Does ps3 have dlna?

im running linux mint 10 on one pc and backtrack 4 on the other. Can you tell me how you get XBMC media centre please? Cant find it in the software manager

cheers

I'm running Ubuntu, so I'm guessing it's similar. Here's the guide and the link:


Installing XBMC Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic or higher

If you are using Ubuntu 9.10 or higher, you have the option of a more streamlined install. Load the terminal window and issue the following:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-standalone
sudo apt-get update

In order to setup, you just need to follow this path:

Open XBMC > Videos> Add Source> Browse

Find the folder with the videos in and then press ok.

Now Everytime that XBMC is open and your PS3 is on at the same time, they will recognise eachother and if your DHD is on the same network it will see it too if you're using something like Twonky.

:cool:
