ps3 media server - apprently has 'media libary' function...wich displays such tings as artists/albums/tags etc on ps3...rather than just folders... but it WONT WORK....why ? its a greta program...and lets me veiw files from bothers pc via homenetework.. tversity - another great peic eof software...but it wont let me add folders that r beign shared on my brotehrs pc (ps3 media server allows this easily) so i follow instruction and just got some STUPID ERROR... heres what the FAQ it tells me to do... I cannot add content located on network drives or I cannot play it on my target device and instead when I try to play something the device either gives an error message or just scrolls from one file to another without ever playing anything The TVersity Media Server will not be able to access content on the network unless the Windows service that corresponds to it has a log-on account of an administrative user of your choice. By Default the TVersity Media Server is installed such that it uses the system account. This account is very limited when it comes to networking and therefore it is necessary to modify it to a different account that is not limited in that respect. You can use your own account or if you prefer you can set-up a separate account for the media server. Here are the steps involved in changing the log-on account on Windows XP/2K: * Go to the Start menu / Settings / Control Panel. The control panel window should open. * Double click the Administrative Tools icon. The administrative tools window should be displayed. * Double click the Services icon from this window. The Services window should open. * Locate the TVersityMediaServer in the list of service and double click on it. A properties window should open. Select the Log On tab at the top of the property window. The Log On options should be displayed. * In this window, the Local System Account should appear as selected, and you should change it to This account. Enter your user name (or the user name of the account you wish the TVersity Media Server to use) in the text box next to the This Account label. Enter your password and confirm it and the click OK. This should close the properties window and the Services windows should now be visible again. * In the service window, make sure the TVersityMediaServer is still selected and click the underlined Restart (or if not available click the Start) on the top left corner of this window. This should restart the server using the newly entered account. If no error occurs you have successfully completed the process. * If some error occured please repeat the entire process and make sure you follow each step carefully.
TVersity is definitely the best media server around, especially because of the streaming podcasts, which 'ps3 media server' can't do. I'm not sure how to fix your problem though, sorry. Maybe just refresh your library. And go to settings and change the output device (or whatever it says) to Sony PS3
You can always try creating another folder and copy the content over to the second folder to use for your tversity. There shouldnt be a conflict that way, so long as you have the extra hard drive space. If you mean that there are 2 computers, yours and your brothers, and they are sharing media, and you want to allow these folders to be used by the PS3 too, then that isnt really possible to my knowledge.
