Nullriver also allows you to send requests and reports on their site without registering (in contract with TwonkyMedia, to which you have to “sell your soul”) A simple page explains what it is, what it does, and what it costs. The nullriver homepage looked very elegant, and promising. Another way is dragging the app to the trashcan and then restarting your Mac (not mac-like but it works). Uninstalling TwonkyMedia requires you to kill the process from the Terminal, and then drag TwonkyMediaServer.app to your trashcan. The look and feel, and the crashes didn’t feel like it was worth the $40 to me, so I uninstalled it.

The trial version of Twonkymedia last for 30 days, but on the first day it already started acting up on me, and I had to restart it a few times while watching video. Twonky can do some transcoding and other streaming stuff, but I did not try that because I simply wanted to see my photo’s and home video’s on my TV. Potentially Twonky can do a bit more than CyberMediaGate. It’s a bit strange but it gets the job done. The installer leaves two webloc files on your desktop which point to the configuration screens. TwonkyMedia does not look very Mac-like, and I don’t like the looks of the webpage it is serving. After filling it in and restarting Twonky, I could access it with the PS3. The PS3 aparently can not handle an empty server name. This is because TwonkyMedia does not come with a default server name. The installer copies “TwonkyMediaServer.app” in your application folder, starts it, and then opens a browser which points to the local URL of it’s configuration screen.Īt that moment, it already is serving clients, but when you try to access it with the PS3, you will get a protocol error. It is a strange (wonky?) piece of software, had no native GUI and only lives on your machine as a webapplication. This was the first DLNA server I actually got to work on my Mac, and had it serving video to my PS3.

Not being able to install software “out of the box” may be normal on Linux, but is unaccepatble on a Mac.
I decided this was not very “Mac like” and dumped it. It misses a Xerces library and I can not seem to get the right version added to the classpath. I found a DLNA server implemented in Java, and didn’t get it to work.
#USE PS3 MEDIA SERVER FOR MAC HOW TO#
For weeks, I was not able to find a single site telling me how to install a DLNA server on my Mac, or where to find a decent one.Īltgough they’re hard to find, there are a few OSX DLNA servers out there. It sounded like a lot of trouble to go through to simply watch the photos and home videos on a TV. I was a bit sceptical about the DLNA capabilities of the PS3, because I read a lot of bad news on this fairly new “Interoperability Guidelines” concept.
My wife bought me a playstation 3 last year, and I’ve enjoyed many hours of gaming on it, finishing Tomb Raider underworld, and now making decent progress in Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction.
