PS3 Media Server - Image 1 PS3 Media Server - Image 2


PS3 Media Server app is a DLNA compliant uPnP media server for the PS3. You can stream or transcode pretty much any kind of media file with it. Developer shagrath has added a lot of changes and features in this release, so we're gonna go straight to the changelog here.

Changes / Features
  • Customize encoding parameters (along with default ones) for any given container/codec/property combination (purpose: A/V sync, playback issues, and tweaking for advanced users)
  • Ability to select networking interface
  • OSX 10.4 Tiger support (Intel only)
  • Settings reorganization
  • M4V now streamed by default, you have to enter the #Transcoded# folder to force the transcode (like AVI files)
  • WMA now transcoded by default
  • Italian localization
  • WINDOWS ONLY: Use (only with 720p/1080p H264 content) an experimental mencoder build for multicores
  • New OSX icon (thanks to Jakob Karlsson)
  • Added a "Skip/Force transcode extensions" option added if default settings don't suit you
  • Possibility to only remux AC3 audio tracks and not reencoded them
Fixes
  • Default platform charset issue
  • Transcode buffer optimization on Windows
  • Application crash on Windows when too many widechars filenames were parsed
  • Audio tracks sorted by track number (if present) in media library
  • Better filenames/subtitles management (m2ts/ts/dvr-ms issues, comas, widechars, etc.)
  • External subtitles not always loaded, again
  • DVD images are listed in the media library
  • Fixed RSS parsing for Youtube and maybe other feeds
  • AviSynth / VideoLAN not always detected on Vista 64bits
  • Unavailable engines exclusion on OSX/Linux
  • Fixed console mode on Linux

And this is good why?
It does what WMP11 does.

Maybe ok for Mac users but no use to Windows users

 » Actually...

This thing played my MKV files, and played my srt subs with a movie. It's actually three times better than WMP11. It actually let's you choose which of your cpu's Encoders to use, letting you chosse the fastest, or just use the default. This thing plays HD MKV files!!!!!

 » thank you!

Because it made a mess out of my system, I don't use or even want to have WMP11 anywhere near my XP so I couldn't get anything from my computer to my PS3 to work...Until now! Installation was a snap, PS3 found the server with no problem and now I have full access of my hard drives through the Playstation---so, Thank You! Thank you very much!
