Streaming media PS3 via XP

I thought I would share with your guys the method I am using to stream music, photos and videos to the PS3 using Windows XP.ps3menu1.jpg

You can share media in Windows XP using the library function in Windows Media Player (formerly Windows Media Connect).

To set it up

  1. Go to tools - options - library - configure sharing, click the check box to share your media.
  2. Search for a Media Server on the PS3 and it should pop up in windows as an Unknown Device, select to allow it.
  3. To select folders you would like to share click on [Monitor Folders…]

If you are having trouble trying to get it to work check that your firewall is not blocking anything*

Have fun media sharing!
