Get an xbox 360 it works marvelously with tversity never had any problems but i always have problems with it on my ps3. Sometimes the file will say its corrupted or no media servers found but it works half of the time, at least for me.

Running a firewall program prevents the PC and PS3 from being viewed on the network. Go to the internet settings for both PC and PS3 and acquire the IP Addresses; separately enter PC and PS3 IP addresses into he ‘trust’ section of your Firewall program (Symantec, or Windows, etc.). Should be able to see PC on the PS3.

Hey thanks so much for this post – it was MUCH needed! I hooked up my PS3 to my PC perfectly good… withing 10 minutes!

Now I’m trying to set up my friend on his PS3 but a big problem – we have no idea what his router password is neither do I want to mess with that. Right now everything is set up on his PC and when we visit the localhost url (http://localhost:41952/) it works just fine HOWEVER the PS3 is NOT detecting it! The tversity server is on as well and the firewall is off. He has Windows XP.
Is there any where I can work around this or do I have to go meddle with the router.

Pls help!

playing a game may have slowed down the streaming from your pc to the ps3. what your hearing is the small bits being transferred at a time. so guess you either use TVersity, or play a game. Hope i helped :)

TVersity isn’t necessary, just put your network setting as a “private network”, enable sharing on your network and sharing centre (you may have to pick what gets shared or not which is in a properties tab) and then search for media servers on your ps3. You don’t need this software (I thought I did but then I deleted it once I realised that I can do it anyway and the built in sharing is better (not as jerky))

Somebody help!!!
I installed Tversity and everything works great, I can see video and pictures, hear music, but then when I went to play a game the audio on every game cuts off, you can hear the original sound for about half a second then it cuts then you can hear it again the it cuts, it does this repeatedly so it sounds like static (but it isn’t)…..
Does anyone know how to fix that?

Thanks
