[therealleishmahno]

To play WMV format files, you must go to (Settings) - (System Settings) and set [Enable WMA Playback].

[therealleishmahno]

hey mate, thanks for this ! it was really helpful !

also one more thing, as well at AVI files, what other video files can it support? (i want to use it pretty much for videos only) thanks !

[SSaiyan6]

Lol , was it easy like that ? Thank you so much , you saved so much time of searching on it in the internet.

[gumnutter]

My PS3 doesnt recognise my WD external harddrive.. have I done something wrong?

[rbal4]

@gumnutter Has to be fat32

[skitzos314]

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

[RCGuru007]

Does the drive format have to be fat32 for it to show? I have heard it needs to be and my 2 Tb drive is NTFS

[12ealDeal]

You can use the exact same trick for playing MP4s. I heard you may need to omit all spaces in the file title though.

[insanityminds]

[dxmkrew]
