MOOSEDESIGN  This is a hard product to recommend at the moment... Most of it works great, most of the time... but the support is absolutely appalling. Even saying "feedback" or "support" implies that it exists, and I am not convinced it does. There is not even so much as an automated response when you send in a request. If you have questions or issues its essentially up to your ingenuity and that of the community at large to solve. Aside from a basic troubleshooting guide there are no manuals, no blog, no references of any kind, so the total silence from support is truly galling. You don't have to look far to find that I am not exaggerating. So, like I said, hard to recommend. It works for the most part, but if you have any issues at all you are completely on your own. Don't expect any help whatsoever from Nullriver.

ALEXF  From their site: "The final 2.0 version of MediaLink will include full video transcoding functionality that is being polished up for release very soon!"

That is awesome! Going to wait out the new alpha release (still on Leopard), but I'm glad Nullriver's been developing 2.0.

SPACEMANSPIFF  Worked great on Leopard but 10.6 breaks MediaLink.

Sent an email to the developer and -- shocker! -- no reply. Same as last time I emailed with them a question. No blog on their site saying what's happening one way or the other.

INDYMACADDICT  I emailed Nullriver tech support days ago with no reply.

Nullriver, please fix this issue with 10.6. Pretty Please!!

JURASSIC  Unfortunately MediaLink 1.72 doesn't work in Snow Leopard :-(

Hoping Nullriver will come out with an updated version soon.

EAK  I just upgraded my old Mac to a Duo Mac Mini and have been loving it. Just discovered Vuse and the PS3 device option and then found Medialink.

I installed both and started watching movies viewing pictures, etc...all without issue. I was in heaven.

A day later, I downloaded a bunch of vids (avi format) booted up the PS3 and my world changed. The vids loaded but it took 3 mins to start and then the stream stopped and started every few seconds.

The only think I changed on my system was loading up Timemachine. But since then I have turned it off and still have the same problem.

My apartment has a build in network and my PS3/Mac and on PC laptop all use it.

I have tinkered and tinkered with settings and even tried copying my vids to the PS3 hard drive but cannot make this work right or fast.

Frustrated in Vancouver. ;-)

DASH08  medialink is not worth $20.. videos stop and start  
(Version 1.72)

GUITARPETE987  The program actually works great for me. Flawless music streaming, flawless video streaming, flawless with photos.

There' ONE quirk that BUGS THE HELL OUT OF ME:

Whenever I play a song, it takes the track information about 45 seconds to appear, and when the next song plays, the info for the previous song sticks around for that same amount of time.

This can't be my streaming speed, because HD movies play without a hitch (and their information appears immediately). I'm using Mac OS Tiger and Medialink 7.2.

Anyone have any suggestions?

RIDMAUR  Good product; works as expected. Not experiencing any problems.

DSCHLENKER  absolutely love this product! after moving from a windows environment + 360 to a mac environment + ps3 I was so excited to find medialink. v1.72 fixes a number of network related issues, can't wait to see how they improve this software in the future.

thing i love the most: attaching an external drive to my network, then having medialink broadcast the location to the PC. I no longer need to have my music & pictures on my computer to watch/listen on my tv.

features - music, video, files, pictures - they cover the gamut

ease of use - installs as a preference pane, always on!

value - currently priced at $20, less than the cost of buying a cable to connect my computer to the TV.

stability - recent update, 1.72 has made the product incredibly stable

Future Mini-Request - *if* it's possible to detect when the PS3 is communicating with Medialink, prevent the computer from going to sleep. (Alternatively, if the two are communicating .. prevent link from dying when notebook lid is closed).
