Google Releases Media Server

Google has done it again -- the search engine giant has released a new service that covers yet another niche software area with the Google Media Server.

Google Media Server works in conjunction with Google Desktop on a Windows-based PC to stream media files to Universal Plug-a-Play devices which most notably includes the PlayStation 3, all near automatically.

The initial downside is that this program is currently only available for Windows users.

In addition to being able to hunt down and share video, music, and photo files, the Google Media Server has the capabilities to interact with Google's Picasa Web Albums as well as YouTube videos.

Download Google Media Server for yourself here, or check out more information at the official Google Desktop Blog.

i wish the youtube would stream more smoothly on my ps3 using the google media server. i'd rather use my ps3's browser to watch youtube videos. but hey, its a work in progress... at least it works!
