PiMPStreamer pimps your PSP.

Tired of demuxing/muxing videos to play with PMP Mod ? Or can't figure the head and tail of video transcoding ? Well, PiMPStreamer is here to help you overcome all your woes.
In DickyDick1969's own words, "I was tired of creating and demuxing my movies for the PSP. So, I pimped up PMP Mod and made a realtime streaming/scaling/demuxing Windows server."

Although configuring it requires a little bit (really tiny bit) of technical knowledge, once you're done, you won't have to mess around with video transcoding. Ever.

Here's the instructions :

Download PiMPStreamer from our download site below.
After downloading PiMPStreamer, extract the archive anywhere you want.
There will be 2 folders inside, Windows and PSP.
Go to PiMPSTREAM folder inside the PSP folder.
Edit the pmp.ini file using notepad. Change the URI in both sections to reflect your PC's IP address.
You can find out your PC's IP address by going to Command Prompt and typing "ipconfig"
After modifying and saving pmp.ini file, move the PiMPSTREAM and PiMPSTREAM% to your PSP. Your PSP is now ready to connect to your PC.
But wait, you still need your PC to respond to those requests. Inside the Windows folder, you will see a bunch of files.
Double-click on PimpStreamer.exe to start the server on your PC.
The program is pretty self-explanatory. In the movie path, enter the path to your movies' folder.
Change the bitrates according to the video you're watching.

There, now you can sit back and watch all your favorite movies anytime-anywhere without messing around with video transcoding, and without wasting precious space on your Memory Stick. If you have a little know-how of port-forwarding, you can actually stream your movies anywhere in the world ! To know more about port-forwarding, Click Here

to solve the video not found error, just put a .pmp file (create a text file and change the extension to .pmp) inside /psp/video folder... but it won't connect to my wireless... the wlan light doesn't even turn on :| . (1.5 psp)

Anyway when ths bugs are gone this will definitively be one o the best media players for the psp. good work.

# What does port forwarding do? — Guest 2006-03-31 01:35

I know how to do it and have done it for torrents but why can't i use this all over the world without doing so? If i can stream from the internet, then doesn't that mean i can already use it from anywhere in the world?

Also, which ports should be forwarded?

# nice1 — Guest 2006-03-31 01:35

hey, people having trouble with "slowness" do not run any unneeded programs when your streaming, also it could just be your computer is too slow, just a note, if you have a slow wifi router that cud be part of the problem

*****y*****1969, u have done something i was in the middle of trying to do (sort of in visual basic) props to you for succeding :)

# psp browsing — cyanide 2006-03-31 01:52

this site uses ajax partly...

maybe thats why your psp cant view it.

# forward — Guest 2006-03-31 01:54

port 3333

# ~install — Guest 2006-03-31 03:34

type in COMMAND "ipconfig", change ini file and just play!

# finalllt — Guest 2006-03-31 04:38

finally

thanks

# Streamer crash — Guest 2006-03-31 04:49

Everything seemed to work fine, until i select a video i want to stream and then the PimpStreamer on my windows xp pc crashes. Shows "error : "not 0 from pmp_read_audio_ get" Press X" on my PSP

# Samething — Guest 2006-03-31 05:44

Same thing happened to me. I went to stream and it looked like it was going to work but PIMPSTREAM on my PC just closed and nothing worked.

# ? — Guest 2006-03-31 06:04

i want to try it, but can anybody confirm if it works decently fast? oh, and can you browse your computer for movie files, or do they all have to be in one folder?? what formats does it support?

# A — Guest 2006-03-31 07:28

its very slow...they all movies have to be in one dir. and you can also change the dir in the program in window too. Overall Great progress..CONGRANTS....:)

# Eh? — Guest 2006-03-31 08:29

Does it work with wmv (windows media) files?

I have snapstream taping tv programs for me. Would be nice if I could watch them on my psp.

# nice thing but.... — Guest 2006-03-31 08:40

i can't get it to work i edited the pmp.ini but it says no video folder.... and the wifi led doesn't even turn on... whta am i doing wrong?

i would like to see a program that is able to stream winamp video shoutcasts...

# 0 item(s) — Guest 2006-03-31 09:11

i got it to work, im on the menu, but it doesn't show any of my movies. it says 0 item(s).

# LOOK! — Guest 2006-03-31 09:28

Everyone! if your psp says no video folder "ms0:psp/video" error, simply make that directory (if it isnt already made) and create a text document in it. Name it whatever u want. Change the extension(.txt), to .Divx.pmp. so it should look like this: "test.Divx.pmp"

If after that u still cant even see the list of files from ur pc, try changing the "con" and "debug" values in the .ini file in the pimpstream directory on ur mem stick. Make sure that the top set of values in the .ini file (e.g. the first con, enabled, uri, debug) matches exactly the second set of values. (e.g. the one under "[STREAM]".

# No videos showing up — Guest 2006-03-31 09:30

ive done everything, but the video files dont show up. i made the fake .pmp file etc, but the other videos dont show up. I have the folder directory set and everything. what do i do? there doesn't seem to be any start streaming button or anything in the windows pimp.exe thing. do i just paste in the directory and it should work? PLEASE help.

# shuts down — Guest 2006-03-31 09:54

it shuts down when i try to play any of my movies. When i press X it says "Loading" then the PimpStreamer shuts down and my psp just freezes (it was pitch black). How do i make this work? do i have to convert the movies?

# showing videos — Guest 2006-03-31 12:12

at first mine didn't show my videos, but when i replaced my video with a different one it showed up, but it didn't load when i tried to play it. This would've been awsome if it worked. hope someone finds a way to make this work.

# Mann.. — Guest 2006-03-31 14:44

WIsh I still had 1.5, but oh well. Sooner or later this will play on 2.6 flawlessly

# load — Guest 2006-03-31 14:58

it always freezes at "loading" and shutsdown pimpstreamer on the computer. How do u resolve this!!?? pleeeeeaze help.

# yo — Guest 2006-03-31 15:05

once it starts to work smoothly, someone should have set up a computer where everyone could stream off of (probably wont work though)

# RE: yo — Guest 2006-03-31 16:12

"once it starts to work smoothly, someone should have set up a computer where everyone could stream off of (probably wont work though)"

It works, we already tested streaming with PMPMod over the internet. It doesn't work well unless someone implements a buffer for PMPMod.
