  • not woring

    

  • Yohoho it's the pirates life for me!

  • thanks sir

  • Awesome

  • I assume you paid for all the videos like a good boy right?

  • There is an actually program out called PS3 MEDIA Server which is real dope makes thinks real easy including transcoding check it out on google.

  • Considering most of the files that you are probably download via the web etc windows media has mad issues handling all those types of file formats like avi etc. It uses up a lot of cpu usage. If you multi-task on your computer you pretty much cant on with windows media player. you can but it's painfully slow and sometimes on responsive.

  • VLC is the best but okay!

  • is there a way to make windows media player 11 support mp4?

  • my ps3 doesn't come up in the box please help

  • does your pc have to be on to do media sharing

  • @liamx102 Yeah

  • this sharing involves uploading the media to your ps3, my question is if it's counted with your downloadlimit because 1 movie is worth of 10 gb of uploading and i can only download 75gb a month and since downloading and uploading are counted together 75 gb isn't that much and i want to make sure i won't exceed my downloadlimit with this. so i need to make sure it's working on the local network and not on the internet so if you pull out your internet it should still work but it isn't working here

  • @whiteman262 these transfers are using your Local Area Network and aren't involving your internetbandwith , so the answer is = no it won't make ur download/upload go trough the roof. It has'nt got anything to do with internet.

  • When i try to play my music on the ps3 it says it got denied

  • Respond to this video... thx u so much yo. i ben tryna get my misic off my pc to my ps3 for ah minute. subbed.

  • i can't connect my ps3 to my computer. do you need special cables/setup?

  • works like a charm....

    

  • very helpfull thanks!

  • dude i got 3.30 version on my ps3 and i can't do it anymore what else can i do so i can do it cuz when i try to do it, it say  "no media servers were found" Help!!

    help plz thanks

  • im using vista and im able to watch videos :P

  • brilliant mate thanks for the vid.

  • Should My PC and WMP11 be on to allow me to share it on my ps3?

  • crap talk u can do it also with vista only use then ps3streamer works awesome

  • can you play .mkv files like this ?

  • brilliant mate cheers

  • thanks this helped a lot

  • I've got a Windows Media Player 11 Setup for XP on my site if anybody needs it.

  • nero is way better than wm11... so not the best

  • Thank you, that work excelente.

  • I'm having problems with this set up now and not sure why. My XP PC was recognized and then randomly it wasn't any more. I'm new to Media Sharing with XP since Win 7 makes it so easy. Anyone seen this issue. I re-did all the setup steps to share and still nothing. It sees my laptop but not my PC. its crazy, please message me if you have any ideas

  • just download vuze. takes all of 2 mins to setup. even a dummy could do it !!!!

  • thanks Cris  am gona try it wish me luck

  • thanks a lot man.

  • I have vista and windows worked for a while then for some reason buffered up. I now use vuze which kicks ass any day download torrents then vuze automaticaly streams to ps3. Been using over 1 year and no problems

  • Thanks for this. I started using those other stupid server programs (what a waste of time).

    Windows Media Player works prefectly thanks to your instructions!

  • it works perfectly with vista u just have to change the format of the videos to play in media player

  • Do videos work with Win 7?

  • @13mordeth It does work, you just have to change sharing options.

  • Good video...Helps alot...I keep getting a message when I try to copy the files from my computer to my PS3....'A problem has occured being signed out'

  • hey thanks for the video its great, but after i upload vids to windows media player i go to my ps3 and go to the video folder and all videos and i get a msg saying There are no tracks...what you think ?

  • same here..:(

  • get this thing called tVersity works wonders

  • thanks for your help...great

  • thanks bro it was pretty eazsy but i want to know how to open up my rom and emulator lol im a nerd

  • Hey bro, I have Windows Media encoder so I just used the UPnP setting in there. After doing that I figured it wasn't what I wanted so instead I wrote my own server in C#. Nice video though. Also, I did get it to work in Vista. Also, you do use iTunes too. VLC is what I used prior to everything else. Good video though. :)

  • Thanx man, we should play some Modern Warfare 2.

