Google Desktop 5 doesn't support 64 bit Vista yet. Hence, I can't test the Google Media Server. Shame. Common Google... please add the support for 64 bit.

I could not find any media to share (no option is available) so I am uninstalling this program...

I have downloaded Google Media server on my PC and streaming the content on TV. I have placed some content(like MPEG2, PEG, MP3, H264, WMV9, MP4) on Desktop of PC and viewing the contents on TV via Google server - Desktop and I am able to view MPEG2, JPEG, MP3 contents on TV but not able to see MP4, H264, WMV9 files. So please let me know whether Google server supports MP4, WMV9, H264 files and can be viewed via Desktop of Google server.

This is genius! As the guy says below, it works great with a PS3. Not tried it with anything else. I can now watch the movies, listen to music, see the photos I have on my laptop wirelessly through the tv. I'm still looking for a way to add files directly but I'm sure it's there somewhere. Needs a friendlier, picasa-like interface but then again it is alpha. If we're going down the media server route, can we have a tool to record tv next please?! Please? Superb! : )

eh... not so hot. Doesn't use tags for music file info including album art, just file names. TVersity uses the tags. I rely heavily on tags so this doesn't work for me. I figured I could use it with Picasa, but the media server isn't recognizing any of my albums. May be some Picasa setting I'm don't see. Dunno. If anyone does, please post. Thanks.

I am unable to share a directory, it is impossible to undertand how the program works. I prefer another program: Java PS3 Media Center.

Ubuntu please!!

It works really well, i found using Internet Explorer to login to the admin control works better than trying with google chrome. Also goto the google home page and find a video (sign out) then click favourite and follow the links to link your account with your google account and you can get it working!

I installed Google Desktop so I could install the media server for my ps3 and the thing won't even open.

a mac version should be a no brainer today

Serving to PS3 from win xp. Couldn't get to work. Turned it off. Now trying to reactivate and get a message, "Google Media Server is not properly installed. Do you want to close this gadget?" If i answer yes it is removed.. answer no, its still there and still doesn't work (i can't activate it). How do I either repair or uinstall? Attempting to add again from 'Add gadgets' returns to same circle jerk.

This gadget will not find any of my media folders such as My Music and My Pictures. Dont bother with this alpha.

Rich

Very strange! Sometimes it finds the video content and other times it says there are no files there? have only ever got through half a video before it says that the content is no longer available! hope this gets fixed soon!

There is nothing for me to add under the desktop setting to add flies to the server?? ???

Super sweet beta. This app works great with Playstation 3.

Make sure your firewall is either off, or you open the port or you will not be able to get to the admin page (XP anyways)
