Did you add the files (by browsing the folders) on your TVersity PC?

You have to manually add those files in the folders so that it can share and broadcast them to your PS3 otherwise your PS3 only able to read blank folders! rolleyes.gif

At the moment PS3 do not support subtitles and multiple audio for ts, vob or mp4.

There are 2 ways you can watch your movies with subtitles.  One is to use tsmuxer to make a bluray disc and burn on dvd disc which can be play with your ps3 which you can then toggle the subtitles on or off.

The other ways is to re-encode the video stream with mkv2vob and remember to check the encode subtitles.

I find re-encoding using mkv2vob takes too much time..esp for 1-2 hour movie.

What I found is especially for DIVX .AVI files, which has an external .SRT
subtitles, it is much easier to join the .AVI video file and the .SRT file together and create a new .AVI (DIVX format) file.
This way, you can use the subtitle button and it works!

The process takes 2-5 minutes depending on the size of your file and speed of your PC.

thanks for replying dan....  i did add the folder which contains my mkv files and ensured that tversity services are running as per lightning69's tutorial. when i did a scan for media servers from my ps3...... it said none found tongue.gif btw i'm using an aztech wireless g router.. any ideas why it can't detect my tversity from my pc? one observation was the wifi light didn't blink on either my ps3 nor my router

What OS are you running on your PC?

I assume it is Windows, if so, did you check your Firewall settings on your PC?
Sometimes Windows built-in Firewall DOES NOT automatically recognize TVersity and it won't create exception for it to share.
You must manually make those changes otherwise it will be blocked and your PS3 won't see anything.

alot of my avi files are with srt subtitles, so i got no choice except to join them together?

Yes, because PS3 can't support external .SRT files. So, you'll make them together.
It is removable (not Burn-In) in the newer DIVX file format when you press your Subtitle button on your remote.

This process is better and faster than re-encoding using mkv2vob.

May I know where u guys get those MKV movie?

You just make them yourself. tongue.gif

Just take a DVD movie that you've bought legally, and you
can use mkv2vob to convert them to digital file, put it on
TVersity server and you can watch it on your PS3.

If you're asking about ahemm. illegal files..
then no, you MAY NOT know, until you read all the posts in the newbie section of the PS3 FAQ. biggrin.gif

Same here latest firmware... and latest PMC...
no lag at all ...tested almost all types of movie format
MKV. Avi. Mp4.
can play MKV that's good enough for me
watch my favorite anime  smile.gif

Ditto here.. Latest firmware has no issue with the various movie format: .avi, .mkv, .mp4, .wmv (only certain).

But, with TVersity.. it can almost play anything as long it can transcode. Just make sure your PC server has
the correct codec.

My only wish list is that the FWD and REV button in TVersity stream can work better..much like in PS3 local harddisk.
