Is PS3 remote play reliable?

[Atariboy]

Keeps locking up every 20-30 minutes on two different PSP's. No PS3 issues outside of this, so I think the hardware is fine.

 

Any advice? It has some cool features I'm enjoying, like watching Hulu and YouTube off my PSP (The PSP's browser can't natively do it), and playing PSOne titles. But its just too unreliable. Possible interferance? Or does it just not work that well?

Why not try out PSPTube for Youtube on PSP? I've been using it for months, and it's awesome. It can surf to several different sites besides YouTube.

I don't know enough to feel safe installing custom firmware.

Where are you using remote play from? Inside your house?

 

May be a network issue. What kind of router are you using?

 

I have not had any problems. I think its an excellent feature.

Inside my house 1 room away from my router, with the PS3 hard wired to the router. The router is some combination router/modem that the cable company provided, not completely sure what model it is, but its been pretty reliable for my PC's and consoles.

 

Also have connected directly to the PS3 from both of my PSP's, avoiding my network completely. So i think that part can be removed from the equation.

 

I've had several issues so far, have you ever tried watching Hulu on yours? Both times its happened so far, i think I was streaming video from www.hulu.com. So I'm leaning toward there perhaps being a issue streaming Flash 9 content?

Hulu is no problem for me. I have never been disconnected from remote play while using my own network.

 

Strange....

Works well for me.

 

In fact, last weekend I was playing PixelJunk Monsters on my PSP in the car while my wife was Christmas shopping in Bed - Bath - Beyond. Not a problem did I encounter.
