So I've been playing around for awhile trying to get a new media server working. Previously I was using a modified xbox to stream media across the network. The problem is, the XBMC isnt too fond of certain file types and resolutions.

So I decided to attempt an upgrade after running across a really good deal on a ps3. I'd been searching on and off for awhile for the backwards compatible version and when I found it for cheap on ebay, I had to snag it.

First I tried TVersity, but ran into an issue with the PS3 and the media center not being recognized all the time or randomly disconnecting. For some reason when the PS3 would attempt to connect, it would reset the router and mess with the network. So I tried setting up static IPs, DMZ, etc etc. Then I read about this relatively small PS3 Media Server application. I've had no issues with recognition on either end and it seems to stream video and audio just fine across the network.

Now its time to move the xbox into the bedroom...
