Unable to share the media between WMP and PS3

Madrid · 07-02-2009, 12:26 PM

I am trying to share the media using Windows Media Player to my PlayStation 3, but I am unable to share. It was working fine, but suddenly don’t know what happened. I tried turning off the firewall, but still cannot share. In PlayStation 3, I am getting the only message as “No media servers found”. What to do now?

Click on Start and type Services.msc in the Search box and hit Enter. In the Services console, check whether “Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service”, “UPnP Device Host”, and “SSDP Discovery” services are running or not. If not, then start all the three services and try again to share the media. It will work.
