I've got a load of Japanese/Asian/Foreign horror flicks for me and the girl to watch this weekend, first time I've ever used subs on PS3MediaServer, works great! A lot easier to setup than I thought (in terms of changing font size etc).

Some of the flicks are

I was looking at Sony Bravia KDL32V5810 which has a network port and supports DLNA streaming from a PC for music, pictures and video, could i use PS3MediaServer to stream to the TV without the need for a box inbetween?

Most likely, I've connected my PC running PS3MS direct into the ethernet port on my KDL37W5710 and it worked fine. The program even recognises that it's a Bravia and uses a TV icon to display.

BTW Happy Birthday (Y)

Hide your group name so it looks like a legit rip silly :p

Being honest I doubt 95% of people that watch 'ripped' films get them legit, lets not try to kid anyone here ;)

They were taken straight from my download folder, rather than my external drive which yes is all single names with Cover thumbnails.

Same problem when watching via PS3?

No and I have been able to watch HD video on the 360 in the past, with the PS3MS :/

( Before you suggest I start using the PS3, it's not connected and neither is my Turtle Beach headset, so I'd have to hook all that up every time and then back to the 360 when I'm done ... No thanks :p )

Few questions...

How recent did the latest build come out? Thinking maybe I need to upgrade. here is why...

So my other question is has anyone ever had the DTS sound just stop working after a minute?

More often than not, I have no issue at all playing DTS through my PS3. Actually it works all the time, no problem. Well today for the first time ever I had an issue with DTS on a 720p rip, the DTS would play for approximately 60 seconds, then just stop working, no audio at all. If I rewound or fast forwarded (then stopped as on larger files rewind sometimes work and fast forward always gives me a network error) but wherever I would start the movie from, DTS audio would work for about 60 seconds then just stop. No audio at all.

So hoping maybe it was just something with that one rip. I checked two other files I know are DTS and they work no issues at all.

EDIT - Think I found the latest build is 409, and I am WAY behind at 381, so hoping maybe the issue will just be fixed with an update.

Okay nevermind turns out I must have just never had a file with DTS HD. Apparently that type of audio does not like being streamed to a receiver according to what I've read elsewhere.

Just a quick few pics of the Sony Bravia interface when streaming via PS3MS

Is there something special I need to do to get my Bravia to recognize the PS3 media servier? When I did a search for media servers... nothing came up... ps3 hooked to a different TV has no issues finding it..

Not that i'm aware of, I don't actually use it like that was just to show RH the interface. But all I did was run a cable direct from the PC to TV and yeah did search media servers. I do sometimes find that the program itself is flaky on getting connections to my PS3 though.

    • Microsoft had to shut down 70+ GitHub repos after getting hacked, brings back some

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Microsoft had to shut down 70+ GitHub repos after getting hacked, brings back some by Aditya Tiwari The self-replicating malware campaign known as Miasma took the open-source world by storm. It was reported that almost 73 Microsoft GitHub repositories were infected by the worm and had to be temporarily shut down to determine how attackers compromised projects and stuffed password-stealing malware in the code. These GitHub repos span across different organizations, including Microsoft Azure, Azure-Samples, Microsoft, and MicrosoftDocs. The malware enabled attackers to steal passwords and credentials when compromised tools were opened in popular AI coding apps, including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, VS Code, and Cursor. The security firm Cloudsmith, malware analysis site OpenSourceMalware, and 404 Media were among the first to report the hack. For background, Miasma is a variant of the Mini Shai-Hulud worm, open-sourced by the threat group TeamPCP. It started its journey by compromising a Red Hat employee's GitHub account to attack the @redhat-cloud-services npm namespace. Earlier this month, Microsoft Threat Intelligence reported that the Miasma attackers published 32 malicious packages across more than 90 versions under the @redhat-cloud-services npm scope to steal cloud credentials. The worm didn't take long to start attacking source repos directly rather than package registries. It is known to skip the npm registry entirely for several targets and plant malicious code straight into public repos like "icflorescu/mantine-datatable." The delivery approach was designed to weaponize AI coding tools. Miasma's malicious payload embedded into projects can trigger automatic code execution when the infected repo is opened in an AI coding tool or IDE. The list of affected projects includes "durabletask", a Python package compromised by TeamPCP a month earlier to deliver an information stealer designed for Linux systems. That said, Microsoft has begun restoring some repos affected by the malware campaign, The Hacker News reports. A company spokesperson stated the following: Microsoft will continue to investigate the attack. It has notified a small number of customers who may have removed their content from the affected repos. The company will reach out to customers again through established support channels "if anything further is identified that requires customer action."
    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Why is Opera doing this notification at all? They have their own extension store. They don't have to obey anything dictated by Google. Others like Brave and Vivaldi that rely on Chrome's extension store, not so much. Firefox is entirely separate as well with its own extensions store. I honestly don't understand why entire world is just insisting on Chrome. Like, why? It's a stupid fat browser with barely any functionality. But sure, it's installed on everything by default. I don't understand how people even use web that's filled with tracking garbage and ads all over the place.

      Just for anyone reading, AdGuard (the free, standalone MV3 extension) is quite good now, a direct competitor to uBlock Origin Lite and much more built-out than it.
