How to Configure TVersity for the PS3

The PlayStation 3 can be used for more than just gaming.

TVersity Media Server is software that allows a computer to stream video to popular video game consoles, such as the PlayStation 3 (PS3), Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. In order to accomplish this, TVersity will encode the video on your personal computer into a format capable of being viewed on your gaming console. On the PS3, it is possible to stream media directly to the hard drive.

Instructions

1. Download TVersity Media Server from the TVersity website.

2. Double-click the downloaded file to begin the installation process. The installation process will create a "TVersity" icon on your desktop.

3. Open the TVersity software and select "Library" from the top menu. Select the "Source" option and choose whether you want to stream from a single video file, or a folder that contains multiple video files.

4. Click the "Add Item" button, then select "Browse" to locate the file or folder you wish to stream.

5. Select "Settings" from the top menu, and choose "Sony PlayStation 3," which is listed under "Media Playback Devices."

6. Click the "Start Sharing" button located in the "Media Sharing" menu to begin streaming the video. Click "Save" if you wish to save these settings for future videos.

7. Turn on your PS3 and navigate to the "Video" section. Select the "Search Media Servers" option and wait approximately one minute for the search to complete.

8. Select the TVersity server by highlighting it and pressing "X" on the PS3 controller.

9. Scroll down to the blue TVersity folder and open it by pressing "X" on the PS3 controller. Select a video to watch and start it by pressing "X" again.
