[mythtv-users] MythTV + uPnP + PS3 = no joy

[R. Kannan]

I have the same problem as the original poster. I have UPnp enabled on the router and have the right IP address in myth backend setup but cannot access the video recordings from PS3.

BTW, where do you look for in PS3? I am searching for media servers.

Thanks

I agree with others that my PS3 just finds my Myth system, though it seems to be
picky on what MPEG2 files it will play.  It plays all the HD-PVR stuff and most
of the other stuff, but sometimes plays without sound or refuses to play at all.
