OK so, the PS3 has DLNA capability, and this is great! Set Windows Media player to share out, add everything to your library, and you’re set…right?
Wrong.
DLNA doesn’t really stream every format (MKV anyone?) and it has issues with large libraries of MP3s, which are becoming quite common these days. It also doesn’t support Internet content like youtube videos, or hulu.com.
There are a few things you can run on your server that can help with this issue.
The first is tversity. This amazing product allows for podcasting, vidcasting, live transcoding, and support for big libraries and custom folder interface on your PS3. This product runs on windows, and streams to any device, invluding your cell phone, any web browser device, your Wii, your PS3, and on and on. You can use it to stream out to the Internet, too, getting full access to your entire media library from anywhere in the world.
The second product is a new one, right out of beta, which supports Hulu, CBS, ESPN, Netflix online streaming, and Youtube. This one is great, and I’m really excited to see it. It will cost you $30, and is worth every penny. It is called PlayOn, head on over to MediaMall’s site and check it out!
Update : check out Krynsky’s post, which is everything mine should have been!
