I have managed to view pictures on the PS3, went into the the settings for the Buffalo Linkstation, in Extensions / MediaServer then Modify Settings I changed the media server folder option from share to Photos, tried viewing the folder Photos on my PS3 and all my pictures are there. This is good but that's the only folders files I can view, for instance the files inside the Video folder on the NAS I still can't see on the PS3 unless I go into the media server folder option again and select the folder Video, I can then see my video files on the PS3 but not the files inside the Photos folder, if you get what I mean.
I have 5 Shared Folders on my NAS (Shared Folders / Folder Setup), info and shared were already on my NAS and 3 that I've created Music, Photos and Video (just so happens these are the same as the 3 folders on my PS3).
If I copy all my pictures and video files into the share folder and then select the share folder in the media server folder option my PS3 still doesn't see the files??? It only sees the files in 1 of the 3 folders I've created myself depending on which one I select in the media folder option??? Looks like I'll just need to create a folder called Media Server and dump all my video and JPEG folders/files in there and then select the new folder called Media Server in the NAS's media folder option. I don't need to dump all my music files in there as I play my music through my Sonos. No idea why it wont see the files in the share folder, checked the set up of this folder and exactly the same as the 3 folders I created, created them a while ago but pretty sure I copied the share folder at the time and renamed it each time. I'll let you know how I get on.
