Problem to Share Windows Media Center with PS3

Ketan Patel — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 05:06:59 +0000

If you, like me, want to share the media from your PC/Laptop with PS3 and were unsuccessful then this blog post will help you out.

Its quite simple and you don’t need to install any 3rd party software to do so. This post assumes you have Windows OS and the PC & PS3 are on same private network. It’s only 2 step process:

On the PC with the media content, you will have to add all the folders with media to the Media Library.
After you have added, then open up ‘Windows Media Player’ and you have to enable Automatically allow all devices and computers to have access to your media.

Once you have successfully followed the two steps above, visit your PS3 and make sure you have ‘Media Server Connection’ checked in ‘Settings’. After that, you should be able to see your PC-name and browse the media library.

As always, if this post helped you solve the problem, please leave a comment or donate if you will to keep me motivated.

Thanks,
Ketan

Unable to load dynamic library php_mysql.dll

Ketan Patel — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 02:37:51 +0000

While trying to setup Apache, PHP and MySql on your development machine or server, you may face several hurdles and one of them would be unable to load the mysql library. On my windows development machine, I got a problem while trying to load mysql library. I got following error:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘./php_mysql.dll’ – The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

The problem is two fold here:

The extension directory path is incorrect
And php module isn’t able to find libmysql.dll

To resolve the issue:

Update ‘extension_dir’ from ‘./’ to ‘G:/Server/php/ext/’
Update the ‘PATH’ variable on your computer to include the PHP directory (G:\Server\php) in my case.

Hope this will save you time and trouble of finding a proper solution.

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library php_openssl.dll

Ketan Patel — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:09:12 +0000

You might get the error: “PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library php_openssl.dll. The operating system cannot run %1“, when you are trying to start the apache server in the error.log file.

Basically what this error is trying to mention that there is an issue with your php_openssl.dll and a possible mismatch with other depending libraries. To resolve this, follow the below steps:

1. Rename ‘ssleay32.dll’ and ‘libeay32.dll’ in c:\windows\system32 to ‘ssleay32.dll.old’ and ‘libeay32.dll.old’ respectively.

2. Copy ‘ssleay32.dll’ and ‘libeay32.dll’ from your PHP folder to the system32.

3. Restart the apache webserver.

This should get your problem sorted!!
