I know theres a tute for Nero Mediahome for this but alot of people have asked for a Tversity guide. So i've done a bit of diggin on the web and put this together. Feel free to add to if you want.
What you need
1. Tversity http://download.tversity.com/Setup_0_9_10_7.exe
2. FFdshow version 802 (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm/rev__802__20070120) working link
or
FFdshow version 1355 http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm
3. Haali Media Splitter for HD/mkv files http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe
Instructions
1. Install Tversity 0.9.10.7
2. Install FFDshow revision 802 or revision 1355 ( 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you get pass the hard part and have the video transcoding working. With enough CPU power, we can get much better picture quality instead of the default MPEG1 transcoding.
Bring up TVersity and goto the Transcoder tab. Set Optimization for Quality, Connection Speed: Wired or Wireless, Connection Quality: Excellent, Compression: Minimum. Set Max Video resolution to 1280x720 or upto 1920x1080 depends on your video clips native max resolution. And check the Decoding Speed option.
Stop the TVersity sharing. Goto the TVersity program file folder Media Server and find the profile.xml Open it and search for mpeg16 (should be under PS3 section). Change mpeg16 to mpeg2 to use MPEG2 transcoding instead of MPEG1. After modify save the change.
Optional (some say this will further improve the video quality): find the config.xml under TVersity program file folder Media Server. Open it and find the videoCompressionRatio="12", change 12 to a lower value (less compression) such as 5. You may also try to slightly increase the transcoding bitrate by adjust the bitrate="8000000" (default 8Mbps) value. After modify save the change.
Bring up TVersity and start the sharing. Clean all cached file in the General tab Temporary Media Files.
Play the transcoding video file from the PS3 and the video quality should be much improved if your original clip is in high quality
Pros:
-Actually plays video
-Organizes the files a lot better than Nero did
-Doesn't randomly make my PC say "A Network Cable has been unplugged" like Nero did
-Doesn't give me "access denied" or "check settings" errors on PS3 NEARLY as much. Maybe about 1 out of 20 times, whereas Nero was 18 out of 20 times.
-It doesn't have to sit around indexing stuff before it starts working. Everything was working fine the minute I started it and accessed it.
Cons:
-Still randomly gives me errors on the PS3, although not very often.
-Some videos play ultra-compressed looking, with artifacts everywhere, even though other files just like them play fine.
-Audio on some videos is absolutely horrible. Sounds like a low-pitched demon voice with a lot of static, even though it's all playing normal speed.
-You have to follow this tutorial to get these results, which aren't exactly awesome results.
hope this helps ppl
