PS3 Media Server

Are you sick of USB'ing your media to and from your PS3? Then keep reading because I am going to show you how to setup a media server on your computer so you can either stream or copy media over your network (wireless or wired. the ps3 just needs to be connected)



1. Download the right version for your operating system: http://tinyurl.com/64nuqc4

2.
- For windows double click the .EXE file and follow the install instructions.

- For mac Double click the .DMG and follow the prompts

- For Ubuntu (linux) extract the .tgz and put the resulting folder in your home directory. Now you can double click the PMS.sh file within that folder to run it.

If you'd like to have PMS startup when you log into ubuntu, you can simply add the PMS.sh script with the full path to System -->Preferences --> Startup Applications -->Add


For PMS to work correctly under Ubuntu you will also need to install all of the following. To check if you have them installed go to "transcoding Settings" in PMS. They can all be found and installed from the Ubuntu software center.

3. Now go to "Navigation/Share Settings" and down the bottom where it says shared folders, add a new folder by clicking the following button:

4. After that, click the save button at the top of the PMS window.

5. Now turn on your PS3 and it should show up in your PMS window and the PS3 media server icon should show up on your ps3. If it doesnt, go to Movies (or music or photos) on your ps3 and click search for media server. 

6. If its still not showing up make sure media server connection is enabled on your ps3 under settings --> network settings --> media server connection.
