Finally!!! Thank you so much. I used to play all my content from an external HDD, but today my PS3 stopped reading the drive, not sure why. It still works when connected to my PC(s). So now it looks like I have to stream all of my content. Your tutorial is the best!!! Thank you again.

First of all, this KZbin video you created is extremely excellent. The pace in which you explain the steps is perfect and it's very easy to follow along while we imitate the same steps on our own computers. HOWEVER, what you say at time slot 9:02 is incorrect. I reviewed this over & over again before writing to you... At 9:02, you said "it's looking for music in the video folder". No sir, it most certainly is NOT looking for music, it's looking for VIDEOS files in that music folder. That's why it indicated "No files" found. I know what you meant or implied, but as long as you are browsing in the Videos menu of the PlayStation, you can only find video files, so please don't confuse the folks by saying it's looking for music - even though you clicked a folder that's named Music. Instead, tell them it will only search for videos in the Video menu, music in the Music menu, playlists in the Playlist menu. I know you know what I'm talking about. Again, great job with minor discrepancies which most would not notice. Keep up the good work! (I've been building / repairing / troubleshooting computers since MSDOS days)

Jeff82556 Such a nice rant for such a small foible.

[@Juanah92]

I noticed he said that incorrectly too, but I think it was just a mistake and he would have corrected it, had he noticed.

[@jamb34]

you have saved me so much time ive been looking for how to do this for months massive thanks

[@Basito182]

Watching and using this in 2023. Thanks!

[@JAGTutorials]

@twiggy142 I'm glad the video was helpful. I went over the video several times so i'm not sure how I missed the MAC address getting through. Being on my secure home network, i'm not overly concerned with it getting through. If it was my laptop I would probably take the video down and edit it, but I don't want to lose any views. Thanks for the heads up.

[@AMUNDOE]

I’ve done this on widows 10 with your advice and a strong wind behind me 👍🏻😄

[@WCGwkf]

thank you! all videos should be this clear as a youtube standard.

[@jebuzjaime]

To make it easy make the movie an AVI or mp4 file whichever and just drag them onto your videos in the library it simplifies everything.

[@SmithyBoii98]

thancks this is the only one that has actually worked for me. much appreciated

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

that guy is right, your mac address is clearly visible. an annotation should cover it. nice tut btw.

[@SVUlover12325]

thank you soooo much it was driving me nuts that i couldnt fix it . you are the best best vid. i just finished it and it works perfectly

[@JGrandcourt]

Thankyou this worked perfectly. Also be mindful of firewall settings I had to adjust that as well.

[@mattbarrington]

Thanks man! This really helped me out! Very straightforward.

[@Wolfmanbsam]

On PS3 Network Settings, at the very bottom, make sure "Media Server Connection" is set to Enabled

[@FirstOvernight]

very helpful.. finally got my ps3 to work with this, thx..

[@vinnytucks87]

Thanks, your method worked like a charm.

[@ThePoWer2SlaYer]

for everyone out there where it isnt finding your ps3. You need to turn media servers on within the ps3

[@Demonicpest]

Thank you man, great tutorial really helped me out!!!!

[@seizybei]

in network my ps3 was not there aswell but this work for me you need to sigh in to your microsoft acc on your laptop then it should pop up for you :)

[@Crazyman685227]

You tutorial was very helpful!

[@SamU-vn1rh]

Okay I CANNOT believe how many people don't know how to stream music videos and LITERALLY anything else you can imagine from you pc to your tv. ALL you need is a somewhat new pc and an hdmi cable. All you do is hook the hdmi cable into an hdmi port on the tv and then you take the hdmi cable and hook it into your laptop. Then all you do is switch the component to whatever hdmi port you were using (e.g. Hdmi 1 or 2) and there you go. The hdmi cable will display EVERYTHING your doing on your laptop and then convert it to your tv in HD. 720 or 1080 p just depends which tv you have. Happy? You can thank me now.

[@donuttoy8482]

That's not streaming, that's using your TV as a input source. Streaming is WIRELESSLY connecting to a Laptop/PC via media servers.

[@Jeff82556]

Streaming indicates WIRELESS, such as a network or WiFi. Obviously, you're not the best.

[@TheIkonGamer]

Jeff82556 lol
