Great application, stable and user friendly, easily connect your mac to ps3.
This is a fantastic application, it makes it super easy to connect and stream anything from my mac to my TV that's connected to my PS3. I have my whole house wireless and can watch all my favorite and new content on my TV in high definition by simply turning on eye connect on my computer and my PS3 automatically see my movies, music and pictures folders. It plays back movies in various formats, avi and mp4 in 1080p wirelessly. I never had a problem with the application crashing, however if your internet connection is slow, or being throttled by your internet provider, it can affect the wireless reception, most internet providers claim that they are selling you a high speed internet with lots of bandwidth but you can quickly check the speed of your internet connection and realize that it is not what is advertised.

App has promise but don't expect support.
Decided to move media serving off of Vista onto a spare Mac (MacBook) to simplify things. I had EyeTV on another Mac (MacMini) that had been used as a media center, but had been shutdown.Things went like this...Install EyeConnect trial on MacBook. Configured and running okay. Streaming to LG BD390 and PS3. Did take a while after setup before media showed up on streaming devices, but ok.Exactly 30 days later no streaming. Since the MacMini wasn't being used I removed EyeTV from it and used the key for EyeConnect to activate. Seemed to be ok. Few days later did an update to the MacBook and when it came back up no activation.So I think maybe this serial only works with EyeTv. Ok, I go buy a license for standalone EyeConnect. A note here it took 2 days to get the serial for the purchase. That seemed absurd to me, nearly every online purchase I've made has sent the serial with a few hours (if not minutes).Okay after much negative from family, finally get serial installed and back up and running (again takes some time).Exactly 30 days later, nothing again. So I reinstall the code, looks okay. I go ahead and do some OS updates since the system is down-ish and when it comes back up, not activated. Rinse and repeat installing code.Finally after trying to find anything on Elgato's website I submit a ticket. As a note on the website, the FAQ is basically marketing content and nothing in the forums.Six days later (yep 6!!!) I get a response saying because of the holiday it would be at least another 5-6 days before my issue would be looked at.Unplug the MacBook and re-configure Vista......In all my years using Macs this is the worst example of product support I've ever seen. I consider my EyeConnect purchased flushed and Elgato has been placed on my "never again" list for purchase or recommendation.
Pros: Has promise and when it worked it was good
Cons: Stopped working too easily with no warning.Support is non-existant.

DLNA server.
Spent all day reading and downloading over a dozen DLNA severs that would work with my Mac and Sony DVD player, read about this one online, installed it and had it up and running flawlessly in minutes!
