zerolimit Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I just have a few questions.... Does it support Divx? Is it hard to install Linux on it to play MKV files? How is the Blue Ray player? Please let me know asap! will be going in the next couple of hours. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 divx yes not sure about *nix and mkv, but pretty much anything *nix will do you can blu-ray is probably the best on the market. you will need a usb or bluetooth mouse and keyboard for linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerolimit Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 but installing linux itself is hard? or is it pretty simple to install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted February 8, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted February 8, 2008 Linux is not the way to play MKVs. Check my guide. You can play 720p/1080p MKV files from the XMB with a little work on your PC first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairlady_Z Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Not to hijack the OP thread, but anyone know if they will be having another 5 free blu-ray deal anytime soon? The one they recently had just expired. I'm considering picking one up myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Push triangle "show all" on your portable drive ;) No idea why you have to do this, but I get the same thing. If I don't, the PS3 just says "no files found".

zerolimit Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 I got the files showing doing the "Show All" and everything shows up. If i copy the divx to the PS3 everything works fine. Now could someone help me get 5.1 sound? I have my optical from TV to my Sony Surround sound receiver. Why wont the PS3 output 5.1 =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerolimit Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Just wanted to see if anyone knows how to get 5.1 sound because I only get 2 channel sound. Sounds good but 5.1 is way better! I have the PS3 connected through HDMI and my Tv to my Sony Receiver via Optical Cable. Please help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted February 8, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm not sure, but it's probably something under sound settings on the XMB. Change it to sound over optical? Do you not need to connect your PS3 to your Sony Receiver to get 5.1 on your PS3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerolimit Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 I didn't think we did have to have it on optical. This really bites if I can't get 5.1 sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Ninja Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I didn't think we did have to have it on optical. This really bites if I can't get 5.1 sound! try switching your audio options to Bitstream :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
