(COUGH round about the time Lost season 5 starts and im skyless COUGH) but how do i go about doing it.. I have a laptop with wirelessBT home hub wirelessPS3Samsung HD tele with wiselink, HDMI and scart Is it possible to get the laptop to stream video or send data to the PS3 via the hub or just straight through? Or could i transfer an AVI file from the laptop to the PS3 using a USB stick drive and play a AVI thru the PS3? or could i use the monitor out on the laptop? Laptop has a 15 pin female plug at the back (VGA out?) could i get a lead to go from the latop to the tele? Ideally i wanna stream..if its possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchkev Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 iirc streaming isnt possible with the ps3, you can with xbox via xbox media center, you can put your laptopt to the TV if your TV had VGA input on the back, even if your laptop has s-vid out, you can get s-vid and audio l/r to scart and put that through the TV...........if you get me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally i wanna stream..if its possible well when i was setting up my xbox media center i just set up a partition on my comp and shared it over the network and it automatically picked it up on the xbox. i would think it was as easy as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchkev Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 didnt think the ps3 had file sharing? let alone a media center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) right yes, you can use your pc/laptop to fileshare over a network to a ps3 yes you can do it through a router yes it does stream, on the ps3 under videos music and photos section etc, if you have media centre sharing setup properly you will see your pc/laptop listed click on the pc/laptop listed on the ps3, then you can broser through the folders, that you have set your pc/laptop to share to be honest, windows media centre is crap for sharing, use Tv versity, much much better, and a hassle free setup hope this helps Edited January 12, 2009 by mykez69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
