It also picks up on our NAS Hard drive where we store our photos, videos, and music

How do you do that? I have a PS3 and I would like to do the same. Thanks.

I have a WD MyCloud NAS drive that is cabled directly into my wireless router. My PS3 happens to be right next to my router, so I have that cabled via ethernet as well (to ensure max bandwidth). Then in the PS3, there is a feature you can select that says something like "scan for media servers". When the scan is complete, it should pick up your NAS. Then you connect to it via the PS3 and it will do a scan of the drive and catalog your media by folder, artist, album, etc.

It's been a while since I hooked it up. But I think when you set up the NAS, you may have to enable an option that tells it to act as a media server. I can't remember, but that option may have come enabled by default.

Here are some instructions from the PS3 site that might help.

It's one of my favorite features with the PS3 by the way. I don't play video games that often any more. But the media server connection is fun when you have a few friends over for adult beverages. You can load up some tunes with the PS3 and play them over your surround sound or TV audio.

If you have a computer connected to your network with Windows Media Center, I think you can even find that with your PS3 and stream from it without a dedicated NAS. Never tried it that way though.
