Does anyone know of a good program to let you play .mov and .hdmov files with ease on it? Tversity does a pretty poor job of doing it. The files won't copy all the way and when you stream them they pause and stutter the whole time.

Use P3MS - http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/

Tveristy is garbage compared to it!

edit: Perfect timing, look here - http://ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=675 - The new beta does MOV remuxing [meaning you might be able to avoid transcoding completely]

Edited by Audioboxer
Well it did the .mov file really well but it doesn't seem to find any of my mp3s.

Music works fine here.

I know this question may "offend" you, but did you make sure you went to "Music" on the PS3 XMB? :rofl:

Countless times I've been under the wrong category on the PS3 cursing why nothing is appearing!

Bump because I just used this thead to figure out how to get movies onto my PS3.

Also, this thing should be stickied.

It's ridiculously out of date right now.

I'm in the process of updating it to include the absolutely awesome PS3MS - http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/ in favour of ditching TVersity.

We've come a long way since I last updated the guide, one of the biggest additions DTS support.

Are people still using MKV2VOB I have never had the need to use it since I moved to PS3MS.

If you don't stream and/or want subtitles without transcoding you'd need MK2VOB.

Plus the transcoding process MKV2VOB uses for files that need transcoding is of a much higher quality than PS3MS. PS3MS uses MPEG2, MKV2VOB uses x264 if you choose it.

There's a reason MKV2VOB can take hours to transcode a movie where as PS3MS transcode playback is pretty much instant :p

Test the difference yourself in MKV2VOB, you can set it to transcode to MPEG2. Then try it again on X264.

Hey i have my files in my computer, they aren't splited, because i stream with ps3ms, my uncle want my files, but he uses an external FAT32 hard drive, theres the 4gb limit, what program shold i use to split the final mpg, into 2 files or more? They're 1080p movies.

Sorry for the bad english :(

Thanks in regards

I've given this guide a quick update to work with PS3 Media Server, I'll further proof read everything later, I have to go out just now. It's a simple 'how to' to help anyone get started.

Great guide Audioboxer!

Just one small problem

4. PS3 Media Server (works on Linux/Windows/Mac) - http://ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3217

That link still redirects to the tversity site, not to the actual ps3 mediaserver page.

But still, Awesome guide.

Cheers!

Well spotted, fixed, thanks!

Well, after a tip from Audio, I tried PS3MS tonight and I've got a few things to say about it:

- The interface is a real mess. Compared to TVersity it looks like ****.

- After spending about half an hour playing with my firewall rules and the software's own settings I still couldn't get it to connect/recognize the PS3.

- The browser interface just shows a blank page...

- Have I mentioned it's ugly already? Because it is...

- Scanning library folders takes ages. Hey, at least it appeared to work :)

I really tried to make it work but it just didn't want to cooperate. Guess I'm sticking with TVersity for the time being.

Amazing guide, Audioboxer. The Link Shell Extension will make things so much easier because I have two external hard drives. Thanks!

PS: I am so totally following you on Twitter. :D

I seem to be having a problem with the IMDB plugin, I have copied it over to the plugin directory but each time I start PS3MS (which I have to start directly by the .jar because the .exe doesn't seem to work :/ Using Windows 7 x64, but I don't think that's the issue) it doesn't display the plugin as being included.

Any ideas?

Uhh I'm pretty sure if you're loading it by the .jar file it doesn't inject some of the code necessary.

What do you mean the exe doesn't work?

Also are you running the x64 version of Java?

I'm running on Windows 7 x64 just fine.

Yep got the x64 version of Java but for some reason when I double click the exe it just won't load the app.

When I go to load the app, a new javaw.exe process is spawned and takes approximately 44mb and then disappears from the process list. I am guessing somewhere along the way the java app is crashing when it is launched through the exe, might try and hunt through the event viewer and work out if I can trace the problem.

At least I still have the main program though :)

Cheers for the guide by the way, very useful indeed :)

    • Meta will now use data from outside businesses to personalize AI responses by David Uzondu In an update that's rolling out globally (except in a handful of countries), Meta will use your data from outside businesses to personalize your AI responses and your primary feeds. Meta already utilizes your shopping activity to target ads, but the company now plans to expand this tracking to personalize other "parts of your experience" like feed algorithms and AI assistant chats. The company is replacing the two settings ("Your activity off Meta technologies" and "Activity from other businesses") that currently let you disconnect off-platform activity with a single, renamed setting called Activity from other businesses. If you don't want Meta to manipulate your feed and AI responses using your outside history, you can just turn the Activity from other businesses setting off in your account settings. This toggle resides within your Accounts Center, applying your choice to every connected profile. Turning this off will not stop companies from sending your data to Meta. The company will still collect your web interactions, but it only uses them to train products, while still accessing external accounts you connect. When The Verge spoke to Meta spokesperson, Emil Vazquez, the representative said that this update will exclude several locations at launch including the European region, the UK, Brazil, Thailand, South Africa, Turkey, South Korea, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Kenya. The new update comes at a time when the social media giant is recovering from a major PR disaster involving generative AI. Last week, there was a huge security issue on Instagram where attackers figured out a way to exploit a prompt injection vulnerability. Hackers managed to trick Meta AI into handing over account ownership (even if the victim had 2FA enabled). Some of the affected accounts include the dormant Obama White House profile, cosmetics brand Sephora, the Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force, and security researcher Jane Manchun Wong. Internally, the company also had to scale back plans on its Model Capability Initiative (MCI), an employee-monitoring program designed to train corporate AI models by recording worker keystrokes and screen activity, after employees raised privacy concerns and complained about severe battery life drain.
    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
