#Ps3 media server forums ps3#
there are a few peripherals for media use on the PS3 (Remote, Mouse and keyboard, Microphone and so on), but the PS3 Dualshock Controller can fill the same purpose as the remote, making the remote seem like an unnecessary accessory. You can loosely customise it with Themes and wallpapers, but most themes cost money and aren't really worth it.Īs for remote controls. You won't take too long getting familiar with the layout, but it won't wow you or anything. I'm not sure about the others, but I don't recall having much luck with Divx. it can also play MKV but it can be a fickle affair. It's not particularly streamlined though, so don't expect to plug it in and get it going without a little effort. You will still need a media server set up to do this, but there are plenty of guides out there to help you. It can operate as a media HUB and, in fact, in Japan it is marketed as one too (over here it is marketed almost exclusively as a games console). Many thanks in advance.Ĭlick to expand.Yes it can play things over a network (Videos, Images, Music). I must admit, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted by a handful of the exclusive games on it too, but I'm most interested in it's video/music capabilities so would be grateful for any and all advice, tips, tricks, anecdotes and answers about such. I have a 360 but frankly it's no good for media unless you have netflix or some such. Any other interesting features? Can it play Youtube videos, iPlayer, 4oD, etc? Would you recommend the old PS3? I ask because I'm given to understand they have backwards compatability with PS2/PS games.

I'm fairly sure on this, but I could play a Blu Ray movie on it right? And they don't have regions like DVDs do, do they? I've never used a blu ray disc before. Does the PS3 have a nice UI? Remote control? Is it quick? Can the remote turn it on from off/stand by? What formats can it play? AVI, MP4, DivX, XVid, MOV, MKV, MPG, WMV, etc?

Can the PS3 play things over a network? Can it use Windows (SMB) shares, with/without a username/password?
I mostly use it to play XVids and DivXs, stored on a network share and played directly from there. It does an admirable job but isn't able to handle HD and has no online capabilities of which to speak. I've been using an old XBox, modded, for many, many years as a media centre running XBMC. I've tried searching for answers but my Google-Fu isn't up to the task. With the announcement of the PS4, its predecessor is bound to drop in price and I'm interested to learn about its media capabilities from owners. I had some questions about the PS3 I was hoping owners could enlighten me on. * Display camera RAWs thumbnails (Canon / Nikon, etc.I wasn't sure in which forum this topic belonged as while it's about a games console, it's not about games. * All formats PS3 natively supports: MP3/JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF, all kind of videos (AVI, MP4, TS, M2TS, MPEG) the ps3 is willing to play * You can choose with a virtual folder system your audio/subtitle language on the PS3! * DVD ISOs images / VIDEO_TS Folder transcoder * Real-time video transcoding via MEncoder All your folders are directly browsed by the PS3, there's an automatic refresh also. No folder configuration and pre-parsing or this kind of annoying thing.
It's backed up with the powerful Mplayer/FFmpeg packages. PS3 Media Server is a DLNA compliant Upnp Media Server for the PS3, written in Java, with the purpose of streaming or transcoding any kind of media files, with minimum configuration.
