It could be on one of my local drives, a video device like a tv tuner card or even the internet but for purpose of this discussion we can say it's a single video stored on a local hdd. I would like the PC in the 3rd room to play the same video as that being played by the PS3 in the second room without starting a second streaming session.įirst I'd like to say that the source of the video is not important. Imagine a PC (the server) in one room, A PS3 connected to a TV in a second room and another PC connected to a television in a 3rd room. I'm no expert on the subject so It's hard to explain my objective more than this without making some technical misspeak but I'll give it a go. However you need to clarify exactly what it is you are trying to achieve. It may be able to use it's built-in browser, if the server presents the video in a browser friendly way. It is not designed to read streams in this way. VLC can broadcast a stream, as can Star Media Center, however I don't know if the PS3 can see these streams. However you can address TVersity through the PS3 as a DNLA client, and through the browser of a PC using flash. The only way to limit it to a single video would be to limit the playlist that TVersity offers.
However what is broadcast is client driven. If you have enough bandwidth (perhaps multiple nics on the server) and fast enough storage and CPU, you could stream to multiple clients with TVersity or PS3 media server. Most media servers are design to present and index of videos, and to stream based on client requests. a single video comes from the source PC, and clients, be they a PS3 or other PCs on the network can hook into the stream and watch it, but the clients do not have a choice over what is broadcast, and cannot initiate their own streams. So you are looking for a push, or broadcast solution. Maybe you know of a different program (preferably free) that will do what I want. What I'd like to know is being pretty green at this, did I miss a setting in one of these apps that would allow me to stream the same encoded video to both a second PC and PS3 at the same time. Within their limitations they are all pretty decent tools and I had good success trying these out. I'm not so much looking to discuss the pluses and minuses of these various tools or their encoding or lack of encoding capabilities those things are pretty apparent once you try them. There might even be a few more that I've forgotten I've tried PS3 Media Server, TVersity, VLC, SerViio, Windows Media Encoder (9) (including 2 Windows Media Encoder front ends U-Broadcast and Star Media Center), WMP11, ORB and Nero MediaHome. Some programs seem designed for PC to PC streaming while others are very good at PC to PS3 streaming. Lately I've been using various programs to test streaming sd video located on a PC to my PS3 and at times separately to a second PC.
