always wanted to stream divx, xvid , mp3, wav i mean every file that exist on this planet flawleslyto your ps3 without converting and wait 15 hours.... ?
well you are at the right place at the right time...
I thought id share how HR1888 ''member at ps3forum'' managed to stream everything flawlessly to your PS3 with Tversity Server.
What you need
1. Tversity http://download.tversity.com/Setup_0_9_10_7.exe
2. FFdshow version 802
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm/rev__802__20070120
3. Haali Media Splitter for HD/mkv files http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe
Instructions
1. Install Tversity 0.9.10.7
2. Install FFDshow revision 802 ( uninstall any old versions before installing this )
3. install haali media splitter for hd/mkv files
3. Once you have done all the above, goto your windows firewall and in exceptions allow Mediaserver.exe ( you can find it at C:Program FilesTVersityMedia ServerMediaServer.exe ) You may need to allow Tversity also, if it allready hasnt been added automatically.
Ok now that everythings installed and the firewall is sorted its time to try some streaming.
1. Load up Tversity
2. Goto Start/All Programs/ Tversity Media Server/ Tversity Tools/ Start Tversity Media Server. ( This may be done automatically but I always do it manually to make sure the server side bit is running )
3. Add your folders/Files via the Sharing Tab and The Green + Icon.
4. On the Settings Tab Choose the Transcoder option on the left and setup your connection speed ( wired or wireless ) and screen resolution ( Recommended screen resolution is 1280 x 720 )
5. Scroll to bottom of the page and Save your config you have setup.
6. Do the Search for servers on your PS3 and it should now find Tversity server and from there you all know how to play your videos etc.

better quality if good processor p4 or up:
If you get pass the hard part and have the video transcoding working. With enough CPU power, we can get much better picture quality instead of the default MPEG1 transcoding.
Bring up TVersity and goto the Transcoder tab. Set Optimization for Quality, Connection Speed: Wired or Wireless, Connection Quality: Excellent, Compression: Minimum. Set Max Video resolution to 1280x720 or upto 1920x1080 depends on your video clips native max resolution. And check the Decoding Speed option.
Stop the TVersity sharing. Goto the TVersity program file folder Media Server and find the profile.xml Open it and search for mpeg16 (should be under PS3 section). Change mpeg16 to mpeg2 to use MPEG2 transcoding instead of MPEG1. After modify save the change.
Optional (some say this will further improve the video quality): find the config.xml under TVersity program file folder Media Server. Open it and find the videoCompressionRatio="12", change 12 to a lower value (less compression) such as 5. You may also try to slightly increase the transcoding bitrate by adjust the bitrate="8000000" (default 8Mbps) value. After modify save the change.
Bring up TVersity and start the sharing. Clean all cached file in the General tab Temporary Media Files.
Play the transcoding video file from the PS3 and the video quality should be much improved if your original clip is in high quality.
adding embedded subtitles while streaming on the fly:
1.go to ffdshow in program files and choose VIDEO DECODER CONFIGURATION
2.on the left side you will see subtitles mark it, search the sub file hit apply/ok
3.DONE
NOTE: when using embedded subtitles make sure you use srt files if you have for instance a ssa sub file convert it to srt... to do that hit the link below.. or google for free coverters on the net if you have other sub filetypes that has to be converted to srt...
