So here's the deal, I love my PS3. I use it for as my main source of entertainment. I also have an iPhone 4. I am too cheap, or maybe just content, to upgrade. I am not stuck on Apple products but I do enjoy my iPhone and it has been rock solid for what I use it for.
I took a video of my dog Dyson the other day and wanted to show it to the family without having to deal with passing my phone around and dealing with the "where did it go?" screen presses and swipes. I am sure you know how grandma and the kids can be.....
I found an app in the iPhone App Store that looked promising for what I was wanting to do. It is called iMediaShare. It comes in both a paid and a free version. The free version will work just fine for our needs.
The first thing you need to do is get your PS3 setup to recognize media streaming devices on your network.
- Turn on your PS3.
- Using your PS3 controller, slide over to Settings and then scroll down to Network Settings and press the X button.
- Scroll down to Media Server Connection and press the X button.
- Highlight Enabled and press the X button
- Press the O button once to back out of the menu.
- Your PS3 will now look for media servers on your network.
I was then greeted with some informational pages describing the features of iMediaShare and what it can do. A few gentle swipes of my finger and I was onto the Ready To Start page. iMediaShare gives you the option to sign in using Facebook, which I did not want to utilize yet. I chose to poke the Skip Log in link instead.
I was greeted with a screen full of categorized images. The categories ranged from Featured to Live News. Impressive so far...
But how do I get to my video? How to I stream it through my PS3? All media located on your iPhone is located in the Personal category. The category includes Camera Roll Videos, Camera Roll Photos, My Music, and Local Network.
- Poke the Camera Roll Videos image.
- Poke Camera Roll in the My Videos list.
- Poke the video you want to Share
- Poke PlayStation 3 listed under Choose a Screen
- You are greeted with a message that states: "please use your PlayStation 3 controller and go to Video >> iMediaShare >> Videos >> Now playing.
- Poke the OK button
- Slide to the video menu
- Slide down and you should see iMediaShare Lite with your iPhone name after it.
- Press the X button
- Slide down to the Videos folder and press the X button.
- You are greeted with all the available video options listed in the iMediaShare iPhone application.
- Find Now Playing and press the X button.
- You should see all the videos from your iPhone Camera Roll listed
- Scroll to the Video you want to share and press the X button.
- Your video will begin to play!!!!
Stay tuned for more of my PS3 media sharing adventures!
No, not so easy. Tried all this and so much more but for some reason the damn PS3 will not come up as an option on the app. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteMake sure the PS3 is turned on and verify the Media Server connection is enabled.

This has nothing to do with my internet connection at home. As I type this, I still can't sign in on PSN, but I can hop on my computer to Blogger and type this. This is an issue with Play Station, not me. best ps4 games
ReplyDeleteYou have to make sure you WiFi is on and linked up to the same network as the ps3 is on.
ReplyDeleteI can see my music but it won’t let me play my music videos let alone control the app Hulu. The is no “cast” button in my Hulu app once it’s open either. Can someone help with this?
