Forgot to add

OK guys, SB24 is released.

This is a significant release because I have added my build of MEncoder instead of Sherpya's for the first time.

This MEncoder build has several advantages over the one we were using.

It produces colours more correctly, so you will probably notice that shows look slightly different (a little brighter and a little warmer) because in the past the colours were being warped during the conversion process.

It also marks a big improvement in the display of VOBsub subtitles, because in all previous builds that has been bugged.

It has better audio/video sync and along with other advantages it may also introduce unknown problems, and that is why it's going into this build instead of the official one first.

So with the disclaimer out of the way, enjoy testing

Get updating :)

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

Cool, thanks for explaining the subs in more detail. I was never quite sure why subs were showing up on some mkv's on not others, so that does explain it now.

And yeah, the whole Cinavia thing really is starting to become an issue, and one day last week I spent a good couple of hours trying to find a way to work around it, and then I realized I had a super easy solution to the problem, stream it through the XBox 360, which I had not streamed anything through for well over 2 years. So that was a relatively easy fix, but obviously only an option if one has a 360, and I still prefer to watch everything on the PS3.

DTS fixed, was busted in last build :)

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?

LOL, just noticed this. Damn that Scots accent, I watched the film fine :rofl:

1.31.0-SB36:

This build functions as the bleeding-edge testing version of PS3MS. Here you can find features and bugfixes before they are added to the official version, and sometimes ones that never will be.

Thanks for the updates, there's another now

How does one get the official build? These sub junk builds are a little wonky for me, most movies are working, but a few are not, I have not tried everyone but 30 and 43 both have issues here and there, so just curious how the official build fares. It may be I just have a few corrupt mkv's.

Their main page has a link to it, just click the Windows logo (should be v1.30.1):

    • 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.
