Im fairly new to opensuse and was looking for some information on how i can stream SD videos over my network, from a computer running opensuse to a PS3. In terms of hardware i have a computer that runs suse and a wireless G router from linksys running DD WRT. The computer is connected via cat 5 cable to the router and the PS3 is wireless. Im not sure if that would have any limitations. Transfering over the internal network via ftp i cant get a maximum of 2.8 mb/s.
Im looking for information reguarding how to setup openSuse to share a particular video folder with the PS3, as well as some setup information for the PS3. Which protocol type is preferred etc.
Grab the PS3 Media Server ( PS3 Media Server ) which is a Java application (yes I know) and it will do it all from a relatively easy to understand GUI.
Unpack it and go to the directory where the files were decompressed and run ** java -jar pms.jar** which will open a nifty little GUI - post here if you need guidance on how to set it up. I’ve only tested it with the Sun Java and not OpenJDK although I would imagine it works with either.

+1 to this suggestion; I use the PS3 Media Server myself, and it works
very nicely - and the ability to do transcoding if necessary is a really
nice bonus.
I did have to tweak the rights on the included tsMuxR binary - execute
wasn’t set in my installation after unpacking.

Easiest way to do that is start the application, open a terminal window,
and then do an “lsof -i” to see what ports are being used by what
application.
