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

A Tale of Two Sisters

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)

Excellent thanks for the input and thanks for happy birthday.

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.

You should download bluray rips instead low quality DVD rips

Why does MEncoder crash every time I want to watch HD files ( 720p ) on the 360, I tried updating and all but it's no good - So annoying :(

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.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

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.

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.

How well does PS3MS handle subtitles muxed into the videos?