  • thank man

  • Thank you m8

  • hey i hav wifi and wen i go to media sharing on windows media player 11 it doesnt show any device, any help pls

  • I can play .mkv films on mine now :)

  • Thanks very much.

  • cheers mate

  • MAN CANT FIND IT THE FUKA

  • Ok I have my PS3 setup to use the home wifi. And connect to my PC windows media player share through WIFI. But there is quite a long delay for songs and movies to play as the WIFI connection to the PC is only 54mbs. So I connected a lan cable between the ps3 and pc so it would be more instant but the PS3 isnt finding a connection. Can you not run a wired and wireless netowrk together simultaneously on the ps3? As I want to use the wifi for internet but lan cable for media streaming.

  • i dont think it will work straight like that. I used my orignal xbox as a media centre and it wouldnt work with 2 networks simultaneously. If you plug your ps3 via lan cable into your router and your pc by cable into your router that should make it stream faster.

  • thanks much bro.

    had to go with a ethernet cord from the laptop to the PS3, but now i have a medai server, and a more reliable PS3 internet signal

    thx

  • thanks man

  • This is great - thanks very much!

  • Thx it worked great

  • Ok so BOTH devices (PS3 and PC) have to be turned on for this to work right?

    Has anyone tried playing 1080p movies? Is there lag or stuttering?

    Thanks!

  • My PS3 cant find any Servers... i did all the stuff in WMP11.... HELP?

  • hey, wmp isnt picking up my ps3 on the list, anyway i can fix this?

  • ok awesome :D now i can take my External HDD and My WMP11 and basicly ... fuck my computer i got a ps3 :D

  • nice dude,thanks for uploading ;D

  • Great info. PS3 instructions lack how to allow from other ends unfortunately. This was a great help, now i can access everything i was looking for in a single settings change.

  • my files wont show up either but in reconizes the server

  • hey ur gamesonsmashteck

  • Hey Sand-Man, on the part of this video about the Vista and videos not working, there may be a way. If it is anything like Windows 7 you could try to republish the videos in MovieMaker to get them to work. That is what I did for Windows 7. If that still does not work, like I had two so far that did not, I was able to Fraps the videos while playing them on the PC and republishing the Fraps files in MovieMaker to get them to work on the PS3. It may be worth a try if you have not already.

  • Thanx for the info.

  • my files wont show on the PS3 ? it shows and all on the PS3 all the folders but no files.

    if someone knows how to fix this pleaseplease tell me!!:D

  • my computer doesnt show up on the ps3 i did all the steps

  • very nice walk through, thanks!

  • Ive done all this and my windows media doesnt recognise the ps3 as a device for potential sharing and my ps3 cant find my computer as a media server

  • @andycraig /watch?v=Zq27BxXCLcw

    watch this , works perfect !!!

    made my day Ahhhh :D

  • @andycraig Sme here but i got it working a few weeks back but know i have the same problem as you:(

  • WMP streaming lags for me, is this normal?

    I setup my laptop to share and ran a movie off it on the PS3 and it kept lagging and freezing, both laptop and ps3 have excellent signals to the wireless router...

  • wmp is the easiest...but it doesn't support some of the files i like...........u can use ps3 media server and wmp both.

  • thx man it worked

  • Thanks a lot!!!!

    Life Saver!!!

  • i wonder if it will work on Windows 7

  • can someone please tell me which compression format has the best quality for video, or how to tweak the settings of a video converter so that when I compress, say video files to mp4 or avi, I can get the best possible quality.

  • Thanks alot man , thts gona help me alot!!

  • Awesome dude .. worked a treat

  • hey thanks man i got it running on windows 7 im watching dragonball as we speak :)

  • This seams pretty poinless and an undeaded program. I put everything from my windows media player 11 on a usb drive and did a little thing called copy and paste, it took like 20 minutes to get all my music and photos, and like 2 hours to get all my videos, without having to have another application taking up computer space.

