Playing movies on my Mac on a PS3

    I am a PS3 newbie, so sorry if this is a stupid question.

    I would like to play movie files on my MacBook Air on my tv via my PS3. I read that EyeConnect is a good app for doing that, so I installed it.

    With EyeConnect, I was able to play music from my MacBook... cool.

    However, when I try to play video files, the PS3 doesn't seem to detect the .mp4 files I have in my movies folder on my Mac. Instead, I just see a bunch of folders that I have in my movies folder on.

    I would be very grateful if you could let me know what I should do. Should I be able to play .mp4 files on my PS3?

    I use PS3 Media Server to stream from my Mac to PS3, and it works a treat. Even handles those dastardly 10-bit files some people have become particularly fond of.

    It might take a little bit of tinkering with to get working properly, so make sure you follow the instructions exactly and work from there. But if you're lucky it will be a relatively painless process.
