When it streams to the PS3 it is still lagging im gussin the internet connection isnt able to cope so i was wondering if there was an easier way ? wired maybe ? Thanks all
Answer #1
just copy movie to usb device and copy to the ps3 or watch from the usb device if you want to play mkv video you will have to mux them to mp4 witch is quick and easy http://www.server-servers.com/convert-mkv-to-mp4-for-xbox-360-and-ps3-media-server/
this dose not convert the video just remux it
Answer #2
I understand what your saying but i have over 400 movies and this is why i came up with the server idea everything stored on there and just stream it to the PS3 it can be done i just need quicker speeds between the server and the PS3 although thanks for the help

are you streaming using Ethernet cable and what type of video are you playing eg 1920×1080 bigger the rez can affect video playback if you doing it this way what speed is your ethernet pci card?

Im using a Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E GBE NIC within the server then using a ethernet cable to a wall bridge to connect to the router using an ethernet cable which is down stairs im then using the wireless within the PS3 to stream from the server using vuze. any more detail please ask
Thanks

Do you have Gigabit ethernet cable? , and what is the cable length?
Well, I have faced this problem in my home network, then my problem sorted out by installing this cable. You’ll get above 80MB/s on full duplex speed.
I have 1 PC attached to 6 PC via switch and I get above 80MB/s speed, It’s good for all the things.

Well for a start, if you already have the movies, it has nothing to do with your internet connection, next, try minimising interferance between the server and the PS3, if it is possible, wire it using an ethernet cable, seen as you said, your PS3 is upstairs, that is your problem, the only other thing I could suggest is that you get a better router.
Answer #8
Thanks all for the advice im going to try using the gigabit ethernet cable and connect it up and see what happens next hopefully it works
Answer #9
It has more to do with your router than it does with the cable.

Well, Gigabit Ethernet Cable is just a simple Ethernet cable, there’s nothing special. The only difference between both cables are – connections made in the connectors. You can prepare this cable at home easily, no need to go to market for this thing.
As mentioned in above comments, an upgraded / better quality hardware plays a major role.
