Linux mediaserver for playstation3

I recently bought a playstation 3 to replace my xbox (first edition). This system contains a 40gb disk, but I wanted to stream everything over my network, because my server has a bigger disk . At first sight, I expected only a shared media library of Windows Media Player could give me the pleasure to function as a mediaserver, but I was wrong. Happily after all, I discovered the tool "MediaTomb", which is an UPnP ( Universal Plug 'n Play ) mediaserver for Linux. I did not yet installed it, but I will install it within a couple of days... So I'll keep you updated on my experiences...

For the people who want to install MediaTomb follow the following URL :

Note - If you have a Microsoft Xbox 360 or Xbox 1 , this tool will also work for you!

Update: Initially I had some problems to make it work correctly ( I happen to get some "Unsupported data" errors while I tried to open the files). If you have this same problem, read the following post:
