Setting up a MS (MEDIA SERVER) for use with the PS3.

Okay, so have you (like myself) ever wondered wtf does the Media Server option does to your PS3?,

The answer is simple, it streams media of all kinds (pictures, music and video) from any pc to your PS3, it works in a similar way to the 360´s media stream (just that here you dont need any OS version, heck you dont even need to have windows on that pc of yours). So I´ll explain how to get things up nd running.

1. Download either WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11(windows only) or TVersity (windows, linux and OS 10.4 (using an emulator)).

2. Id go for TVersity as it converts the media on the go so that it can be read by your PS3.

3. If you choose to use WMP11 convert all your media to a PS3 format , then on the library tab click Media Share and select allow unknown devices, assuming that your PC is on the same network as the PS3 and thar your media is PS3 ready youre good to go(note: WMP11 NEEDS TO BE RUNNING).

4.If you use TVersity, just enter it and start steaming, no need to onvert anything.

5.Enjoy¡
