I used to be a fan of this software, but I'm on the verge of switching to PS3 Media Server. Why? Because it's simply works better. A lot better. The PS3 MS's interface is awful, but the software just works, right out of the box, with practically no configuration. I started the app, it found my PS3 on the network, and flawlessly played a 12GB mkv file with 5.1 audio without flinching. With the tick of one checkbox, I was then able to stream DTS audio! All over wireless N! All of the above is a pipe dream with MediaLink.

With the latest version of MediaLink I tried a half dozen different files and with a half dozen different configurations and under no circumstances could I get it to stream 5.1 audio to my PS3. I filled out of form requesting help with the issue on the Nullriver site and a month later I've still received no response. As a paying customer, I expect a bit more. And MediaLink can barely handle a 1.2GB mkv, let alone a 12GB file. And the configuration options are extremely limited compared to PS3 Media Server. Obviously they were going for ease of use here, but the limited options hinder your ability to fine tune to the server to your particular network.

So if you're looking for a media server solution that simply gets the job done, PS3 Media Server is it. The interface needs work but the functionality is superb. And best of all it's free! It's shame that a paid product is so inferior to a free one.

Very nice app for music, and pics! The only thing that bugs me are my MKV's, they are ALL out of sync! Sorry, won't pay for this :(

Cannot upgrade from 2.32 to 2.33. System prefrences opens & closes and it has me back on ver 2.32

I had been using media link for a while and for the most part it performed as expected. Unfortunately the upgrades sometimes cause more problems than they fixed.

Recently I started ripping my DVD collection using Handbrake with a custom low-profile setting. I found the movies played fine via the PS3's USB port but when being streamed via MediaLink I kept getting an Unknown Format error. I also noticed that the directory refreshes were slow and the thumbnails took a while to load.
Then I remembered stumbling across Yazsoft Playback. I downloaded the trial and loaded up a few of my movies. They all worked fine and looked better too. Even the loading of directories and thumbnails was quicker, more-over it works for the Xbox 360 and PS 3 for $15 instead of having to pay $40 for two different products.

Any change medialink will add support to be able to stream to iOS devices?

I have brought the medialink program, and I have connected the PS3 system to the internet wirelessly. I have activated and started media files sharing from my macbook.

But my PS3 can not find my macbook or the media server (medialink)!! I have tried disabling firewalls.it does connect to the Belkin Play Media Server, which is empty in all folders.

I have even tried the PS3 media server. But it cannot detect my PS3.but like I said PS3 has UPnp enabled,and its connected by wireless

Please help.
Thank you

I have updated to MediaLink 2.05 and everything works fine. Only question I have is
how are the subtitles supported (.srt is what I have, named the same as avi file) but I still don't get the subtitles on screen. I do have subtitles displayed checked in MEncoder Transcoder menu.

guys, i was wrong. it's ok to play songs now but when playing movies i get errors. well, back to ps3 media server again. sigh

I found the only way I could get this b1 version and the last a1 version to stream video to my PS3 via an ethernet connection was to trash the album art preview component. If I didn't do this all I would get was a DNLA error followed by my PS3 telling me all my files were corrupted.
Also, this version automatically transcodes all .wmv files. This is a bit annoying as the PS3 is already compatible with most WMVs and I assume that transcoding them on the fly can only lead to a drop in quality. It would be better if there was an option to turn off automatic transcoding.

Just lately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! errors happen every time i stream .avi's! from an imac wireless through medialink, i get 20mins into a film then error!!!! never had error since the update!!! whats going on. GETTING FRUSTRATED. Its either an Elan error, when all connections are correct or an 80000BLAH-BLAH-BOLLOCKS, cannot read file .error code. This happens even on files i have watched repeatedly in the past. Also whats the point of having a support line on the website, asking to fill in your e-mail address and details when you cant be fucking arsed to reply. SORT IT WHEN WE ARE PAYING FOR IT.
