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 .....  :D

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

^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.

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! ;D

pwede po in layman's term? ;D

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 !

PS3 Media Server v1.04 for Windows/Linux/OSX


Here's the changelog:

- Changes / Features

. New option to enable video copy on ps3
. RAW images thumbnail support: CR2/CRW/PEF/NEF/ORF/SRF/MRW/DNG/ARW/RAF
. New extensions supported: SHN/M2V/M2P
. tsMuxer engine can now mux or reencode in AC3/PCM all audio tracks in real time
. Add the experimental mencoder build for multicore on OSX
. DVR-MS remuxer now included by default in Windows package
. New translations: Spanish (thanks to Jose from playstationhoy.com), Dutch (thanks to Vincent Meylof), German (thanks to Jeuki), Russian (thanks to Peter Klassen), Polish (thanks to Maciej Bocian), Greek (thanks to Alexander Polichroniadis), Portuguese (thanks to Hugo Sousa), Finnish (thanks to Ove Sentlig), Norwegian (thanks to Ball80 and Topguy), Swedish (thanks to Dusan Ilic) and Japanese (thanks to Yu)

- Fixes

. tsMuxer's AC3/LPCM encode/muxing + Mencoder's LPCM remuxing now working on Linux
. Fixed LPCM seeking issue
. Fixed regression with PicasaWeb images feed
. Changes in subtitles loading / Fonts support (Default/ASS/Embedded Fonts)
. Fixed channels order with tsMuxer engine's DTS->AC3 option
. Transcode buffer wasn't fully released after end of video
. Fixed bug with shared folders selection on Windows
. Fixed periodic alive messages sent to ps3
. Better dvr-ms media info retrieval
. Updated ffmpeg/mplayer/mencoder/mt builds on Windows and OSX (slight H264 speedup for singlecore)
. Buffer issues with transcoded audio files lasting more than 10 minutes
. Fixed RSS parsing with some feeds

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!

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