What is your network setup and what type of movie that you want to play?

shitmix wifi and i'm trying to play mkv file..
it can read but the video kinda stuck, not smooth..

Streaming MKV via Wifi is quite laggy. Go to Transcoding settings and look for "Video Quality Settings". Under Mpeg2 Video quality settings, change the value from drop down menu and select the value that you want. You might need to play around with the value until you have the best settings for your setup. My settings is "keyint=25:vqmax=5:vqmin=2 /* Good quality for HD Wifi Transcoding */" whenever I want to stream MKVs thru Wifi on my PS3.

thanks bro...will try after get home...
but before this theres no laggy playing videos or maybe last time i was playing avi/mp4 videos...need to check..
thanks anyway..will reportin the result..

you hardly will see avi and mp4 lag in PS3 media server because it doesn't need your PC to transcode it, your PC will just pass everything to your PS3 and let it do the job, thus it is faster.

but i think the max resolution for wifi transcode with good quality while not lag would be 720p, wired connection is always the best

oh forgot to tell u guys..
i'm playing mkv video files but not HD..
its Brrip which 500mb of size..

It was a while i was using PS3 media server n all of a sudden this program cant detect ps3 anymore.. i dunno why??

Need help.
Tried mine previously, ps3 wired to router, laptop on wireless. My router is those common Belkin router + modem.
But when laptop wired to router (konon for better connection ), ps3mediaserver cannot detect my ps3, vice versa.
Why is this? pls help.

Nice one dude, thanks for this. Mkv files with subtitles on PS3 owns!

my problem now is it can run movies smoothly for the 1st half hour and after that its goin back stuck again...

mine also same... i play movie 720p everything ok (but cant fast forward 10x)... after 50min it get stuck2...
any bro have any idea how to overcome this?
btw im using wifi...

one more question... if i plug my ps3 to router via cable then my pc to router using wifi... will it make any different?

yes, you can fast forward the video, but only 10x maximum, if you want you can go to specific timeline of the video

yes, it owns!! after i got PS3 and PS3 media server i never want to watch anime and movie on my laptop anymore, PS3 + LCD TV FTW!!

me too, while i was watching Shinjuku Incident with DTS audio, just few mins after playing the movie is start to lag, then i pause it for 1mins it play smooth through out the movie, but somewhere till 75% of the movie it lag again, so i just pause it for 1 mins again.

but i think is because of the DTS audio is using too much bandwidth

So far any know proven setting to overcome shuttering with DTS .mkv?

I'm having the same problem with DTS .mkv's. AC3 are smooth and haven't faced much problems.

I'm connected wired.

me too using wired and stuttering when playing .mkx file with .dts stream, 1 solution is to mux mkv video to avi, then problem solve since the audio stream in avi is mp3 or aac.

Previously I have not encountered any issues of shutter, cuz I mostly watch tv series.

I notice that the audio = DD5.1, and the video if it's;
AVC = it never shutters before
Mpeg2 = this is the culprit! when it goes above 100 mb/s transfer

"this is shown when u press [sellect] on the DS3"

.. and when ever it exceeds 100mb/s it starts to halt and jitter ..

May I know what or how to over come the transfer rate and keep it below 100mb/s or better still 50mb/s and still have the quality sustained?

ps3 media server transcodes all incompatible videos to mpeg2. Unfortunately mpeg2 is not size-efficient, so the size of the movie being sent to the ps3 becomes a lot bigger. Assuming this is not an issue with your CPU, u can either prep ur movies with mkv2vob, lower your transcoding quality settings, or run a direct wired connection between ur pc and the ps3. Personally I chose the last option, adding a 2nd gigabit adapter to the pc and running cat6 to the ps3, bypassing my router.

Ps: the Mbps display on the ps3 is actually incorrect when the video stutters. The actual is actually much lower (maybe around 50 Mbps max).

i have a problem.. i can't play anything on my ps3 ?? it is connected and just doesn't come up anything.. i using wireless connection but it is quite near to my router..

those who have this problem is because of the LAN problem. You guys is either running on 54mbps or 100mbps. Try the 1000mbps but you must make sure your PC ethernet port is a gigabit port before you purchase the gigabit wireless router else you will still have the problem. Imagine 1km long road with 500m highway and 500m trunk road...what will happen..

some solution you can use here

1. change to wired connection for more bandwidth
2. decrease transcode quality in media server
3. better CPU (somehow i dont think this is quite related)

before this i use wifi transcode, then the anime/movie is playing the opening and ending, shutter will always occur.

after i changed to wired connection, transcode settings set to highest quality with no quality lost, it play smooth as silk

PS3 support gigabit LAN? i thought only 100mbps?
