I have an PS3 here running a live stream from wowza. Is there someone with some more experience with STBs or gameconsoles and Wowza? ---

Gameconsoles could, and probably will be, an interesting market for IP streaming. See also Playon, and the initiatives from Netflix and others to get on the PS3, Wii and XBOX. ---

I’ve also tried to stream to the PS3, is your video also stuttering? (1280x720, H.264 with 2,5Mbit/s and JW Player) I think it’s a problem of the flash implementation on the playstation… It would be nice to know if there are settings where it runs smooth. ---

I have not done any stream to the PS3 nor do I own one. So I am not much help here. Charlie ---

900 kb/s is just too big for many internet connections. Stuttering confirms that in your case. Between 400 and 500 kb/s is considered optimal if you have to choose one, if you are not doing bandwidth checking (or dynamic streaming using Wowza Advanced Server 2) Richard ---

It’s my information (no experience) that on PS3 you have to use an html page with object and/or embed tag pointing to swf, the same as you would on a web server. Richard ---

Same problem here, h264@900kbps, full D1 and JWplayer. Video plays not completely smooth. ---

Bandwidth isn’t the problem - the playstation is connected over a dedicated gbit line to the streaming server - and youtube videos are also stuttering… ---

Sorry to kick up such an old topic, but how do you configure the PS3 to actually play the stream? I’ve used rtmp://serveraddress/application/instance but it doesn’t seem to do anything. ---

I already have the latest firmware. When I type in the url as described above it doesn’t do anything. If I load up the page which actually has the flash player running it says Application not supported or something similar… ---
