I originally envisioned being able to stream media through my PS3 onto my TV, but have been so disappointed with the (lack) of functionality (lack of codec support, no good way to stream from a USB HD or from iTunes or other juke-boxes except the dismally implemented media server model) that I’ve considered either installing Ubantu Linux on it or even getting a media computer.
This may not address all the issues, but it does seem like a step in the right direction…
DivX support coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 support in the works
DivX has announced that the Sony PlayStation 3 will soon support the DivX video codec. We suspected as much when the PS3 2.0 firmware was released, as it includes the ability to detect both DivX and Xvid files. According to the DivX team, full support will arrive with a future software update. DivX CEO Kevin Hell said in a statement, “We are excited to work with Sony Computer Entertainment to bring DivX to PS3. Our technology will expand the multimedia functionality of PS3 by enabling users to enjoy access to the broad library of content in the DivX digital media format.”
