oh, and of course not only does it convert but it seamlessly streams the content to your ps3.

btw, I have:
- p9400(?) quad core processor
-6gb RAM
-100MB wlan connection
-the network isn’t shared with any other devices (my other desktop is off 99% of the time)

Simply amazing media server software. period.

It combines all those other programs to convert virtually any video/audio you might have into a format that the PS3 plays.

I have spent the last few days trying to use Orb and TVesrsity…and programs like mkv2vob, all types of converters and media splitter software and reformatting file systems..

Ps3 media server does everything for you flawlessly most of the time.

its god-sent- simply amazing…I forgot the last time i used a product and it worked so well and fit my needs so perfectly. I will donate because if i found this in a store I would easily pay $50+ for it.

PS3 Media Server is awesome. I’ve avoided freebie solutions before because they’ve always needed some tweaking or yet more third party/open source add-ons to make them work. But this thing, you just install and run. It’s all self contained, no need for extra codecs etc.

Heck it even searches for your PS3 on the network if the PS3 is powered up and establishes the link.

And the real kicker? It will stream movies in MKV containers! Wahoo! Try it and you’ll never want to go back to Tversity or any other solution.

This will also stream web content to the PS3, such as Flickr albums and even internet radio and TV stations.

It does what it claims to with no misleading expectations.

Ya lets screw around for 18 hours to run the newest video card instead of playing a game or getting something done By all means everyone just stop doing anything and find out why your linsux doesn’t have a driver for the latest gaming mouse or simply a keyboard. Then you can go complain about it on the Logitech boards all day. Ah windows is here get over it.

lol, fuck M$, i use only linux on my non gaming machines. Ubuntu 8.1 is great even for noobs, and i personally think it’s better than windoze.

Please don’t take it as elitism, and all that bollocks, pc’s are brilliant, they’re designed to be played around with, open source if you will.

Learn some shit in the process, get a barebones pc together using shit, giggles, odds and ends, you’ll be amazed at the performance afforded by a lowend crapbox running a linux variance, secure as hell aswell.

On the cable front aswell, if you’re running network cable thru your house, just remember cat6a will give you up to just over 20gigabit per second, as a data network cable, and also for hdmi aswell. Data and media rooms, cat 6a kicks ass.

Peace.

this is goo but the best media server for the ps3 is the new windows media center that comes with windows 7.
Organzies it all for you and with the new media center it even supports the codecs needed finally a all in one application

I’m using TwonkyMedia at the moment, no probs with that apart from having to remux .mkv with “mkv2vob”.

I will try this but I will have to upgrade my server to do trancoding (1ghz p3 lol, but works fine at the moment)
