Is not cool to only be able to browse movies and not been able to see them unless they are mpeg4 on the ps3… so a fast and easy way to convert them is this:

First install GPAC
(GPAC is an implementation of the MPEG-4 Systems standard developed from scratch in ANSI C)

using gentoo:
emerge media-video/gpac
if using other system:
apt-get install gpac or just get it from the home page here

I found this lite batch script the other day on the ps3forums:

(how to browse and play videos and mp3s with your ps3 from your linux box)

I wanted to share my videos and MP3’s from my linux box (in my case gentoo) with my PS3 with out having to transfer them so here are the steps to make it happen…

first you need to get net-libs/libupnp

do all this from the console:

emerge net-libs/libupnp
or
yum install libupnp (from the kbs-CentOS-Extra repository for CentOS)

*note it has to be equal or higher than version 1.4.2
if you are using another distro you can get it from http://pupnp.sourceforge.net/

**** USING uShare ****

then download this great application that was developed for the GeeXboX called uShare

wget http://ushare.geexbox.org/releases/ushare-0.9.10.tar.bz2
then decompress the bz2 file
tar xvjf ushare-0.9.10.tar.bz2
then go into the folder
cd ushare-0.9.10
now lets configure and compile
./configure --prefix=/usr
then
make
make install
now you can run it
ushare -c /home/DIRECTORY TO SHARE1 -c /DIRECTORY TO SHARE2 &
after doing this go to: http://localhost:49152/web/ushare.html
if you see the ushare page everything went ok and now you should be able to see your linux box from the ps3

*UPDATE: Only VIDEO via uShare works, MP3 playback don’t work yet under uShare yet…

**** USING FUPPES ****

From the command line:
emerge lame
emerge twolame

svn co http://fuppes-svn.ulrich-voelkel.de/trunk fuppes

autoreconf -i
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
then just run it:
fuppes
*make sure you configure it via the webinterface and rebuild the database

I was able to play MP3’s, Photos and Movies with Fuppes

When I got my ps3 I had 2 ways to connect my ps3 to the dell 2407 WFP ….

Solution #1
With only one cable with one end with HDMI connector and on the other end with DVI…..
the problem with this solution is that when ever I get a HD TV I won’t be able to reuse the cable…

Solution #2 (the one I used)
Get a normal HDMI cable with both ends HDMI and use a converter…..

So as soon as I got my playstation 3 I went to RadioShack and got my self 2 things…

• Monster Cable VA DVI-HDMI SL High-Performance Male DVI to Female HDMI Adapter
• 6-FT HDMI CABLE

So for less than $100 including tax… you can connect your PS3 with your Dell 2407WFP and reuse the cable with another HDTV….

After making the Connection use a normal TV with the cables that came with the System and also connect the HDMI to your dell (connect both at the same time)
then go:
Settings –> Display Settings –> Video Output Settings

then select HDMI at 1080p and then your TV will go black and it will show up on the DELL then press X…..

then go disconnect the normal cable and you are done!

well this is a compilation of the videos I recorded during the ps3 campout….

josh paso en la noche por bestbuy y nos grabo unos minutos….

just in case it doesn’t work
*no mask for me during the day…..

Good news!! the Jabra JX10 works Great with the PlayStation 3 as a headset for communicating with your friends while playing…
I use it with Resistance and works great….
the Paring took around 15 seconds…
Go to Settings –> Accessory Settings –> Register Bluetooth Device –> Register Headset/microphone/HeadPhones
the PS3 detect it in seconds … no need for further configuration just go an play …

I was on TV hahahahah
