PS3 Firmware 1.80 Announced (PS1, PS2 and DVD Upscaling, DNLA streaming, more)

how can i do this?

My ps3 and computer are a room apart.

 

Your PS3 should be on the same "network" as your pc.....that is...if you have high speed internet.

 

The WMP thing works great

 

It does but I don't like how there are 10 ways to organize your files. It makes the path to get to the file you want muddled.

 

it took an afternoon of screwing around on the computer but I got it working... and its awesome. Ive only tried music, but if video works as well that does, than this is going to completely change the way I view my downloaded treasures from the web.

also, upconverting = teh awesome

 

dude you are going to be disappointed. Most of your videos will not play because WMP11 will not change the format of the files and the ps3 can't play many different file types.

I'm trying to get Nero MediaHome to work right. In terms of structure, it is much better than tversity and WMP11. The interface is simple. Just add folders. Those folder names are also listed when you open the server from the PS3 which I think is better than just organizing by artist or song title.

As far as the video...well I'm still working on it. Most people don't seem to have the problems I do. All of the video files are listed normally, with no "unsupported media" note. However, when I try to play a video file, the PS3 says that its request was rejected by the server. Can't be a firewall issue because I can play music. The divx files don't take long to be rejected but the avis take about 10 seconds of waiting before I get the rejection.

I'll keep up the updates. At this point, I think it's an issue with my router.

 

Nero has had PS3 access for months via the PS3 web browser. But its not the same.

 

ok, I've got the update, and the upscaling of DVDs works great.

However, now I can't play blu-ray discs(!). It says 'no signal' (I have two different discs that both worked before the 1.8 update, and neither will play now )

Any suggestions? I don't see many options to change.

 

THat sounds like an odd problem. Did you already try turning it off and then back on?

 

RC,
Which media server thing for my PC should i download? On that forum i see WMP11, TVVersity, and Tonky Vision

thanks

 

you already have WMP on your computer so go ahead and try and see if you like it. It's the most convenient because it is always on. You have to open programs and start servers with anything else. After giving up on video encoding, I settled on WMP.

 

Do any support AAC or do i have to use a converter?

This fixed it - I had to disable the 24 Hz (frames / sec) setting under display settings. Hooray for me.

 

It upconverts youtube!

 

I played around with upscaling today to see if I would have the same problem you had. Everything seemed to work just fine. The DVDs looked great, and BR played without any settings changes.

Streaming from my computer to my PS3 and then getting the content on my PSP via remote play works great too.

Now I wonder if we will be able to stream to "Home". I think the open beta is only a month away.

 

Converted movies using ps3video converter. WMP wouldnt let me even add it to the video list since the player does not support the format, so I cannot get my ps3 to recognize them ultimately. also, the scanning folders thing is really really lame. Instead of just adding the folders manually, they scan the folder for files. This has not detected multiple music files that are simple mp3s.

I will try some of the real time transcoding stuff and report back to the thread.

 

FYI : just nitpicking, and no big deal, but, that's not the AVS Forum forum....

 

Hey guys, I need an honest answer.

I have an X-Box 360, is there any reason to get the PS3 also other than Blu Ray?

Thanks,

DD
