As a follow-up to our impressions on the latest PS3 firmware update, here’s some terrific instructions on how to stream and transcode your files to play on your PS3, provided by our good friends over at Gameswank.
You’re going to need a copy of Nero 7 fully installed (not just the Burning Rom portion). Follow these directions and you’ll be on your way…
- Turn your PS3 on and login, and leave it on your XMB
- Run a file in Nero Showtime to unblock the firewall that pops up and ALLOW.
- Run Nero MediaHome
- On the left are a set of Icons. Heres a quick setup:
- SHARED DIRECTORIES > Click ADD SHARE and browse to a single shared directory for now, as it takes time to add the details, so dont go adding gazillions of media files for now.
- OPTIONS: I left them at default for now, but they are self explanatory. Automatically start media home when pc is switched on is a good one to tick up, but leave it off for now till you get it going.
- NETWORK: Click the box for your ethernet card on your PC. Leave port number and network name at default for now
- DEVICES: Click UPnP/1.0 line and click ALLOW ACCESS box
- TRANSCODING: Leave on auto detect as it will talk to the ps3 and see what it can and cant play and come up with a solutionafter a few seconds.
- TV: Set up your tv card here
- STATUS: Click this ICON and you will be able to see whats going on
- then click START SERVER at the bottom, and you wait a few moments. Go back to PS3 and it should show the Nero Media Home Icon. Browse as normal for your video files.
- At first if you have loads of files in your shared directories it can casue the ps3 playback to come back out to the XMB. Just give Media Home some time to update the directory listings, then it will be silky smooth.
some tips:
Only add one or two files max into a folder, as nero can take a while to index large amounts of files. You can also turn off the server and go to TOOLS – NERO SCOUT – INDEXING – FOLDERS and select the folders you want there. Then go back to the INDEXING tab and click INDEX NOW – this may take a while to do, if you have huge mounts of files, so as before just to get it working. When its done go to SHARED DIRECTORIES ICON in nero media home and select SHARE ALL CONTENT INDEXED BY NERO SCOUT
this doesnt work in any way shape or form…bill gates needs to be raped by a prison thug
I agree it does not work. I doubt Gates is even aware of this so prison thugs are not going to make it work.
This sucks. If prison thugs wont work, then a mob a fat sweaty men on scooters need to rape Gates, is that good enough.
