Google launches Google Media Server, stream to you PS3 and more

Google is going after the TV, with the launch of it’s Windows-only Google Gadget, the Google Media Server. Finding photos, music and video, Google Media Server makes content from your PC available over your network to DLNA devices, such as the Playstation 3 and most Media Center PCs. Unfortunately at this time the Xbox 360 (or Nintendo Wii), though supporting DLNA, is not supported due to signing issues. According to a Google Media Server developer comment, Google Legal did not allow developers to ‘trick’ the Xbox 360 into believing the GMS was signed (for DRM purposes) into believing it were a Microsoft Product, though the developer pointed out there were ways around the internet to achieve this on your own.
