Haven't had any trouble but you can try going into Common transcode setting - general settings - Boost up your Cores to the max for your CPU and could prob mess around with buffer size. If it helps mine is set at 400.0 and 8 cores.

If I remember mp4 files use to skipfew yrs ago what files are you trying to stream.

Hi: I have a quad core which it has already detected,will set the 400 was at 600(the limit) what if any problems would I cause dropping the buffer to say 300 if 400 doesn't cut it?

I'm trying to stream wav files? Would converting files to say mp3's at say 320 help? Totally perplexed??Thanks for your help!!!

Check your router speed, the configuration of the PS3, here it runs smoothly with the PS3/X360.

But when I'm doing something that uses complete the PC's power, the icon tends to not appear, or it takes a bit too long.

Note: It's called PS3 Media Server not "PS-3 Media Server".

For transcoding you should worry if you got the right hardware, but for streaming files that PS3 reads natively there's nothing to bother about.

Hi: How would I check router speed? Never had to before thanks!

I had a similar problem. I solved it by changing the setting on my PS3, go to the music settings on menu then go to output frequency and set it at 44.1/88.2/176.4 khz. See if that works.
