PS3 Media Server

Nevermind, I decided to restart and it works ok now. No idea what happened.

oh and 8 cores ftw btw :p

Support for dual? Pfsct! Quad is the way forward

Well if it supports dual then it means its multithreaded so will scale to quad, use a bit of common sense.

:p

The creator of this program is at the mercy of the applications used though!

Mencoder can pretty much re-encode everything which is why it's used, but up until now I'm positive it was only running on 1 core. Should be two now.

Yeah, that's common sense :rolleyes: Oh wait it isn't, some programs does not scale very well and actual coding for quad improves the performance even further.

I ran into the same issue as you when installing the latest beta, but again restarting fixed it. (Y)

Don't be dissin' mah haloz windowz

EDIT: Okay, what the hell - Was trying to watch an episode of Top Gear and I get "Data Type not supported", those AVIs should work no matter what?! ARG

[blurp]

Anyone using this on Windows 7 and can get it to work?

I just get an big red X when it tries to discover my PS3.

My ps3 has contact to internet so it shouldnt be that.

Allowed it in the firewall, turned off my AV. Still it wont work :(

Anyone can help me get it to work?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Sounds exactly what was happening to me earlier. I know I hadn't changed anything on my setup though, so a restart fixed whatever the problem was.

I'm running Vista though, but I can't see the changes being too different.

[Grandaevus]

Where are you running it from? Sounds like you could be having privilege issues.

[blurp]

Doesnt help to restart my computer, in matter of fact, when i restart it and then launch the server, nothing happens, if i look in the trace window, all it says is something like, starting java.

Tried to run it as admin, not working either.

Feels like it dont want me to use it :(

What does your log say? Here's an example of mine (working fine).

[main] TRACE 16:19:23.529 It's ready! You should see the server appears on XMB

I'm 100% convinced any issue of your PS3 not appearing are port based ones.

Either your PS3 isn't opening the ports necessary to use/find a media server, or you don't have the port necessary to share your media server to your PS3 open on your PC (5001 by default).

Set up a static IP for your PS3, and forward that IP as a DMZ on your router if you know how. It means any port the PS3 wants to use will already be open.

Check to make sure your PS3 is listed as NAT2 under network settings -> view connection info on the XMB.

Hopefully he'll release another Beta that fixes .AVI playback, have no idea how the hell it manages to break that :|

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

It could be a windows 7 related problem then blurp.

I'm guessing it works fine under other OS's installed?

The beta I posted was experimental, like he said it's not even been put up on the blog :p

It's main purpose was to check the new build of mencoder.

Are you sure AVI playback is borked though? I'm guessing something that worked before isn't now?

I'm running Windows 7 as my main, and it works fine!

Well, 'experimental' or not, basic AVI playback should be handled by the PS3 if not the software.

And yes, pretty much every single episode of Top Gear I have gives me a "Data type not supported". :(

Program must be borking something up then.

Did they work before?

This application in comparison to TVeristy does a few other things like thumbnail generation and what not, so something may be preventing the AVI files from working.

I'd just go back to the one on the blog for now - http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/

ps. Isn't Top Gear swirling around the web in HD anyway? ;)

[Sethos]

Aye, worked on his 'listed' build and through TVersity without transcoding, so the PS3 does play them natively as well - Which is why I find it odd it would throw that error at me.

Guess I'm gonna have to skip his 'experimental' build and say SOD it.

And no, HD episodes are pretty much non-existent on the 'scene' except their 'special' episodes.

Is there a way to start the media server on the computer startup? I want it to open and remain in the background without me having to open the application.

If you put a shortcut to PMS.exe in your startup folder, the application will start with windows.

[Sethos]

PMS.exe

Teh noes!1

( Yeah yeah, bored. )

I think most peoples GF/Wives have a shortcut to PMS.exe in their morning startup :rofl:

Yeah i was thinking of that but i wasn't sure if it would just open the whole application up rather than just the media server service. Oh well, might have to do that. Thanks.

Ahh I forgot the application has an option to "install as a windows service".

Well the beta I posted does anyway.

Are you running 1.02.5?

[red.]

Yeah, i do remember seeing that option but to be honest haven't played around with it too much yet. I'll go home and try it and see if it works.
