PS3 is a media server!

[JAQY888]

kailangan ba nakakabit ba yung pc sa ps3? or wirelessly sya para maka-connect sa ps3?

No need to connect the PC to the PS3, bro.
The wireless router will do the trick ..... 

[RNIverson]

Yep, for our case Linksys Router 

[juanch]

^ I use a Linksys router also. Xbox 360 naman ang media extender ko because it supports Windows Media Center.

[keema]

hmmm...sorry po sa tanong ko so kung ps3 ----> router (wireless) -----> pc kahit wired or wireless okay lang po?

salamat po..

[jeyps11_c]

^Sorry...hindi ko masyado maintindihan ang set up mo.
Here's how I am set up:

PC/Laptop --> router (wired or wireless is ok)
router --> PS3 (wireless will work)
*make sure to configure your wireless network on your PS3

Just run PS3mediaserver on your PC/Laptop
Open your PS3 and use the PS3 XMB to browse folders in your PC/Laptop
Select the file you want to play and you should be good to go.

Will this work on more than one PS3 in a network? 

[leomar]

interesting find, ill mark this for reference later tonight...
do you need powerful PC to transcode the mkv on the fly? what is the final output, mpeg? 

[mr_yoso]

My wife did the setup so I'm not really familiar with it. From what I remember, you just have to add the folders to be shared on the Winmedia Player 'media sharing' option.

<--- nosebleed sir!

pwede po in layman's term?

After reading this thread yesterday, i tried last night. Downloaded the softwares n codec and spent 2 hours trying to fix
why the ps3 does not diplay the ps3 media server in the xmb, finally i disabled the firewall and bam! it worked 

Used it to stream wwe royal rumble hd file with no problems. Having problems with mkv files though as my watchmen trailer slows down when playing thru my ps3..

[SpydaMang]

the other advantage is, if you have both an NMT and a PS3, you can place the other in a separate room.  galing!

how can i stream from my NMT to my PS3? any other gadget needed for the streaming?thanks!

new version!

mercredi 4 février 2009
v1.04
Hi,

here's the new version!... some explanations about the new "video copy" feature: in previous versions, you couldn't copy any transcoded videos on your ps3, due to a virtual size of 94gb... now it's possible, with this option enabled. Be careful: if you want to use that feature, it's recommended to set a reasonable bandwidth limit in transcode options, because transcoded videos will have no fixed size, and you could fill up your ps3's hard drive pretty quickly with default settings !

are you streaming via wired or wireless network? if wireless, di kaya ng ps3 pag stream ng 1080p (it gets choppy) . . . best also to convert the mkv files to VOB via mkv2vob

Hi. In the Transcoding settings tab, there is a drop down menu on the video quality setting.  You can select a lower quality video that can be supported by your home network. 

I use a WiFi -G network at home so I have to select a lower quality.  Wifi can't support the high bitrates.  If you want the best quality, suggest you wire both your PC and PS3 to the router directly.  There are several options on the quality settings, so choose the best that will remove the stutterring.

thanks

not sure if this is the right forum.. just a quick question

Would a PS3 be able to read a "mac extended (journaled)" formatted External Hard disk?

thanx for the reply!

[odyopayl]

Buhayin ko lang ito. I can make a connection between my PC and my PS3. It works fine with Picture sharing. However, with the Video (Movie) it wot work for me. Is there any configuration? By the way can it Read MPEG4?

[odyopayl]

Hay...no reply! Anyway, I already configured my system. It is faster to connect your PC/laptop via RJ45 (LAN) cable it's fast!
