DL - I def had issues with streaming over wifi - was only 75ft or so from laptop (could have been crappy network card) to router. Regular dvd rips played fine (def couldnt rewind or ff)... got 720p videos rarely to work at a normal level. Hoping you have better luck that I did....

Nope, no luck. Gigabit wired network and cannot stream 720p with a wireless connection to the PS3. So I just purchased a 100 ft Cat 6 cable for $10 off Amazon, going to just run it manually for now the nights I need the streaming and wire it permanently in the near future.

That sux.. was hoping yours was going to work based on your setup was a little different than mine. I wonder if wireless N would have been able to handle that bandwidth (although I dont think the ps3 has wireless N).

It's crazy how "complete" I thought this app was a year or so ago, so many changes and updates to things for compatibility/efficiency and bug fixes in the past few months.

larry, i can stream 1080p with the wireless N setup I have in my home. I use PS3Media server to do it, but not to my ps3 (i have terrible lag with this program with ff/rew even when it's wired). you should be okay as long as you have a decent N router.

Well 2 things, I never had any issues with PS3 Media Server, I can do everything through it plus DTS sound, so it is why I purchased a second PS3, so not using the PS3 is not really an option, and I do not nor really cannot have a Wireless N router unfortunately, my router is supplied through Verizon themselves, they use a proprietary router for their FIOS service, so that is what it is really.

I already set it up wired too, ran a Cat 6 Cable from my office to my bedroom, so everything is all sorted out, but thanks for the response.

I was having a look around to see if I could find a way to shutdown my PC from the PS3, and bingo! Seems this plugin has existed for a while.

Download and save into your PS3MediaServer plugin folder.

It allows you to shutdown, restart and log off your PC from the PS3. Tested it myself and works fine.

Nice. I will definitely check this out. :yes:

Did you manage to give it a go? I assume it's just a simple java command that works across all PCs/Operating Systems, I don't see there being compatibility issues but who knows.

Totally forgot about this, will check it out sometime soon.

Thanks for the heads up. (Y)

Do you guys update often? I only ask because everything seems to work "perfect" for me. Can stream 720p/1080p mkv files with DTS with no issues, I see updates are coming more often and wonder if its worth it for what looks to be minor fixes in the change log. Thanks!

I do, but I pretty much install the 3-4 latest versions in a separate folder just in case something breaks with the latest versions. So on my desktop I create Shortcuts with the name of the version after it. Honestly have never really had a version break anything, and I also cannot really say I ever noticed any difference in performance really, so not really necessary to update with every release.

Yea... thats what i was looking for. I love to have the most up to date version but if there is nothing to gain by doing so then why bother? I also dont remember how I set the DTS thing so I dont want to risk having my settings reset (which I believe does happen)

Does anyone else have an issue where new content doesn't seem to show up in the shared folders?

The PS3 seems to cache the folder contents and it's a HUGE PITA to get it to recognize anything new.

Any ideas?

With the settings, backup your latest ones. You can check where the settings are for each version in the Traces log. It is like line 14 or 15. It will give the path to a folder location with 2 files I believe.

Once you install a new version, immediately check the Traces log, and see if the path has changed for the settings. The last couple of versions have been the same location, so they all refer the same settings for me, so I keep my DTS settings, etc. intact.

Cannot say I have ever experienced this issue at all. That would drive me nuts for sure.

I can put a movie in a folder as the app is running, just back out of the folder on the PS3, and go into the folder and the new movie will be there. It literally works in real time for me?

A lot of the recent changes are to do with far superior subtitle support, although there has been quite a few updates to mencoder/FFMPEG, which can always be useful when transcoding.

So since the topic is of subtitles, something I still do not fully understand...

Do MKV's generally have subtitles built into them?

For whatever reason I have been watching a lot of foreign films lately, I also actually watched a Scottish film called NEDS and needed subtitles for it as their accent was just way to damn thick LOL and the only way I usually do subtitles is to have it autoload a sub file of the same file name. Every other option just seems hit or miss. So what am I doing wrong?

It depends on the movie and how it is coded. If it is "hard coded" then the subtitles normally can not be disabled, but "soft coded" can. Depending on "where" you get the movies, it should say.

Most of the anime I get is all hardcoded. If you really want to know if there are subs though, instead of just clicking on the file itself, you should have a folder named #Transcoded ( or something along that line ). Open it up, and then open the folder that your movie name is labeled. For anime, I normally have to choose the ASS/SSA undetermined, and it puts up english subtitles just perfectly. There will be other subtitles listed for other languages, as well as the other ways for your stream to be processed if it isn't working with the normal method. Very handy for certain movies.

I recently just had the ps3media server do a auto update... when did they put that function in? I opened it up, it said a newer version was available, and boom, got it. I haven't had any issues with it though before or after the update, and in fact, it has only gotten better. I no longer have issues with any 1080p movie I stream. Now, if only there is a way to get around cinevia and the muted audio after 20 mins on certain flicks... :whistle: lol

    • 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.
