Streaming 1080p mkv files to a Playstation 3 is a pain in the butt. What’s worse is that Sony doesn’t really make a decent program to do it.
Someone pointed me to the appropriately named PS3 Media Server, which does just that. You install it on your computer, turn on your Playstation 3, run the program, and then use the PS3 to access all sorts of files.
The program essentially converts the media files to something the PS3 can read and then plays them on your big screen. The encoding is on the fly with a small buffer.
Quality is about the same as my popcorn hour A-110.
The only problem is that you probably need a good computer for high bit rate 1080p files. My little ole’ computer wasn’t strong enough to convert the 1080p files on the fly so my video had ugly stuttering after a few minutes even though I’m running a wired network.
The PS3 Media Server can be downloaded here for free.
