Sorry mate, I was a little bit rude because I was really pissed off x360 owners get to have a hack and we don't. The thing is that I bought my ps3 to be a complete solution. I wanted to play my games, all right, but I also wanted something that a friend of my that owned a modded Xbox (the original one) had for a long time. He would connect to his shared folders in his pc and just browse the files there and play directly on his tv, streaming from the network as if he was using a computer and accessing files over LAN, all due to his homebrew media player.
The thing is, softwares that stream content to the ps3 like the ps3 media server or Tversity, or nero they reencode the content on the fly and send them to the ps3. They give you 2 options : The first one is making an excessively high bitrated video that has almost lossless quality comparing to the original... But the bitrate is, as I stated, too high. Even a DVD that has a lot more bitrate than xvid or h264 files, has the capacity to be streamed untouched over a 15 - 20 Mbps wireless connection, working perfectly fine with no glitches.
But since these media servers increase the bitrate too much, you can't stream them untouched on the fly. The second option those encoders give ya is to degrade the quality so it can fit on my "tiny" wireless conection (I must state again that almost everything would fit this band perfectly if they weren't reencoded) and thay makes me sooooo mad you wouldn't believe.
So, as I said, I can't afford another video game console for the time being (and probably won't be able to for a long time).
So lets hope for ps3 hack soon all right? If It takes too long, well... it happens, doesn't it?
Cheers
