its the crappiest addon I’ve seen around. Sorry about it but all it does is show the ps3 media server screen inside the whs connector. It does not even scale correctly or make use of anything of the api’s ( i assume ) except those which are needed to get an addin running.

I had it crashing for a 3th or 4th time now and it realy start to be irritating.

I have the same bug… you can run it from the client WHS console. However it will minimize the console with in the console window and I have no idea how to get the console back other then to turn off the PS3 Medai server.

it works awesome as a transcoder for the ps3 but i still need the console to work HELP!!!

Of course there are several different applications stream content to your PS3 or other DLNA device. There just isn’t one that’s easier to install, configure and use as PS3mediaServer.

If I install a DVB-S Card for UK FreesatHD in WHS – will this allow me to stream live H.264 transmission (the format of Freesat HD I believe) from WHS to the TV via PS3? I believe PowerPack3 for WHS support H.264 but have not yet used WHS

WOW! Thanks so much for this. So easy to use and requires no real knowledge. Installed it, ran it and it found the PS3 and my shared files. all i had to do is search for media servers on the PS3 and et voilá it all worked.

Got to reccomend this program to everyone i know with a ps3 and pc.

Thanks once again!

Joe,

Your PS3 can only handle a limited number of video codecs. For example one of it’s main limitation in my opinion is the inability to play HD content encoded with H.264 , like the .MKV containers.
