Wasn't hard. The router does most the work. It will take getting used to. I'm hoping for better load times of my movies

Well not all my movies show up over the network. The nice things is being able to save to the hard drive over the network using my laptop. Almost like a cloud storage or a server. I like that aspect but the movie thing kind of pisses me off

Before I built my media pc from spare parts and a couple I had to buy I used PS3media server. It worked most of the time except on the few oddball poorly encoded mkv files. It's actually the reason I ended up hard-wiring my PS3 since the 1080p movies would overload my wireless for some reason. Don't know which software you're using though. BTW the PS3 doesn't natively support .mkv files so if those are the ones that are not showing up that's why. They have to be transcoded/muxed/recoded or whatever the proper word is in order to have them play on the PS3.

Most mine are x264. I have my ps3 hard wired to the router and so is the hard drive. No software necessary

I've got XBMC on my laptop reading a network share on my desktop streaming over one of the lower wireless N connections. Pretty surprised it works since my router is a verizon mifi but I have no problem with 6+ GB blu-ray rips.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
