Do it on your PS3.

When you find something that you want from your 323, you can copy it to the PS3 and add it to a playlist.  I'm not sure the PS3 allows you to make a playlist from UPnP sources.  I'd turn on my PS3, but Extreme Home Makeover is a huge tearjerker at the moment... I can barely see the laptop, lol.

Anotherway to do it is put the videos in the same directory on whatever device, your network or ps3

then in the setup options there is an option called Play next file automatically, click yes and then it just scrolls through the files as they play.  Sorry I cant remember exactly where it is b/c im at work but its in the settings menu

Its on the PS3 systems area, sorry Im at work still, I will check tonight if you dont figure it out

All files must be in the same directory for this to work

make sure the UPNP is checked on both the PS3 and the DNS 323 so that the PS3 can see the dns323

hey coxwain, that is perfect, that worked ... now that isn't good enough, do you know if there is a way to make it play randomly vs sequential?

yes
Remame your songs and put random numbers at the front of them so the sort order will be different
Really this is a work around esentially createing a playlist
