Nullriver releases Mac/PS3 media sharing application

Can't you just share your files on the Mac, Windows style, and then browse and play them on the PS3 or 360?

Isn't there something out there like this for Wii? Didn't I read about it on here? These questions must be answered....

Hehe, iTunes DRM. The easiest thing to get around. Burn an audio CD (which you want to do anyway since iTunes doesn't let you download something you lost again without forking over another $1 a song) and rip it back in the non-DRM format. Problem solved.

As a new Mac owner/PS3 owner, thats good to hear. (Although my laptop is always in front of my PS3, so this is kind of useless =P)

I'm not sure if I just imagined it or what, but I was under the impression that the PS3-streaming functionality was going to be added on to the existing Connect360 software.

Which I was excited about, since it would've meant that I could choose to stream media to my much quieter PS3 without having to plop down $20 for another piece of software...

*grumble* You'd think they'd at least offer a discount for existing Connect360 users.

If DRM in iTunes is a problem just make a playlist, burn to CD as a Audio CD format (see iTunes prefs) and then stick CD into PS3 to have it RIP the songs to MP3's without the DRM pretty quick and if you use a CD-R you can just erase it and do this several times. I have also tried the EyeConnect software from Elgato that allows this same function but it also has some issues. I like to do it more manually since network connect in my apartment building gets alot of interference from other's wireless channel overlap. Windows Media Player already allows for UPnP AV device connections so one Windows this is not needed but I do have both Mac and PC as well as two PS3's. Sound like this software as well as Elgato's still has issues so still waiting for next round of software. @Norm Apple's MOV format does not work on PS3. You have to convert it to H264 MPEG (.mp4 or .m4v))format or newest PS3 firmware allows Divx and AVI support. I use Quicktime Pro or just RIP my DVD's using Handbrake straight to m4v format so a little work but works great when done.

I have used the previous "best Mac-to-PS3" streaming app (EyeConnect), I can say that MediaLink is the far superior product. Also, the price is much better at $20 bucks than EyeConnect ($69.99 last time I checked).

The streaming is fast, and the Fast Forward, Rewind, and pause features are well implemented (read: doesn't hose the playback). This is a must have.

As soon as I send this post, I'm sending $20 to Nullriver Software.

Why would they offer a discount to Connect360 users? They're two similar programs, but for two entirely different consoles.

Anyway, I installed it, and the demo worked flawlessly. Purchased immediately. Nullriver continues to put out excellent software with fantastic customer service day in and day out. They're an essential piece of the Mac community.

Bravo. Job well done.

Well. It did work flawlessly for me. I downloaded the software, installed it, and then clicked the Start button. Then I quit gaming on the PS3 and went to Music, and all my music was already there.

PS: Not flawlessly. I just remembered there was this just one song, which didn't have the album art right, other than that everything worked perfect.

Didn't work so well for me, got it to connect and my PS3 could see my folders but music and photos would not play. I tried viewing my movie collection but it was hit and miss, the same movies I can watch using Connect360 were unsupported on my PS3. Gonna wait on this. 30 minute trial? Are they serious?? Wastin' my time.

Works great!
