Has anyone here (w/ a PS3) used the WMV playback yet ?
If so, can you confirm whether the PS3 will playback a > 2gb WMV file ?
And can the WMVs be streamed, played from USB and/or disk ?
Everything I am reading online merges the DivX and WMV playback together and then states that there is a 2gb file limit but nothing states whether this affects both Divx and WMV or just DivX/WMV.
Video files can be streamed straight of a USB stick or other storage.
The 2GB limit is on DivX files. I dont know about WMV.
Cool, my m8 has just bought a PS3 purely for Blueray and I mentioned the WMV playback.
Im going to head around his over the weekend for some beer and movies, so Ill take some WMVs with me now too :)
Just read that the PS3 fw2.2 has been released and that among other things it updates the PS3 to support DivX / WMV files > 2gb :D
Result ;)
I was wondering what that update did, never got around to reading it.
Excellent. :)
Im trying to sort out a USB HDD to see if the old HFS+ filesystem trick will work on the PS3 like it did on the 360.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFS_Plus360 works with FAT32 and HFS+ for USB storage, only the latter doesnt have the 4Gb filesize limit. :)
Can you stream from a PC with a PS3?
Yes.
the PS3 works as a uPNP media client. So if you run something like TVersity then you can stream to it :)
