PS3 Media Server

[Dirk]

What is the quickest way to refresh the media library for when you add a new file you want to be able to play? I see the reset one but that takes a long time.

Mine updates within a few minutes I think.

[Dirk]

Ah so it does it automatically? Thanks.

My PS3 is connected online thru wireless and I want to do a wired connection to my PC to stream movies and porn etc,. But I cannot use both wireless and wired connection at the same time got any ideas.

I would really like to use the PS3 as a media server :(

[Dirk]

Is your wireless not fast enough to stream things? On tversity there is an option to set what type of connection you have so it knows how much to encode it and everything.

[Neo003]

Actually the wireless is my company's connection, I can't install the wires in the room that I have.

I just updated to the new version of the media server and now for some reason it doesn't like streaming MPEG files only transcoding them. I thought this might be a codec problem so i installed CCCP and i still keep getting the unsupported data showing on the PS3. Anyone else had this or know how to fix it?

Do you have things setup like I posted on the last page? It should only transcode when needed :/

Only advice is a restart of the PC AND PS3.

Both my PC and PS3 were restarted but i'll try out your settings when i'm next able to.

Thanks.

Any way to get this to see iPhoto libraries and albums on Mac or does it do this already and I haven't got it set up right. I'm using a combination of MediaLink and PS3MS right now as ML seems better for pictures/music and PS3MS better for video.

Just got my ps3 today with an hdmi cord. I got a 60" Saturday and the first thing I did today was set up this program. It's amazing. 1080p is jerky over wireless but I have an ethernet cable coming tomorrow so hopefully that will help.

One question though, I see youtube on there but not hulu. How do I find it or is there something I need to do?

To marleyuk or anyone else that wants to get rid of the "Web" folder:

Either delete/rename the WEB.conf file. :)

Love the program so far, but had to set it up wired as even though I've got a decent connection, it never seems to go over 5Mbps, which sucks for larger files and is a waste of time for HD. I even bought a new router, but the pc just doesn't seem to pump out the data quickly enough. Any ideas how to improve it ?

There was a short guide earlier on this thread. I was actually able to get 1080p streamed flawlessly with a junk wireless router and just an okay signal. I just ran a cable to it today though just in case. Do you have a pretty fast computer?

Sigh I tried it tonight.. Streaming a 720p episode on my 1080p tv and it kind of ate parts of it. You know like it was a little zoomed in. I tried to change the size, and it only had original (too small) and normal (zoomed in), and no full screen function.

[Remysaus]

Love this program, i can even transcode MKV files now since I'm using my brother's laptop (mine got fried a week ago) :)

[Dirk]

I am hoping that they add upscaling soon. Watching a SD video on my tv is just bad.

The PS3 already upscales SD content, it's just that bad in comparison to HD. And here people say upscaled SD is practically the same as HD :p

When watching a video press triangle, go to AV settings, and bang all 3 settings up to 3. That should help ever so slightly with standard definition content.

Isn't working for me. Fails to discover PS3 until I've stopped/started PS3 Media Server service a few times and asked PS3 to search for media centres. When it finally recognises them, I get far too many DNLA 2104 errors - even halfway through a film it has been displaying perfectly :/

I've got the necessary ports forwarded (5001) and allowed access to java/javaw.exe via my software firewall.

No dice.

Laptop is wireless to router, PS3 is wired to router.

Is your PS3 setup on a static IP?

Also try disabling your software firewall outright.

[WastedJoker]

Yup, PS3 is setup with a static I.P. I'll try disabling the software firewall (ESET Smart Security).

I dislike programs which use java because it's so hard to keep track of all the different java.exe rules in firewalls :/

Anyone else having similar issues? I can't seem to figure it out.

Enable "Full Pixel" on your TV settings. It'll be in a menu somewhere, at least it is on my Bravia. I think it might also be called overscan but I'm not sure.

[Piggy]

I tried.. found nothing of the sort on my Sharp tv.

It works perfectly fine from the PC at 1900x1080, and Blu-ray works fine at 1080p.

I guess I'll dig around some more..

Is anyone having issues with coverart not showing up if the video filename has a period in it?
