   PS3 media centre
  Hi allI have a none game related problem but I always get good advice in this forum and so thought I would ask anyway,the problem is that since I upgraded my PS3 with a hdmi cable i cannot play any videos through my media centre it says that the files are corrupt.Do i need to change something in my setting on the PS3?Any help would be great.   
  Moved to the Lounge.   ;  Does it say "Unsupported Data" for everything? Mine started saying that recently. No idea why- I figured it was a software update or something.   ;  I have a fully patched ps3 as well but i'm not having this issue, what file types are you trying to play and what type of media center software are you using?   ;  I use the PS3 Media Server and it takes care of converting pretty much any file my PC can play to something that the PS3 can play real-time.I believe this is the one.   ;Quote:Original post by Raptor85I have a fully patched ps3 as well but i'm not having this issue, what file types are you trying to play and what type of media center software are you using?I checked a few files and they all seem to have Xvid as the codec. Weird thing is that these files worked before.The files are coming off of an HP Media Center. Not sure exactly what software it uses. This thing has been acting strange lately, so maybe that's the culprit.Will try the PS3 media server, thanks for the link.   ;  Hi allto clarify the problem a bit, I use vista and the standard media player that come with it would have been saved in the default format.This used to work before I could play the videos through the PS3, I don't know for sure but when I stared to use the hdmi cable it can find the files but says that they are all corrupt.Regards chapnch   ;Quote:Original post by chapinchHi allto clarify the problem a bit, I use vista and the standard media player that come with it would have been saved in the default format.This used to work before I could play the videos through the PS3, I don't know for sure but when I stared to use the hdmi cable it can find the files but says that they are all corrupt.Regards chapnchchange the cable back - does it still give errors?   ;  1. Look at all your video system settings and check signal output type stuff.2. put one of the videos on a USB external/thumbdrive and try to play it directly. If it works, blame vista. ;)3. Try Tversity, which is in my opinion the best media server for PS3 use. Hopefully there's a vista version.The PS3 (generally) has absolutely no issues playing xvid files and outputting to HDMI when everything's set correctly, so something isn't.
