This article demonstrates how to view content stored on your personal computer through the use of Playstation Media Server on your Playstation 3 without configuring anything through Windows Media Player.The software used was developed using Java and works well and its free.I use this method when I need a break from games or there is nothing good on television.

Steps

  1. Verify that your computer is connected to the internet.
    • Download the application - Java PS3 Media Server.
      • Choose the version that pertains to your operating system.
  2. Install the chosen application to your computer.
  3. Turn the Playstation 3 on and verify that it is connected to the same network that your host computer is connected to. (the computer that you downloaded the software onto)
  4. From the computer, start the application. It should look something like this 
  5. On the main console of the Playstation 3, scroll to video and choose the host computer's name. It should look like this
  6. Next, browse to the directory that contains your media the same way you would if it was on your computer.  (My movie collection is located inside a portable hard drive labeled as F:\ [FreeAgent GoFlex Drive])
  7. Choose a file and enjoy.

Tips

  • You are able to use removable devices to view media. For faster read times, browse to files that are stored locally on the hard drive.
  • The PS3 Media Server acts as an extension of your computer.
  • Wired networks are preferred over wireless (from my experience) to reduce buffering.

Warnings

  • The computer may go into standby mode when not in use. It is in your best interest to turn off this feature through the control panel of your computer.
