HOLD ON!!! So what are you saying? Are you telling me that you are viewing and listening to music and videos located on you home PC, with using the PSP wirelessly?

Yes its quite easy when you know how it works.

I use Apache 2.2 as the server on my PC. Works well and is easy to use. http://www.apache.org/

Then you just have to create a .XML file, direct it to your MP3s or .MP4 videos (they must be in the correct format though). Just use the Sony XML and change the text and links.

It basically works like this

The negative is that you have to create a ITEM entry for each file, but I'm sure there is software out there that can do it for you.

When your done open up the .XML in your PSPs browser (for example http://192.168.0.2/rss.xml ) and it will ask you if you wish to add it to the RSS folder.

Note: MP3s can be streamed or saved to the MemoryStick, videos can not be streamed, they must be downloaded.

You can also do it another way. Use iTunes to setup playlists then find the iTunes RSS server software somewhere on the net. Not too hard but its hard to stream ALL of your music because the PSP can only see 100 music files at a time.

Trying it now.. Thanks!

I have a confession to make. This firmware upgrade along with Tekken DR has made me fall in love with my PSP all over again. All these video podcasts to watch combined with the absolute greatest technical achievement ever on a handheld... It's just too much, I can't take my hands off the dang thing.

There is a PSP script called Radiccio or something that was linked from a thread here a while ago which i use. it works great, just use the Apache webserver set up like above, then install a php preprocessor (shouldn't be too difficult to figure out), then enter your music folder in the config file, make your music folder readable to your webserver and you can browse your entire music library - sorted by folder (ie. album if you have a seperate folder for each album), and load which ever folder into RSS Channel as you wish.

with some fairly preliminary knowledge of PHP (or just guess work ) you can also modify it to support video and images from your computer, works great (as long as the output XML matches the sample ones Sony has), but i really don't see a point to that since its more convenient to just go to your computer in those cases since you can't really stream it, but have to wait for the PSP to download it instead :/

just search for Radiccio in Google and you should get something.

oh, and there is not 100 track limit or whatever with this method

Where and how do you download the Apache 2.2 webserver software? I can't find the right location to download it.

http://httpd.apache.org/

Click Download from the left side, and then choose whichever version is right for you. If you don't know what to get and are running Windows, then go for the Win32 Binary version.

any import gaming centric podcasts / video feeds?


any other feed reccomendations besides whats already been mentioned earlier?

is there any way to get the psp to view RSS newscasts?

is there a good RSS feed for psp wallpaper (the demo feed had downloadable images)?
