SHARING FILES FROM PC TO PS3 VIA NERO MEDIAHOME
So, WMP11 sounds good, right? Its not that perfect however, since you will be only play video and music
files that are supported by PS3, and in some cases not even all of them. And that limits you to MP2 and MP4
(which reported to not work at some cases), so no luck with AVI's.
The only solution here is transcoding, which is basically on-fly recoding of source video/audio to target video/
audio. The best (and only correctly working so far) program for it is Nero MediaHome.
1. Turn your PS3 on and login, and leave it on your XMB
2. Run a file in Nero Showtime to unblock the firewall that pops up and ALLOW.
3. Run Nero MediaHome
4. On the left are a set of Icons.
5. Here's a quick setup:
1. SHARED DIRECTORIES > Click ADD SHARE and browse to a single shared directory for
now, as it takes time to add the details, so don't go adding gazillions of media files for now.
2. 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.
3. NETWORK: Click the box for your Ethernet card on your PC. Leave port number and network
name at default for now
4. DEVICES: Click UPnP/1.0 line and click ALLOW ACCESS box
5. 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 solution after a few seconds.
