How to Create a Media Server for PS3?

Install media sharing software. Very good and reliable program. Just install it, share needed media and enjoy

1. High usage media server performance question Backup solution

firstly I want to thank you for such a detailed and well-written question, I only wish that 10% of the questions we got here were as cleanly thought out and explained.The first thing to point out is that I do not think you should be thinking of moving to a 54xx-series Xeon - they are not only very old and inefficient (both in terms of capability but also watts/heat) but they've been replaced - TWICE. There was a simply huge jump in performance between the 54xx-series and the 55xx ('Nehelam') CPUs, especially for the general web server usage you appear to have. The second thing to point out is DON'T USE RAID 0, ever, especially with large, probably consumer-grade (such as option 3's 'green' disks), SATA disks - it will impact your system availability enormously. Always use a higher RAID level, even the much-hated R5 if you have to over R0 ok. So that's option 2 out.Now obviously you are happy with 100tb.com, I was not aware of them but they seem fine and if you are happy then you are doing well. You do not mention whether you NEED the uptime capability that two servers gives you or whether it's a WANT/LIKE. The reason I ask is that 100tb.com offer a 55xx-series Xeon-based solution that will not only outperform your current pair of 3220's but by some margin. If you could get one of those with the storage you like (if you can try to get RAID 10 - it will perform and be safer) then I think you would be happy.

2. Can anyone tell me how to set up a media server conection from my plystation to my computer?

I am wondering the same exact thing... I wish I could help you, but Im going to keep an eye on your thread. Thanks for posting a question I was in need of an answer to as well

3. I want to use my computer as a media server for my ps3?

Download TVersity, its a free program. load all your media files into tversty, fire up your PS3 online, go to the music section on your XMB, click on the TVersity logo. there's your files

4. digital dvd,media server,external hardrive, questions.?

Another thing to look into might be the popcorn hour ad-110 or the hdx 1000. You can install a hard drive in them and run it completely off that or you can stream your files from another computer. If you do some research on these you will find they each have their pros and cons but are both made in the same factory and essentially do the same thing. They are also pretty customizable if you want to get into the guts of the system and want to mess around with the code and skins etc. You can also hook this up to a home server and stream all of your files off of that computer to get the experience you want.

5. How do you create a media server on your laptop so that ps3 can find it?

however if you want to stream Itunes content then you are out of luck

6. how can i make my old acer laptop into a media server?

acer computers are one of the worst computers made, I would not suggest to anyone to get an acer, unless they are short on funds. You need a much better computer to be a media server

7. Choosing hardware for Flash Media Server

What sort of network connection are you planning to have? the reason I ask is that we stream at around 6Mbps, a thousand unicast users at that speed is around 6Gbps - your server will keep up but will your switches/load-balancers/firewalls/routers?As for a server, well for consistent 6Gbps of traffic (plus the ingress and transcoding work) you should really use a 'proper' server, i.e. not a desktop PC pretending to be a server, with at least 4 recent Xeon or Opteron cores, 6-12GB memory, a 64-bit OS, a pair of hardware-mirrored fairly standard boot/app disks and a pair of 10GB NICs (it's much harder to consistently feed multiple 1GB NICs). Then your choice of OS based on your available skills base.
