So yesturday I decided i was going to try and set my PC up with a Media Server software so i could use the Media Server Function of the PS3 to watch videos and music and pics and such.
I highly suggest doing this if you have a lot of movies on your computer and would like to watch them on your tv without having to burn it or hook the computer directly to the tv (or in my case, run a vga to the projector and then figure out a way to plug for sound into the reciever. lame)
I downloaded a program called TwonkyVision. Its a little application that has a 30 day free trial with full capabilities. (I will definatly be buying this). Setup was quick and painless (exept i was having a problem with the server losing connection after 30 minutes, all you have to do is Disable ???? Messages and it fixes the problem) All you do is set up in the media server interface what folders you want to share, it will automatically populate the media server with the videos you will be sharing/streaming.
Went to the PS3 and clicked on search for media servers, it found it, went into it and it listed all of my movies, quickly and easily played one of the movies and it was full quality, great sound, purely AWESOME. Check it out if you guys are bored.
Just another PS3 Positive over xbox 360. lol
