 **Very Important:​** When putting media on a removable device (USB) for playback on the PS3, there must be a ''​VIDEO''​ directory at the root level of the filesystem. ​ The PS3 ignores all other files out there. ​ I only found that out because I copied a downloaded video from PSN to a USB stick, and noticed it created that.  I hadn't been able to get it to play back any videos before than. **Very Important:​** When putting media on a removable device (USB) for playback on the PS3, there must be a ''​VIDEO''​ directory at the root level of the filesystem. ​ The PS3 ignores all other files out there. ​ I only found that out because I copied a downloaded video from PSN to a USB stick, and noticed it created that.  I hadn't been able to get it to play back any videos before than.

-A working HandBrake ​PS3 preset:+==== PS3 DLNA Playback Support ==== 
 + 
 +All these are tested using ''​minidlna''​ v1.2.0. 
 + 
 +Video: 
 + 
 +  * DVD VOB (without VOBSUB only; with CC will playback fine, but without subtitles) 
 +  * DVD VOB M2TS 
 +  * H264 AAC MP4 
 +  * H264 Dolby TrueHD M2TS (Blu-ray) 
 + 
 +Bleh. I lost interest in documenting all of this, I'm sure it at least supports what's available on the [[Sony Blu-ray Players]] though. I can say for certain though that it //does not// stream VC1 or support playback on USB or its HDD. MPEG2 does work though. 
 + 
 +Audio: 
 + 
 +  * MP3 
 +  * WAV 
 + 
 +The PS3 will do one of two things if it can't play back an audio file with a certain codec -- either display "​Unsupported Data" on the file itself, or if it's the only file in the directory, it will say "There are no tracks"​. 
 + 
 +For video, it may error out in a few more situations. It may show the video icon when first browsing a directory, but when going to playback, will display "The data type is not supported"​ screen, and then change the icon in the directory to the "​Unsupported Data" one.
  
-<code xml> +I ran into one combination where the player starts, but the PS3 stops -- a DVD in .MPGI could stop the PS3 with the PS button, but that was itIt crankily beeps at me a few times when I do (also sometimes).

-Mediainfo for a PS3 video downloaded from PSN:+For resume playback on DLNA, the PS3 will remember last play point on all files it had been playing during the same power-on session. It does not remember them after a restart.
  
-<code properties>​ +Amazingly, the PS3 will let you copy a file straight from a DLNA server to its hard drive!!!!! I managed to copy a Blu-ray I'd ripped on my desktop over to the PS3 this way. :)
