I thought id share how I managed to get avi`s to stream flawlessly to my PS3 with Tversity Server. Theres also a video tutorial at the bottom of this post.

What you need

1. Tversity http://download.tversity.com/TVersitySetup_0_9_11_4.exe (http://download.tversity.com/TVersitySetup_0_9_11_4.exe)Version 0.9.11.4 (December 30, 2007) Spoiler:


2. FFdshow version 802

http://www.afterdawn.com/software/vi..._802__20070120 (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm/rev__802__20070120)

or

FFdshow version 1751

http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm/rev__1751__20080105_ (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm/rev__1355__20070715_)


Instructions

1. Install Tversity 0.9.11.4 ..... Do Not install the codec pack that comes with TVersity

2. Install FFDshow revision 802 or revision 1751 ( uninstall any old versions before installing this )

3. Once you have done all the above, goto your windows firewall and in exceptions allow Mediaserver.exe ( you can find it at C:\Program Files\TVersity\Media Server\MediaServer.exe ) You may need to allow Tversity also, if it allready hasnt been added automatically.

Ok now that everythings installed and the firewall is sorted its time to try some streaming.

1. Load up Tversity
2. Goto Start/All Programs/ Tversity Media Server/ Tversity Tools/ Start Tversity Media Server. ( This may be done automatically but I always do it manually to make sure the server side bit is running )
3. Add your folders/Files via the Sharing Tab and The Green + Icon.
4. On the Settings Tab Choose the Transcoder option on the left and setup your connection speed ( wired or wireless ) and screen resolution ( Recommended screen resolution is 1280 x 720 )
5. Scroll to bottom of the page and Save your config you have setup.
6. Do the Search for servers on your PS3 and it should now find Tversity server and from there you all know how to play your videos etc.
