Homebrew coder DickyDick1969 has just announced that the PiMPStreamer homebrew application has been updated to version 0.83. For the guys wondering what this application does, PiMPStreamer is a PC-based application that allows users to stream video and MP3 files to their PlayStation Portables. It's also recently been updated to stream videos for the PlayStation 3's (PS3) and Nintendo Wii's browsers, with this latest version carrying MP3 support for these two consoles.

In case this is your first time using the application, here are the setup instructions: Install to PC, run PiMPStreamer, configure Opera (or the PS3 browser) to the PC's IP address at port 3333 (configurable).

Also added to version 0.83 is a set volume and play/pause function, which DickyDick1969 says can be activated by clicking on the application's little hat icon. Lastly, the author also reminds PSP owners to use the PSP binaries, not the browsable FLV streamer.

The PC and PSP installers await below for your downloading pleasure. Make sure to view the file README for the PSP version for proper installation instructions, usage details, and changelog lists. Enjoy!

Tada! DickyDick1969 updated PiMPStreamer to v0.80, which has no new features for one of the best free streaming solutions for the PSP... but lucky you if you have a PS3 or Wii in the living room! DickyDick1969 says he's extended PiMPStreamer into a fully HTTP-browsable wireless FLV video streamer, tested on a Wii.

He hasn't tested it yet, but he believes you can also use FLV-capable PocketPCs with this build. And a response to Dicky's blog says that he's also tried it on the PS3 browser, something Dicky didn't mention, and it worked nicely there - although he's asking for a video size option in a future build, since the PS3 can support higher resolutions than the Wii. Good point, too.

Basic instructions: install to PC, run PiMPStreamer, configure Opera (or the PS3 browser) to the PC's IP address at port 3333 (configurable), go forth and multiply.

Basic warnings: since this is a new feature, there may be some inevitable bugs to deal with. DickyDick1969 will be happy to hear of detailed bug reports via mail (check the source link for more info). Also, Dicky was only able to test with a wireless Wii, and is rather worried that the Wii's limited memory capacity will be enough to handle really long FLVs.

Hey - we've all enjoyed PiMPStreamer on the PSP, right? Now you can't lug around a PS3 (or even a Wii) and the TV around the house for portable media viewing... but hey, do the math:

(PiMPStreamer) + (PS3 or Wii) + (Living room couch) + (mood lighting) + (sappy chick flick) + (girlfriend of your dreams) = (the perfect Valentine evening).*

TOO BAD IT'S MARCH.
