My PS3 can see my PC, but refuses point blank to run anything.

Wouldn't you have to authorise it on the PC end, or have you already done that?

[Bleeders]

I done that, it can see the media, just won't run anything.

first time posting from my ps3! my black levels are better with full turned off now
my ps3 can see my pc but takes ages to load anything.
I enabled nothing for it to work

[Jebus]

...and you've enabled it from within your router too?

PS1 games? I have noticed a vast improvement myself. Titles were extremely blocky before on my 50", now they look crispy kreme, I mean clear.

Sorry, I should have said I'm testing PS2 only.

And again, as Andrew pointed out the degree of difference you'll see depends on the scaler in your set and how good it is so I don't doubt you're seeing an improvement of sorts. I'm using the Toshiba 32Wlt68 (similar set to Andrew) which is notoriously good on that front so results will differ.

That photo of Colossus on NeoGAF is more than a little misleading. For one thing they image has been resized meaning you loose a tonne of fine detail and it's therefore not representative of what you'd see on screen.

Sounding like a stuck record here but as Andrew has pointed out, it does nothing to reduce the aliasing. You can make stills look better and yes there is a little bit more crispness to the image, but once it starts moving things can get messy.

I've tried to capture photo's of what I'm seeing, but it's difficult as my camera is pap. Imageshack also resized the image to fit your browser so click them for the full effect.

Anyway, here's SotC (could only get one decent shot sorry, the rest were blurred).



Check out the pillars and around the main character. Now imagine that moving

By far the better test was GoW II.

Start screen



Close up of Kratos' face



In game



Notice the mountain and pillars are really jagged.

Close-up of the chest



Again, imagine all that moving around and you get an idea of how bad it looks.

Yeah, router is forwarding the correct IP and is exempt from the firewall list too.

I'll have another crack at it tonight, sure there's some all singing, all dancing solution soon to run all types of media.

I don't know anyone that's been able to get video streaming working. It comes up as "unsupported data" for everything, even videos I know the PS3 will play. (they work if I chuck them on a memory card)

Music and Pictures work fine, but it's very slow to navigate/load, especially compared to the 360.

Thank god it lets me browse my music by filename/directory by simply going to Music->Folders. MS take note.

Andrew, i don't suppose you'd know whether using my WLT68 i should have it set to Limited or Full, without me having to run the test?
Thanks

[andrewfee]

Seems like it should be limited for the WLT68, as the expect Video levels over HDMI. (As they should)

[dvdmike]

my mpeg 2 stuff streams but it only plays music i imported with wmp11 not the other 90 gig

[sj33]

On Vista at least, my PC detected my PS3 when I turned it on, and it set up itself. It only shared folders set up in WMP though, which is no problem.

[Jebus]

Same here but my PS3 can't contact the PC.

"Access to the media server is not allowed. It is possible that the system name for this PS3 system "PS3-259" has not been registered. Check the settings for the media server".

Any ideas? I allowed it already as well

[sj33]

I got that until I turned the PS3 off then turned it back on, worked fine then.
