Media Server

spawk · 11-05-2008

Found a couple of forums this morning detailing how to run a Media Server off your PC thru a network to your PS3 with Windows Media Player 11

Run WMPlayer
Goto Tools -> Options...
Click the Library Tab
and click the Configure Sharing button

Its pretty simple from there, Choose which folders you want to share and search for the media server on your PS3.

Nuthin like streaming movies/music over a network

(If its already been brought up, im sorry for repeating)

Works with a few other programs also, including Vuze.
I've been using it for a while and the only gripe i have is that it takes a while to load, although I am using wireless.

spawk · 11-05-2008

Yeah must come down to the router, I havnt had any delay what so ever...

Runs like it is on the PS3 harddrive

It only really benefits you if you use Vuze as a media library.
Otherwise it's just an annoyance.

Anyone having trouble playing 720p and 1080p content over tversity?

jth · 09-06-2008

Are you running over Ethernet or wirless?

I have trouble streaming HD stuff over wireless but that's just due the speed of wireless. Wish ps3 had a wireless n card option or you could swap it out.

**joeL** · 09-06-2008

Wired.

Yeah most of my stuff work, it just seems a bit of the HD stuff and a few movies don't seem to work. They don't quote any error code or anything, just says there was an error playing the file. :/

SubNoize · 09-06-2008

i dont actually get how i start playing it on my xbox? i've got it all hooked up and i just added an .avi file to TVersity its sitting in the sharing section.

Now when i go to my xbox theres no video files in any of the folders e.g. my videos (8), internet videos (7), featured (3)

They vary in size from around 1gb-10gb depending on length and resolution. Funny though, some 3gb files work but others don't.

ctd · 09-06-2008

Its to do with the codecs..

Westy · 09-06-2008

but my 700mb movies wont work.

sometimes my audio in movies is really choppy and scrambled ... google failed me for this problem.

Don't think so... It plays some mpeg-2 files but not others. Unless there is a codec for massive video files?

jth · 09-06-2008

Yeah I'm going with a codec problem too, especially if the vidoes are using some new formats like .mkv
