I have been streaming downloaded movies to PS3 for a while now but suddenly the new movies that I downloaded don't work. It comes up with an error that reads "Media Server Error: A network error has occurred. (00000000). I am currently using Windows 7 have only started having this problem within the last couple days.

Is the folder the videos are in shared? – Blomkvist May 5 '11 at 17:13

What are you using to stream? What format are the movies in? What video codec is used? – ngen May 5 '11 at 19:21

The majority of the time this error comes up because the folder they're in isn't shared. Occasionally though it can be caused by windows media player losing sync with device. If the latter is the case you just need to resync it.

An even less likely culprit is the firewall. Some people will tell you to turn it off but this is NOT necessary. Just check it make sure sharing is properly enabled.

How would I go about resyncing it? The new movies are in the same folder as the old movies and the old movies play fine....its just the new movies that don't. – Paul May 5 '11 at 17:24
Click on your library tab and then click on sync.you should then see an icon in the box that says "unknown device". Click on it and allow the connection. More troubling though is that the old movies STILL play. – Blomkvist May 5 '11 at 17:28
Where is the library tab? Is it on the computer or on the playstation? – Paul May 5 '11 at 18:11
It's in media player on your PC. – Blomkvist May 5 '11 at 18:13
I don't see the library tab in my media player. Maybe I have a different version? – Paul May 6 '11 at 2:04
