    Default WTF? How do I enable media streaming from Windows 7 to my PS3? tried mad shit...

    I added a homegroup and turned on network discovery and file sharing

    Went to WMP and "Allowed access to my media to all devices"




    at first i was gettin the error message when i click my PC icon on my PS3 but now it just dosent show up at all (under music/videos/pictures)

    i forget exactly what i did.. changed a lot of security permissions, disabled the firewall and some other shit


    I'll have to check out that project BRONZE posted. Looks like you put it on a thumb drive?
    i just put in on my local drive and it works

    the PS3 detects 'PS3 media server' and all the files are under there

    The PS3 doesn't seem to like streaming music because it doesn't read mine either

    lol so i just turned on my ps3 to stream music from my laptop and I noticed my laptop is now showing up on my ps3 under available media servers

    so it sees my pc directly like i was trying to get it to do and it sees the 'PS3 Media Server' too

    lol

    so i guess i did change all the right setting after all

    I've been doing this for a minute......

    There's a lot of factors you have to consider:

    Your Wireless Router/speeds/features


    The Codecs/file type of the movie
    http://www.ps3-hacks.com/forums/about4283.html

    The program your using to stream

    -----------------------


    Out the gate you should put your ps3 to a static IP, in the DMZ for your router. Google that shit bitch what do I look like?

    get yourself a decent router, and update the firmware on that motherfucker. Doesn't nessicarily have to be an expensive one. Some older routers work good, just check the speeds it can handle.

    Linksys WRT54G worked for me until lightening struck, now i'm running an e 3000 with a built in media server. the built in media was garbage, idk if they fixed the bugs i haven't checked for updates for a minute....

    use this if you have problems with windows media player server I recommend:

    and use this if your NINJA (Mac or Linux) like me:

    Good Luck!

    at any time in my house.....

    The wife is watching a movie on the ps3, I'm watching one on my laptop, and the kids are watching one on the Computer. We don't pay for satellite or cable anymore.

    We can have any amount of streaming content going on in our home network no problems. Usually, one person is at least watching Netflix..... You can get it working nice with a little patience and trouble shooting.
