I used to have my PS3 set up using the PlayOn media server program, but I haven't set it back up since I got a new laptop. I tried to set it up using the microsoft program that was pre-installed on here, but it sucked. Does anyone use a media server around here? If so, which one do you use? PlayOn worked pretty good, but I figured there is probably a better option out there. If you don't use a media server with your PS3, you should. Check it out.

PlayOn worked pretty well, but since my PS3 is over wifi it doesn't get all of the bandwidth and streaming HD can be a PITA.

I used Windows Media Player when I had the Win 7 Beta. Then Media Tomb for awhile. Now... *shrugs* No need.

Why no need?

That. And it's more of a hassle to find torrents with subtitles. As for music... well, my laptop has a subwoofer speaker set with the connector laying nearby where I usually set it. But to be honest, I prefer listening to music in my car. Windows down... AND THIS BIRD YOU CANNOT CHANNNNGGGEEEEEE

aaaaaand, now it's stuck in my head.  ok, so no one seems to care about the media server function anymore, lol. I was just wanting to know what the best option is. I just want to be able to pull up anything I want if I can't find it on cable, netflix, hulu, vudu, or PSN.  thanks for all the wonderful input guys

Most of my stuff is mkv so I don't really bother. And my computer is quite slow, converting most of it to mp4 would take ages.

Thats why these matter, it uses your computer to process and stream the video to your ps3 so you don't have to convert it. Why no need?
