	Music will stream easily - video has a much higher bitrate as it contains the video AND audio file - standard definition (i.e. xvids) should stream OK - I wouldn't even bother attempting to stream HD stuff unless it's over Ethernet or Wireless N

	Good point, get a crossover cable and connect the two together :) I've streamed music from my PC to the PS3 before over the WiFi network (everything we have is wireless) and it does it pretty quickly and doesn't stutter or anything. Not really tried videos.

	Run a cable? The ONLY way to guarantee a flawless connection, constantly.

Yes my phone and PC are both connected so you can watch anything from them on your PS3. quote: Originally posted by colonel_g no i think if your pc has bluetooth on it you can stream files from your pc to your ps3 Correct, but via wi-fi, not bluetooth.

	Oh I probably left quite an important part out actually, that my PS3 is connected to my PC wirelessly...

	I bought a Gigabit switch for my server <> PS3 and can stream 1080p Blu-ray without any stutter. It was like £24 with some CAT6 cable. :)

	quote: Originally posted by kz Hi I don't find streaming to work very well tbh... Playing video files it pretty much goes 20 seconds play, followed by 5 seconds of buffering. Obviously, un-watchable. Playing music is different, it can take a good 5 minutes to actually load the file up (60Mb+ mix that is) but then it's pretty smooth, will only stop to buffer a few times throughout the file. Anything which can improve this? At the moment I'm having to copy the file I wanna watch over wi-fi to the PS3 then watch it and delete it after... Not the biggest pain in the arse but still! Cheers. as xaos says............ you can change streaming settings and still deliver awesome quality. i streamed a 720p copy of this is it from lappy to ps3, and it didnt judder once.
