Video/Pod Casts.

Since I only recently set up WiFi in my house, its the first proper time I've used my psp wirelessly (had it since September 2005, day after it launched in the UK, cause I'm cool ) and I must say I'm rather impressed. Initially the RSS thing was a little confusing, but once I got my head round it I've begun to enjoy it much more. Being honest I never really considered the psp as a truely "multimedia" device until now, but since I can stream podcasts straight to it, and download videocasts too its all started to come together.

Hunting round means I've found all sorts of things that people have put up on RSS streams, especially in terms of video content. My favourite so far has been finding the Happy tree friends video cast, every single episode for free! I know there are all sorts of video cast lists about, I was just wondering whether anybody wanted to add them here as gleaming examples (podcasts too)

Also, has anybody found anything new using the RSS thing? I've seen things that allow you to stream MP3s from your computer, but they look far too complicated for a "noob", don't even mention the word homebrew...

I love the RSS feature. There a ton of good video podcasts that I enjoy watching at work.

I too have recently set up WiFi in my house but for the life of me, find it impossible to get my psp to connect..............any hints or tips / settings / screen shots that would help.

I know it'll be awesome when I do connect, just frustrated that I can't for the time being.

Appreciate any advice.

Tks

Hi soulmaster, it is a bit of a bitch (especially for the non-techno minded like myself). I don't know how far you are so I'll guide you how I did mine (from both sides):

Comp side:

Set up the router as per instructions. Note down what security encryption you put on with the router (they're called: WEP, WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA (AES) ). The encryption thing takes the form of a number that you choose. Make a note of it. Also make sure you know the name with which the router shows itself as, mine shows as DLINK_WIRELESS, but I think you can change it if you wish.

PSP side:

Scroll over to Settings. Then to the bottom of that: Network Settings. Infrastructure mode. Then click on [New Connection]. It *should* scan a bit, and find your wifi being broadcasted. Mine shows as DLINK_WIRELESS. Next go along to WLAN Security setting. Here select which encryption you put in on the router (WEP etc). Then put in the number that you made a note of earlier, and go. If that's all working select easy address settings and scroll on through. It'll then test the connection, and should work.....

Sorry hoped that helped didn't mean to be patronizing.
