Slimpsy1647545505 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I was having a similar issue with windows 8 so I went back to using my trusty ps3 media server application. It has worked flawlessly for me and allows me to share my entire C drive to my ps3 for video/photo/music streaming. I highly recommend that. Alternatively I did get the ps3 to show but had to open up media player and allow all devices through streaming options and then also within advanced sharing options had to turn on network discovery for guest/public. Either way ps3 media server program is the shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimpsy1647545505 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 That's strange, mine sees WMP as my renderer and I just start the server and it pops up on my ps3 as a selectable streaming device. You may have other issues. . . perhaps anti-virus interfering or firewall? I'm running the latest ps3 media server with no issues. I did have to restart pc to get it to show up one time but now it's working great. Try disabling any anti-virus and re-install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
