Also - something i just found
http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/The PS3 java media Server, allows you to share your folders to the playstation very easily, and allows you to play odd files (this thing blows TVersity away in reliability and ease of use) like my .mkv downloaded japanese animae and stuff, it runs at same time as PlayON as well, so it kicks a bit of ass imo, I've caught the streaming video bug. I was able to share my folder with my 300 some odd naruto files and with a few codecs added, played like a charm.
I will say if you have the xbox the Xbox+netflix is a lot better then Playon+ps3+netflix, the PS3 doesnt have that good of buffer ram fpr streaming and the search/scan features suck you can go normal speed 1.5 speed and 10x speed, but you run it out of buffer and it hangs and you have to redo, its quite silly, theres no 2x 4x speed. So some understanding and patience is in order, but you don't have to pay a monthly fee, and I dont have an xbox360.
codec packs if your a video pirate, or a insane odd video file downloaded (aka animae junkie) IMO its not pirating if i can not buy it in US and most likely never will be able to!.
Install FFDshow FIRST then install the MKV one, this will cover almost any codec you need to play files over Playon, TVersity, PS3 Media Center, Windows Media Center
FFDSHOW

And the video quality isnt as good cause it uses its own codecs > faster better ones the other media centers will attempt to use first
