Using PS3 Slim with latest firmware, have question about playing movie from media server.
Most of my movies in my media server, Synology NAS.
I realize I can only open .mp4 movie, but not .avi.
Is there any settings or tweak to be done?
Wondering any solution other than converting them.

are you sure it was a correct .avi files?coz my console can play divx,mp4 and avi without probs.but only certain avi files that i can play due to the different codec.you need to convert the files again into avi if want to make it work.if not,you can dload the ps3 media server and stream the video from your pc to the ps3 unit. smile.gif

I am thinking probably the NAS is like a barebone storage, so it will just serve the files to your PS3. The PS3 is a bit picky when it comes to MP4 files. Certain MP4 containers doesn't work pretty well, AFAIK. As darkheart mentioned, you can use PS3 media server, in which it will transcode whatever MP4 files you have to MPEG2 streams to your PS3 realtime via DLNA, which guarantees playback on it, most of the time.

Most of the .avi files I downloaded, hence no idea what codec. All I can play using Media Player Classic typically.
MY NAS has the DLNA features, so I just put all my videos there and stream from my ps3.
Doesn't really want to install anything at my pc as I won't switch on my pc, else I might as well just watch movie from my pc.
Anyway, thanks for the idea.

You can't play MKV files on the PS3, period.
If you want to play them, do it through media streaming.

Otherwise, convert.

I having problem streaming even .avi files through my Network Storage that has DLNA support.
It will shows as not supported format.
So far only tested can play .mp4 and .wmv files.
