Twonky Mac PS3 and VLC - trying to get it all working
Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2008 3:08 pm
Hi all, I have been trying various things for a long time and still getting not very far, looking for some help here please. I am running
- IMAC with Twonky and VLC installed, operating wireless
- PS3 wireless
I have a lot of movies on my pc that I cannot play through the ps3 via twonky due to the various video formats. VLC plays the lot so I would like to stream VLC to the PS3 to show it on the tv. Posts here say it's possible with Twonky but not how.
- Twonky connects to the ps3 I can see all the folders and all the files I simply cannot play them all
- If I stream using VLC from my Mac, do I need an instance of VLC on my PS3 to capture the stream (from what I can tell the only way of getting VLC on to the Ps3 is to first install Yellow Dog Linux
- Can I stream from VLC using http? what address do I go to on the ps3 http://yourip:8080?
I am not using VLC with command line access only through the GUI. Interested in all the help I can get and reading around I am not the only one!!!
Cheers Ben
