... to fix the errors on high-speed links. They blamed everything - the network, Sony breaking PS3 software et cetera. And finally - surprise! - the issue turned out to really IN the MediaLink...
Oh, well - a little too late: I'm guessing most people have switched to other solutions by now...

MediaLink 1.72 promised a lot and I looked forward to what was offered.
Running the program from my MacBook Air (X 10.5) and through a 300mps router to my PS3 I expected great things.
Upon installing the software it was really up to my intuition to figure how it functions. I found the program in 'systems preferences' at the bottom. Upon clicking the 'Start' button the MediaLink tab quickly appeared in my PS3 menus. Very impressive, I could browse through my Mac files easily... That's where it stops!!!
Loading photos takes more than a moment and videos... bugger!!! The streaming video that was promised didn't deliver. Video would load and play, but it was broken and slow. I tried copying a 730mb .avi file to my PS3... what a waste of bloody time!
If they cure these streaming problems then I will be very happy to lay my cash down, but until then I'll be waiting!!! Chop, chop!

As normal keep a aback up version handy 1.71 broke LAN file transfers speed on my system it no longer runs at full speed data is transfered Slower. there seams to be a limit of the MAX data speed.
If 1.6 was working for you don't upgrade. if you have 1Gb/s router that was failing get the 1.71 update.

DLNA error - Version: 1.59, 1/16/2009 05:17AM PST

Works for 10 minutes using both wireless and ethernet and I get an DLNA error (2006). Anyone know what that is?

I've been using Nulriver MediaLink for about 2 months now. Installation was easy and trouble free, and once installed it just worked with my PS3 - no messing around needed.
It plays all of my music, including DRM-protected songs bought from the iTunes Store, and shows the album art on the screen. It gives access to playlists, including those generated by the new 'Genius' facility. The only criticism I have is it could be easier to select a specific song - they are alphabetical and it takes a while to scroll to something in the middle of the alphabet, but I think that's down to the interface Sony have provided on the PS3 rather than MediaLink.
Viewing photographs works fine, although it is a bit on the slow side. I found Elgato EyeConnect works faster, however it doesn't support iPhoto Events. Medialink does support events, so it's easy to find photos if you've got a large number like me. I get round the speed by pressing the 'next' button as soon as the photo loads, and usually by the time it has loaded I've finished looking at the last photo.
I haven't tried playing movies, so can't comment on that.
The software gives an alert that there's an update available when you open it (via system preferences), and links to the website to download the new version. One of the new versions didn't work and I had to roll-back to the previous version, but that's the only problem I've had.
If I log into the mac as myself, I get access to my music / photos on the PS3, and if we log in as another user we get access to their content instead.
My wishlist for the product is to stream internet radio to my PS3, I did find a product that allows this (not from Nulriver) but it was a program for techies not end users!
Overall, I'd say if you want easy to use media-streaming for your PS3, MediaLink is well worth the money.

Does not work - Version: 1.59, 8/28/2008 09:35AM PST

I have a G5 dual 2.7 ghz with 5 gig of RAM running 10.5.4. I've had great luck with all previous releases but this would not show up on my PS3 (which has the latest software updates). I used Time Machine to revert to an earlier version which works fine.

I have never been able to get this to properly play mp4 files or mp3 files from my iTunes library over my wireless network. Did a great deal of research and found a great deal of people having the same issue. I submitted multiple support requests, but never heard anything back. Don't waste your money.

I came to this after I got frustrated with EyeConnect. EyeConnect is decent, but the developers take sooo long to update it--there were numerous bugs in it that never got fixed for months. MediaLink, on the other hand, is updated constantly.
Great software, great price, and (so far) a great company. Keep it up guys.

The latest update 2.0A1 broke completely on my machine. I wasn't able to revert to the a working version.
I requested support and received no response. There isn't even any basic troubleshooting steps on their site.
I found the free PS3 Media Server. It just works and does transcoding too!
