Using the PS3 as media server to watch movies on TV

Asked By Gregory B Kleiman 0 points N/A Posted on - 01/04/2015

I have just bought a PS3. Besides being a good bluray player, i heard that you can connect the PS3 on a LAN and access files on your computer. Can anyone walk me through this process? Is there a specific programme that i need or is it as simple as sharing an Ethernet cable?

Using the PS3 as media server to watch movies on TV

You need to install a program in your computer to share your files with your PlayStation or with your Smart TV.

I highly recommend a program called Universal Media Server to share contents in your computer like music, photos and videos with another device.

You can download this program here and install in your computer.

This is a freeware and is very simple to use. I recommend you use cable connection between router and your devices to improve your speed, but works fine with wireless too.

Regards,

Anthony John