  • Seems pointless but if you google how many people cannot do it the wmp11 way because it simply doesn't work for them, this is a damn good substitute.

  • yeah I guess it is pretty good for some people, I think it is most beneficial for people who use torrents because they are always getting so much media, but I don't use them, I rip everything, so I don't always have a fresh group of data to transfer.

  • Can this also work using an ethernet cable?

  • I'm drunk and high and could follow these simple instructions. Thanks, man!

  • hey, same prob as shondon3160, theres no audio wen playin a music file

  • thx man but i got a problem. my videos work but my music wont play back. it weird im running windows xp. the music will show up but wont play . i did all the stuff u told me to do and it helped. but still no music playback. any suggestions?

  • I've got a question about this vid um does it also

    work with a ps3 slim? plz reply

  • Comment removed

  • is there a way to secure your media server so that unkown users cant have access?

  • Thanks Alot friend i had done this in the past and it was canceled after one of Ps3 updates, and now its back thanks for helping me hook this up!

  • Something i never did know you have really helped me get over 200 songs to play on my ps3 :) no more transfering from a flash disk yay

  • my vids work fine on vista

  • thanks man, great vid, worked perfect ;)

  • i found the media server and im on it, but when i go to music, then all music,, it says, there are no titles. Anyone know how to fix this or whats wrong?

  • you probably know now but you probably saved the music to a different folder.

  • ya, i was having a dumb moment and was looking under video instead of music but didnt notice =P i got it all squared away now, but ty.

  • I have firewall off on vista but media share doesnt show PS3 device! What??@@

  • after hrs of NOT seeing the ps3 on my wmp11 i believe it came up after I enabled DMZ on my router omgn stressful lol

  • thats crazy i named my self Sand_man00

  • media players doesn't recognize my ps3...help!!!!

  • nothing recognizes my ps3. vuze, ps3 media server.....nothing. I don't get it. Guess ill just stick with my hard drive transfers ugh

  • the prolem i have with my ps3 is that when i download some movies from torrents, they play fine on my computer but when i copy them over on to my ps3, the video plays but there is like a static noise that you can hear,

    do you know how to sort this? O.o

  • thanks for th advice i will giv it a shot

    btw can you sort me out with a invtation code for demoniod i cantregister with them with out it O.o

    cheers

  • sorry my previous comment meant to be easy to stream videos

  • Sorry but you are incorrect to stream media from vista is quite easy to do and I disagree I find tversity to be a much better program gives you more options and works a lot faster

  • does the ps3 and computer have to be online to do this?

  • yeah

  • i cant get my computer to recognise my ps3, nothing shows up

  • Thanks for your help there mate, it worked a treat :) *crosses another job off the to do list*

  • Here are some topics that will make this tutorial stand out:

    1. compare to options like tversity (transcoding, tagging, server drops)

    2. How different file types (mkv, avi, wma, mp4) work with this setup

    3. Ways to tag videos so you don't have to sift through miles of videos

    4. Remind people to look in the right group on the PS3 (look for music under music even though there may be a music folder in the video group)

    Your video seems to be the best I've seen so far, but you could make it better.

  • THANK YOU!!

  • Does the pc have to be on everytime u wanna watch a vid on the ps3 or is it that once the ps3 has found the pc it just copies those movies onto its hard drive??? Love your vidds by the way!!!

  • i cant get my ps3 to get recognized by my media player..on shared media...it only has other pc users and my dad's labtop..hwo do i get my ps3 to show up on the list

  • how do you get movies in media player library?

    and my vids play

  • thanks

    this is exactly the info i was wanting

  • Whenever i enable media server on my ps3 it knocks out my wireless router, anyone know of a fix???

  • Use ps3 media server. noob.

    if you just want to play crappy 700mb vid files then GREAT.

    ps3 media server PLAYS HD files. noob.

    you dont need to add to any library.

    stop giving advice, take the video down, today. please.

  • Actually, DXMuxer is way better. Keeps quality of MKV. I tried the Xp server but quality was so crap.... hehe.
