Jess some files types are not supported by the ps3 but i have no issues streaming stuff from my iTunes. Please make sure that you are in the right menu when selecting files on the PS3. You need to select Music and then go to the PS3 media server to play music. Go to video for film etc. If you don’t you will get an error. Hope this helps.

I connected my mac to ps3 media server and everything works fine only when i try to open iTunes, all my folders are showing up. Eg music but then when i go into the music file the album shows up but when i open the album it says ‘there are no title’. And when i open my downloaded Tv shows, they are there but when i play them it comes up with file corrupted. Can you help. I am also very new to this so have no idea

Also a noob, but I turned my PS3 on, and enabled my media server option, went back to my Mac & tried it again and presto!
Couldn’t believe I forgot to enable it.

Hello,

I have tried what you recommended with no luck. I have forced the ip and the binding. I am using a wireless connection from my mini

The excerpt below is from the PMS. Do you have any other advice?

For me, selecting “en1″ on a wireless network fixed this issue as per advice given on the office PS3 Media Server forum.
