Streaming iplayer downloads to PS3?

Hi guys, does any one know if this is supported by the PS3 using WMP library sharing or if you need to use TVersity or something similar?

 

When I search for the file I downloaded using the PS3 I can't even see the folder that it is stored in!! 

 

I'm only using WMP to share my media and am using a netgear router. 

 

I hate having to watch the downloads on my laptop and streaming them on the PS3 browser is pretty shocking!! 

 

Cheers

iPlayer videos are DRM'd so you won't be able to play them on the PS3.

You can probably download them in WMV format then remove the DRM if you really want to, but I'm guessing the picture quality won't be the best.

The BBC are going to fully support the PS3 soon anyway (including all the new HD content they've just stuck up on iplayer last week).
