do you need a pc to stream it

Btw I already set it up so I can view every file on my computer from my PSP through WiFi, I streamed some mp3s and photos, but whenever I go to select an mp4, nothing happens. How does it work?

I've pretty much got all of it figured out. It's very easy, actually, but might seem overwhelming at first glance.

I see all of you are having trouble with the streaming MP4s. First off AVC MP4s will NOT work! This is because when you emulate the XMB it is a 1.5 XMB, and thus can't play AVC videos. Also, you CANNOT stream an MP4 just by clicking on it. You have to emulate the XMB first. Here's how to do the whole thing by using nethost (as opposed to usbhost):

Download and extract "Network Host File System Server (Windows Version)" on the download page of http://ahman.co.nr.

Put the nethostfs.exe and the cygwin1.dll from the download in the folder that the MP4 you want to stream is.

Now, here is the important step. Inside the folder that you just put the 2 files from the download in, you have to make a new folder called MP_ROOT. Inside the MP_ROOT folder, make another new folder called 100MNV01. Put your MP4 in this folder (MP_ROOT/100MNV01), and make sure it is named correctly (M4V#####.MP4 where the #s are any numbers).

Go back to the directory that USED to have your MP4 and now has the 2 files from the download as well as the MP_ROOT directory. Open nethostfs.exe and just leave it there.

Now you're done with the PC setup. On the PSP, load iR Shell, and go to the Configurator (R+Start). Go to the one that's asking for your net host IP Address and change it to your local IP. (You're local IP can be found by going to Start-->Run and then typing command. Then in the command prompt, type ipconfig, and find the one that says IP Address--that's your local IP).

Then make sure you are using the right connection in the next configurator option (1 is your first connection, 2 is second, etc.) Save and exit the configurator by pressing O.

Now push L+Analog-Down to connect to the nethost. Once the WiFi initiates, push L+Analog-Right. That will switch your net host to now be your ms0:/ (your memory stick). Now push L+D-pad-Up to emulate the XMB.

Head over to videos and your video should be there if you did everything correctly.

I hope this helps people who were having trouble streaming their MP4s over WiFi.

I have NOT tried USB host, so I can't help you there. However, it should be pretty much the same, but you have to use different key combinations which can be found in the ReadMe.

If you guys are still having problems, or have other questions, please tell me, and I will try to help out.

Thanks for that, I'm trying it out now.

no, you can float your psp down a stream of water.

for any one who was having problems this may be a possible solution. Even though only have one connection profile on my PSP I changed the " XMB Network Config Entry For NetHost:" value to "2" and it worked.

Did you read my post? Also, what exactly are you having trouble with? My post above is just for streaming .mp4s, but it also covers how to get the nethost setup. Streaming everything else is pretty easy (you just push X on it, assuming it is playable by iR Shell or one of the plugins).

Also, Harshboy, you can play GTA on 1.5 with DevHook.
