Hopefully some of you can help me out...
I've been trying to find a solution for the past couple of days.
I have my PC and PS3 connected wirelessly from my router. I want to know if it's possible to use a crossover cable from the PC to the PS3 to share media (PC->PS3). I have HD content on my PC and the bandwidth is to great to stream them. Am i able to plug in the cable and use tversity to share media PC -> PS3? Would I still be able to keep my PS3 connected wirelessly or would I need to bridge the connection on the PC so that the PS3 receives the net from the PC? I could run both wired to the router, but the PC and PS3 are a lot closer together than the router.
so many questions lol
It is actually very simple. Connect your PC to your router (wired or wirelessly), install Tversity, then all you have to do is leave the PS3 connected wirelessly. I stream HD content all the time.
There are settings in the Tversity menus to optimize content for on the fly conversion to PS3 friendly formats. From the PS3 dash, you can tell it to "search for media servers", and it will browse the folders on your PS3 as if they were native to the unit.
Don't forget, you can always use thumbdrives and portable HDDs. I think you can get a 32GB thumbdrive for about 50-80 bucks now.
The only thing I had to get used to was the syncing of the library. If you drop a bunch of new stuff into Tversity or point it to a new folder, don't forget to tell it to refresh the library. It may take a bit, the files will eventually be browseable from your $ony.
ok after reading all that right i have a different problem the ps3 has coe up with my computer as a media server and tells me the files are their but wont play them will that program help me as well??
Fo sho, mang. TVersity does have its bugs, and I have had to tweak the on-the-fly conversion settings a bit, but it works. If all else fails, you can use one of the handy proggies here on Afterdawn to convert the format to a more friendly file type. I had a bit of trouble with some video formats, but upgrades and tweaks ironed it out.
TVersity can be cumbersome, mind you, but it is worth getting it all dialed in. I am sure there are many people with other solutions, but this one definately works for me.
