| 1247623 | 2011-12-07 20:17:00 | Morning all, I am struggling with getting movies to stream to my PS3 from a HDD connected by USB to my modem/router. My intention is to be able to switch off the PC and still be able to watch videos from that HDD. The problem is that the PS3 can't see this drive at all. I can't find anything on the PS3/Sony website that addresses this. Any ideas and advice welcome. KP |

While they do work sometimes, you would be better off getting a real NAS device that connects to the router Via a Ethernet cable, that way its basically a standalone Node on the Network. Edited: If you read access-computer-files-from-ps3 (www.ehow.com) Even that says a computer which a real NAS device is seen as. |

You might have to set an option in the routers firmware to stream using DLNA or configure it somehow, what modem router are you using? If it CAN be read from other devices it's a PS3 issue (wrong stream type, cant see it etc) if it CAN'T be read by other devices there is a problem with the setup/configuration somewhere. By read I mean you could open up a DLNA stream not just see it as a network HDD. Thats probably not good enough for PS3. It will need to see a media stream. |
