Is it that I need more bandwith, or is DLNA a bad protocol, or is the implementation of those servers buggy or incompatible with the PS3? I'm not sure what is the problem with DLNA. I found using the inode watching configuration to be quite a resource hog and very buggy. I configured it with an initial scan, followed up with scheduled scans. While i agree that media tomb is a pretty well, unfriendly piece of software it does work. That said i've been running a 1Gbs link between my linux box (Ubuntu 11.04 amd64). I've been using mediatomb for a long while now and the only problem i've had is a lack of time in setting up mkv transcoding. I agree with the comment about ruling out the network situation. I'm 99.9% sure it's not a problem with the network connection.I'm using PMS right now, and the transcode buffer is always full at 400MB, with bitrates around 1 - 2 Mb/s. Guess what? The problem persists, video playback pauses every 10 or 15 seconds for one second. UPDATE 2: It's been some time since I posted this question, but I've finally managed to connect my PS3 to my computer by means of a real Ethernet cable. UPDATE: Important thing I forgot to mention - if I replace the PS3 with my work Laptop (Windows XP SP3) and mount the video share over the same Devolo Ethernet connection using samba, then video playback works flawlessly. Possible to tunnel USB devices other Ethernet using IP, but I haven'tĬurrently I'm using an USB stick for media playback, but this solution feels somewhat clumsy! ![]() Methods to connect devices remotely to my PS3?

I know that DLNA would be the way to go, I've tried several DLNA servers for Linux (fuppes, mediatomb, minidlna, xbmc). I can connect the PS3 to my home network using either WLAN at 54Mbps, or using a 100MBit LAN, which is tunneled over power sockets using a pair of Devolo powerline adapters, operating at a speed of about 4 MB/s. I have a Linux system (Debian testing) with some video files I would like to play on my Playstation 3 (an original, unmodified PS3).
