    Tip: PS3 Video Thumbnails/UPNP-AV Servers

    Hi All, just thought I shared this little tip for those of you who may not know.

    If you want to have a thumbnail image of your movie files (.avi's) showing on your PS3 when using UPNP-AV servers, i.e. I am using a Netgear Stora device. Create an image and name it EXACTLY the same name as your movie file and copy it to the same folder as the movie file itself.

    You may need to stop/start DMA sharing to force an update on the PS3.

    I have only tried this with a .avi and .jpg file combination but others may work.

    Now when you scroll through your Media Server folders on your PS3, you will see the image instead of a standard PS3 type icon, I use one of the retail web sites to get small images of the DVD covers.

    Have fun
    Monty

    Cool tip. Thanks for posting it.
    I'll pass it along to my son who's 23.
    I can't afford one and I'm 60...
