With a media server such as Windows Media Player, PS3mediaserver, twonkymedia, TVersity, ORB, etc...

Ok does that mean you use the media player and the others mentioned playing on your computer and then hook it up to your PS3 so that it can play on tv?

Sorry I the question is dumb but im not much of a computer guy and how to do all this. If there were more instructions i could do it just not real computer savy thats all.

You install the media server on your pc and your PS3 will see it and play whatever files/folders you allow on the server.

So you install one of the mentioned apps above on comp, got that part. So how does my PS3 see it? does that mean i can listen to my sirius music through my PS3 and other stuff?

not siruis, well maybe with ORB, but your PS3 will find servers automatically.

just install PS3 media server. It is easier to figure out than WMP, plus it allows all folder access. After you run the server, go to your PS3 XMB and pick music or video or pictures...scroll down until you see the PS3 media server icon and click on it...then browse through your PC's folders as you would with windows explorer. The only note here is that you can only select the type of file which corresponds to what heading you are under in the XMB (ie, you cant select a video file if you are under MUSIC in the XMB)
