Title: Can PS3 somehow play back FLACs wirelessly?
Post by: acidjack on February 15, 2010, 12:47:58 PM

I guess that's my question. Was thinking squeezebox but if the PS3 can do it, that would save me a box. I'm on a mac, if that makes any difference.

Yes, but you gotta use a program like tversity or ps3 media server.

I'm at the point where I want to just run a cable.. wifi works, but could be quicker... YMMV depending on how close your router is to the PS3.

i've been using this to wirelessly stream concert video from my pc. don't know that it supports gapless play back for FLAC.

we were just discussing this on another forum:

I've been using ps3 media server on xp for awhile, download combined community codec for your PC and you will be straight for all playback, I suggest having the computer hard wired to the ps3 for the HD play back, wireless just doesn't cut it. The downfall for the media server is that it doesn't support gapless audio playback, and it won't play dts audio files. The website says dts is supported but I have had no luck, tried for an entire Saturday with various chords/connections/settings and couldn't get it to work.

oh, and to get PS3 media server working, i only had to tweak 2 settings:
-enable UPNP
-forward port 5001 on my wireless router
