the above and it still did not work.

  56. SSJChar Says:

    it DOES work with 3.10oeA!!! i just tried it on my brothers psp(mine has 3.30oe, and his has 3.10oea) and it works! i dunno whats up with it not working in other versions though. i’ll post this in the forums too.

    Any ideas what might be the problem ?
    The WLAN I’m using to connect to internet doesn’t have any encryptions as it is free.

    I got the ERROR: screen when ever i try to start music or video. But if i will look at pictures it just works.

    Must be some problem in the new 3.40 firmware that makes it crashs with the music and video.

    Hope you remake a new version asap with it fixed! Thanks for a nice tool.

    trie to turn off the plugins in your recovery menu if you got some on your psp

    if you got the “PSP_NET_MODULE_COMMON” error

    HOLD your PSP’s power button to turn it off, then HOLD the R key to turn it back on.

    Hey DickyDick1969 If you need a tester for further versions of this awsome program just email me and ill test when ever i reach the mail.

    I always upgrades to the newest version of the firmware on the psp and i can test on Win2k, XP and vista if you need it.

    Curently i have problems running it on firmware 3.40 so i would really like to test for you! :)

  67. Jr Says:

    Nice version Dickydick !

    Een paar bugs gevonden tot zover (few bugs found):

    You can clearly see Pimpstreamer WPA is based of VLCP 0.0.9 OE as in the connection states. Can’t you change that because my psp hangs at connection state 6 of 6.

    With the X button you can show up a blue menu with some settings (from PMPAVC) but that doesn’t show up 99/100 times ! I only had it twice after pressing the X button 20 times or so.

    And some tips: Make colors available, because i know Purple is PIMP, but i like black, and it saves my psp battery !

    Thanks.

    so what is the diff between pmpstreamer .90 and 2.01???? .90 didnt work for me so i deleted it but 2.01 seems to work for me just fine..

    what the heck is .90? is that for 1.50 firmwares or something?

    P.S. im running 3.40 and no probs (other than .90 not working)

    Thanks

  72. Chyros Says:

    I have a 3.40 OE-A and my friend’s 3.10 OE-A.

    My 3.40 OE-A, Pimpware SUB version works fine and perfect althoug sometimes it hangs. The Pimpware 0.90 version is is not working and I got “Error:” when trying to play it. BTW, I’m using 3.40 kernel on both. I experienced the same even on 1.50 kernel (SUB works fine, 0.90 got error).

    My friend’s 3.10 OE-A, Pimpware 0.90 works fine and perfect. I haven’t tried running the SUB version though.

    If people with the same OE version but have different experience on running Pimpware, try changing your UMD and it might solve the problem. I’m using Chotto Shot Edit UMD btw.

  73. PSP_NET FIX Says:

    To fix the PSP_NET_MODULE_COMMON problem, you are likely using a “GAME” folder and on 1.50 Kernel.

    To fix the issue, create a “GAME340″ (or whichever 3xx you have) next to your standard GAME folder and place PIMPSTREAMER090 in it. Now when you start up pimpstreamer you will no longer get that message and it’ll properly connect.

    However, now I’m still encountering the unknown blank “Error:” upon trying to stream something and crashing the psp.

    Firmware version 3.03 OE C
    Router, with WPA encryption

    When launching v. 0.90 I only have a purple screen saying “starting” forever, I tried with folder GAME and GAME303, none worked. I also tried to copy the pimp.ini file from the 1.50 version, but same results. (Static or dynamic IP give the same result)

    Version 201SUB seemed to work, but failed at state 3of4 while connecting. This was apparently because I had DHCP. With a static IP, I managed to go through step 4, then the application froze. Either in testing mode, or in “real” mode (it says something like : Current stream directory: “” , then nothing)

    I have good hopes for the WPA protection (my router doesn’t work with WEP) on Pimpstreamer, hope someone will find a solution !

  80. frwololo Says:

    Me again.
    tried with 3.40 OE (fresh install)
    Dynamic IP doesn’t seem to work, but other than that I can now connect with WPA encryption.
    I get the same error as other people : “Error:” when I tried to read a video.

  81. DickyDick1969 Says:

    for now the solution is going back to 3.10 ..

  82. fragrbel Says:

    nice progr. i got 3.40 oe-a everything works till i try opening audio or video. it just crashes and shows error: nothing else.

  83. cenobyte Says:

    IT WORKS DAMMIT !
    For the record i have 3.40 OE. At first i got the same problem as most of you guys, that is all worked well but when i tried to play a movie or song it just said “error:” and crashed.
    I started messin’ around a bit and here’s my working configuration :

    - first of all do exactly as the tutorial says
    - make sure that you’re running on kernel 3.40 (in recovery menu, under configuration)
    - the folders PIMPSTREAMER201SUB and PIMPSTREAMER201SUB% are put in \GAME150
    - the folder PIMPSTREAMER090 is put in \GAME
    - i disabled all plugins in recovery menu
    - in your psp menu go to game, memory stick and choose pmpstreamer V2.01 SUB

    that’s it, the rest is as described in the tutorial, make connection, go to your shared folders, select your movie or song and press circle and enjoy :-)

    Note that the above config works for 3.40 OE, i dunno about other firmwares..
    Also note that i am not using any encryption on my wireless connection.
    Hope it can help someone…

  84. KnightOrc Says:

    cenobyte: you are using WEP, the problem is with 0.90 and WPA, not 2.01 SUB and WEP.

  85. Jammy Says:

    I just want to thx cenobyte ! I just installed the PiMPStreamerSetup-0.90a on my 3.40 oe-a !!!

  86. Anarchtica Says:

    I installed this tonight and I am also have the “error” problem. I’m running Dark Alex’s 3.4 oe-a firmware. I can browse and view my pictures no problem but when I try to play music or videos of any format I get the error and then my PSP shuts down. I’m running a Linksys WRT-54G wireless router with WPA-TKIP. I figured it was a problem with WPA, but when I disabled the security I still get the same problem. But I guess it wouldn’t be WPA related since people with 3.10 firware do not have an issue plus we can view our pictures in 3.40.

    So it might have to do with how it gets installed to the PSP?

    i tested .91 with my wrt-54g and i cant get wpa to work only wep…it hangs on the test 2 but works flawlessly with wep encryption…
