Is there an archive of all of the builds by any chance? I want to go ahead an install this new build, but the one I am using now has proven to be incredibly stable and reliable, so in case there is something I do not like about this new version, I would love to be able to revert back in necessary. I am currently using 1.20.409

Just curious really, I am sure this new build is just fine, but just in case. So will hold off on installing this one until I hear about the older ones being available Ironically I backed up all of the older installers, but somehow I do not have this particular one I am using now.

This should hook you up Larry. http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/downloads/list

Sweet. Thank you. (Y)

The new builds are perfectly okay, the main bug fix was just the seeking issue with PS3 FW 3.50.

Does it keep your settings when you install a new one? I did a whole lot of tweaking to the app (thanks to you I might add), and have gotten it to where everything works as good as it is going to work, so if it does overwrite the settings, I want to take some screenshots to know exactly how I had set it up. If it keeps all settings, then I am good to go.

Yes it remembers your settings.

That is what I thought, but just wanted to triple check. Will be updating it tonight when I get home from work then. :yes:

Is there any reason a 1080p .mkv file wouldn't play on my 720p TV? I can get audio when using PS3 Media Server, but no video.

The file itself as fine as it plays on my iMac.

Might be the computer is too slow to transfer, or it could be a option checked called Disable All Subtitles. I found that setting to cause my files to only display a blank black screen, but still hear the movie audio playing as if everything should be fine. If it isn't the subtitles, and you believe your computer to be fast enough, go into the Transcode folder, and try selecting another codec to play it instead of defaulted one.

The source computer isn't the problem (i7 iMac), but I'll try without the subtitles disabled.

Edit: That fixed it, weird. Why would disabling subtitles be an issue?

There is a bug at the moment with subtitles that are hardcoded into the video. If you disable them, it basically disables the whole picture. Didn't do it in the older version, but now something is causing it. I had the same issue, so I have had to be careful about what I watch lol.

Not many people have issues with it, as most people have a fast enough computer to transcode the picture and subs. Mine is only fast enough for Picture, so I found this bug very quickly lol. Still no replies in their forums about how to fix it or if they are even looking into it.

Worth it for the new icons alone, let alone all the other stuff :p Replaces the nasty green icon on the PS3 menu with an actual PS3 as well.

Source code is available, hopefully someone can compile for Mac.

The fastest speed I can get is 38 Mb/s on my wireless N connection (with my PS3 connected directly to my router). I see you have 93 MB/s, Audioboxer. Are you using a wired connection?

Yeah it's a wired setup, about 15m of cable for both PC and PS3 which probably causes slight loss in speed.

Bro, I went to your PS3 @ 192.168.0.6 and wow you have way too much porn on there! :whistle:

anyway, ps3mediaserver == best.media.server.ever. I love this app having just discovered it about a week ago but apparently I'll need to go wired for streaming. mkv/m2ts are just a bit choppy on my N connection.

Is it transcoding? I had a bit of choppyness at intervals when transcoding MKV's, pressing pause and play would usually fix it for a while. I starting using MKV2VOB to convert to file format before streaming which seems to work perfectly. That way I can also FF & RW whatever i'm watching. All working down 100mbit wired connection.

I've used this program before. It works great. Just wish it didn't half-theme the controls/widgets. You got aero buttons and tabs, but checkboxes, comboboxes, and one of the scrollbar buttons for some reason look like windows classic. Not sure what's going on with that. Wish they'd fix that, cuz it irks me.

I figured. I guess I'll try connecting my laptop via Ethernet cable.

    • I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.

    • 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 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.
