PS3 - What media server software does everybody use??

obeyray · 21 Apr 2009 at 18:27

I'd like to stream movies, music, etc from my PS3 to my LCD and have used the winamp player, but didnt really like the interface so I wanted to see what everybody or anybody else uses.

Tversity??, i use that with my xbox360 and it works perfectly well.

This is all you need http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/ PS3 media server is probably the best one ive used.

I use tversity but simply because when i set it up i hadn't heard of PS3 media server which sounds to be superior.

I use WMP 11, I tried tversity but it was far too slow

There was a thread about this here last week, and the week before

General consensus was that PS3 Media Server was easiest to set up and overall best.
TVersity works with Xbox 360 as well though, as well as with many other devices.

I've had good results with the transcoder included with the latest versions of Vuze. Up to trying it, I'd been using TVersity quite successfully, though it was a bit of a princess on occasion!

Twonkymedia on my NAS.

I used to use Windows Media Player, but PS3 Media Server is a million times easier to use and far less hassle to set-up and deal with. It works brilliantly.

Windows Media Player 11.

If you can't get that to work, you're doing it wrong tbh. It's by far and a way the easiest, most integrated solution.

Tversity @ home, i think i'll give this ps3 media server a bash tonight

I used TVersity for around a year. I recently tried PS3 Media Server which in my opinion is far superior to TVersity but only if you want it exclusively for the PS3.

Nero Home Media (or whatever it is called). It's great for no HD content and works with both my 360 and PS3.

It's OK if you use WMP as your default media player anyway, but if not it takes a hell of a lot of fiddling to get it to do what you want; there's so many different steps to go through before it'll actually share everything. PS3 Media Centre accomplished the same thing on its first run, didn't have to change any settings at all.

Besides, I lost my rag with WMP long ago after it persistently added all my music to its library and started adding album artwork etc. Awful bit of software.

There's a lot windows media player 11 doesn't support, and its the main reason I moved to TVersity. I find transcoding is the best way

I use Twonky Media Server. 5 Seconds to setup, and flawless performance wired or wireless. Never had any problems with it.
