Have TVersity streaming to my PS3...
...but it is slow. Cannot stream movies at all (can't check from here but think they are H.264).
MP3s are OK. Folders of Pictures of around 3MB each are pretty slow.
Anybody had luck with this? I'm hopeless with networks. Can't get my head around how I can download > 1MB/sec from the internet (yes, that's a big B) but far, far less across the living room, with the same router.
Does DLNA even use the router? See; hopeless.
Or am I missing something? Is TVersity re-encoding the file before it streams, thus the bottleneck is my little atom netbook?
In general really slow throughput across the living room.
wireless network? I find that video's don't stream that well over wireless. the technical specs seem to indicate that it should work fine, but reality doesn't seem to match. thou my old wireless router was a bit crappy, new one seems fine.
also i think tversity transcodes videos that your ps3 isn't natively compatible with so that might be what causes the issue.
whats dlna?
When I got my tv, I plugged it into the router and it streams movies off any of my computers fine with good old fashion cables.
Step one, get rid of wireless (if you're running it). While convenient at times it can be nothing be a pain in the arse and I don't care what anyone says you can't beat cable for a reliable fast connection.
Step two ditch TVersity, it's bloated and slow. I used to run it and had problems with stutter etc occasionally, both on wireless and wired.
Step 3 get this; ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/
Since i've been running PS3mediaserver I have had ZERO issues...ZERO (probably about a year now). It does everything you want a media server to do with little fuss and I love it. It plays anything and transcoding is a cinch if the file is non PS3 native. Do yourself a favour, get it...yesterday 
Note; the atom NB should be able to stream something natively to the PS3 ok but I seriously doubt whether it it could transcode anything, in fact i'd almost guarantee it...it's not not powerful enough a cpu.
Unless your atom powered netbook is somehow way faster than my atom powered netbook, it'll struggle to even decode a high quality video in real time, let alone re-encode it as well.
Try this with your wireless router Panda...
Go to the settings page of your router and find the Configure Wireless Network settings (mine's a Telstra Gateway). If it is set to something like 802.11b/g for the wireless mode, change it to 802.11/b or 802.11/g (one or the other). After I did this on my home network, my interenet and streaming to my xbox became lightning fast (faster than my work's wired network). I can download a cd from the interent in about 5-6mins now for example.
Not sure if it will work for you, but worth a crack, and maybe a better solution to throwing out the wireless. It definately did the trick for me. And yeah tversity is a bucket of poo.
Good to hear that it seems to be working EP, PS3MS is a great little program. I never really messed with any of the transcoding options myself, if the ps3 won't play it I just go into the 'transcode' folder that PS3MS puts up on the PS3 and play the file through that; have never found anything I couldn't play yet :)
RE wireless; yeah it's a great technology and no doubt is improving all the time but personally I have never been happy with it. I still use my laptop around the house on the wireless but anything that requires a highly reliable connection (gaming, streaming etc) I have a cable. Sure, not as elegant a solution aesthetically but at least I know it's reliable :)
Should also note my router is 802.11g, the one I bought for my parents at Christmas was 802.11n which did seem to be significantly faster; through use of the newer standard or better hardware etc.
didn't follow any of that but can someone tell me a good site for downloading movies ... free woud be good or at least cheap anyway
