Using Mac as media source for PS3

[Turkish]

Anyone doing this? Looking to set my mac/ps3 up so I can run media content on my mac HDD through my PS3. If so do I need to install YDL or similar or anything on the mac to get the two to work together?

Hi, try nullrivers "medialink" I think it works like connect 360 for the Xbox.

On your Mac enable File Sharing and Web Sharing and then access the supplied web address on the PS3 browser and you can stream media or copy it to the PS3 from there. No need for Medialink etc. All you need do is copy media into the Sites folder on the Mac.

I use medialink. Very good and easy to use

PS3 looks for a DLNA server.

Try TwonkyMedia for Mac.

I take it this means you have to control what content you are viewing/listening to via the mac? If so I was hoping for something that could control the desktop or at very least itunes from the PS3 remotely. This will save me the expense and hassle of buying a 300GB HDD for the PS3 and ripping my entire music collection again. The mac will be in my Bedroom and the PS3 in the lounge with my tv and surround sound gear.

No you browse the Mac 'Site' folder from the PS3 and copy or play what media you want. Not an ideal solution for iTunes playback though, mainly used by me for films etc
