Stream media from your PC to your PSP via PS3

Sony PlayStation 3 - Image 1 


The current generation of consoles are powerful machines and carry a lot of features so sometimes it's a little hard to keep track of what they can do. Here's one feature a lot of you may not have been aware of but may find useful: stream media to your PSP from your PC via PS3.

To do this you'll need to connect your PC to a PlayStation 3 console to act as the bridge. Using the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), your PS3 can connect to your PC and share media. Then with Remote Play, you can stream the media to your PSP.

First off, you'll need to connect the PS3 to your PC's home network (you can use an Ethernet cable for this if your connection isn't wireless). Here are the instructions from Sony's Eric Lempel on how to connect it:
  • On your PC, enable “Media Sharing” on Windows Media Player 11 and allow sharing with the PS3 (it may be labeled as an “unknown device”).
  • On your PS3, turn on “Media Server Connection” under Network Settings. PS3 will automatically search for media servers on the same home network, or you can scan for them manually.
  • Your PC and media files will pop up under the Photo/Music/Video XMB icons.
After that you just need to stream your files to your PSP from your PS3 via Wi-Fi. Note that you'll need at least PS3 FW 1.80 for this, but of course FW 2.10 would be the better choice for media playing because of the new DivX support.

I've been doing this ever since i got my PSP and i love it. I can go to a friends house or wherever theres wifi and watch my tv shows or movies. This needs to be advertised MORE.

 » Yes...
This feature is one original idea for sony that anyone with a PSP will love it... they need to take an advantage of the remote play feature and encourage the developers to use this feature too like lair...

 » Absolutely
Agreed. They really need to advertise the whole remote play feature as a whole and what it can do. I'm sure there is a lot of people out there who own either system and a feature like this could be just the incentive they need to buy the other.

What would be really nice is to bypass the PS3 completely and use a homebrew UPnP AV Client to connect to any UPnP AV Server on your network.

Hi guys,
Ever heard of using pmpvlc (psp) in combination with VLC media player (PC). You can stream everything to your psp, video, audio, photo's. Even live tv (you need a tv-card for that!). Also live internetstreams are no problem. Directly from your pc to your psp (wifi). You only need a psp with a customized firmware ;-)

The problem with pmpvlc is that you can't see a list of videos and choose from the PSP, you need to select from the PC what to stream.
