Re: Mount Droid to a PS3?

Good thought. I figured early on that the video would be trouble so I've concentrated on pictures and MP3s. I copied a picture to the sdcard's root and no luck. I also tried the DCIM folder under the root as if it was a camera flash card but nothing yet.

I think I'll play around a bit more with other types of USB storage (such as camera cards) and see what works and what doesn't. Thanks for the reply.

EDIT: I did just try plugging my digital camera card into the PS3 using a USB reader and it acts the same as the mounted Droid so I guess this is not a Droid issue and I need to learn more about the PS3.

EDIT2: Sorry to use up a thread. I found that the PS3 uses a specific directory structure:

>>>Create a folder system identical to that on the Playstation 3 by creating folders labeled "Picture" (not Photo), "Music", "Video" and "Game".<<<

I copied a picture to a newly created Picture folder and the remounted and the PS3 found it. Case closed.
