Hello there
Some fresh news from the development front, as there's a new version out there! Two interesting things: First, Windows users who owns multicores processors will be pleased to know that, this version includes a custom build of mencoder optimized for multicores and H264 content, based on the great work of the ffmpeg team. Benefits ? recent CPUs are now fully used, rather than the usual 60, 65% usage with the default mencoder build (that means a 30% performance gain on mine for example), so you can almost ditch your CoreAVC / AviSynth installs... Be careful though, this is somewhat very young, so you can disable it if any problems arise...
The another thing is that, we have a new forum :) You can join here... feel free to participate !
PS3 Media Server v1.03 for Windows/Linux/OSX
Here's the changelog:
- Changes / Features
Customize encoding parameters (along with default ones) for any given container/codec/property combination (purpose: A/V sync, playback issues, and tweaking for advanced users)
Ability to select networking interface
OSX 10.4 Tiger support (Intel only)
Settings reorganization
M4V now streamed by default, you have to enter the #Transcoded# folder to force the transcode (like AVI files)
WMA now transcoded by default
Italian localization
WINDOWS ONLY: Use (only with 720p/1080p H264 content) an experimental mencoder build for multicores
New OSX icon (thanks to Jakob Karlsson)
Added a "Skip/Force transcode extensions" option added if default settings don't suit you
Possibility to only remux AC3 audio tracks and not reencoded them
- Fixes
Default platform charset issue
Transcode buffer optimization on Windows
Application crash on Windows when too many widechars filenames were parsed
Audio tracks sorted by track number (if present) in media library
Better filenames/subtitles management (m2ts/ts/dvr-ms issues, comas, widechars, etc.)

DVD images are listed in the media library
Fixed RSS parsing for Youtube and maybe other feeds

v1.02.1
Hi,
a quick message to inform you there's a serious bug in 1.02 which prevents the application from running, affecting a significant number of users...
so here's the 1.02.1:
PS3 Media Server 1.02.1 for Windows/Linux/OSX
If you have no troubles with 1.02, you can skip it, as this one has very few fixes, aside this major bug:
- Fixes:
Major Bug in server start due to a faulty MAC address retrieval
PMS do not start after activating the archive browsing option
Media library small fixes
Good news is there's an OSX version working in Java1.5. It should be able to run with more macs !

v1.02
Hi,
the new version (1.02) is finally released. Some interesting features were added. Main one being the media library: It's a work in progress, so don't expect too much of it :p.
As I'm not a big fan of those huges databases you must constantly refresh,
the feature is disabled by default, so the application will behave like before. However, the media library has two purposes: to offer a view of your media files with some criterias (artist, date, etc.) and also to speedup the display of your folders on XMB, as the media library act like a parsing cache (metadata, thumbnails, etc.). So, to have a better browsing experience, but without the hassle of scanning all your folders, I would suggest to enable the media library (in the general configuration tab), and not touch the scan button (in the folders sharing tab). People who like to have their files organized with tags and such can happily click on that button, though :p (beware of loooong scan time if you have a lot of files). The media library is also a progressive learner, so it will update itself automatically when new or updated folders will be browsed on the XMB.
There's some fixes too. Such as better codecs support and A/V out of sync issues. About this, as there's not (yet?) perfect synchronization with every video file out there, the "Video Settings" Menu has been revamped, so playback options are easily changeable now. You can dynamically enable or disable the A/V sync alternative method (in case of out of sync), a deinterlacing filter, subtitles, etc.
I would also thank the people who are helping on the project code and the google groups, as they contribute to make this project more alive ! You can download new version here:
Download PS3 Media Server 1.02 for Windows/Linux (OSX version should come soon)
And here's the changelog:
- New features
Auto-updater, default configuration, cleanups and windows/linux build scripts (thanks to Tim Cox)
Media library (also act as a parsing cache): you can sort your files by date, ID3 tags, etc.
Playlists (m3u/pls) support
Preliminary album art support, better audio (flac) and tags parsing
New options for video resolution, deinterlace filter, and archives browsing
Video settings with an easier virtual menu (A/V sync, deinterlace, ...)
Windows service installer (working on 32 bits only)
New image parsing library: Better performance / EXIF support (sort photos by camera model, etc.)
DVR-MS addon
- Fixes
A/V out of sync issues with some ISOs and medias / codecs support improvement (flv, rmvb, hdmov, mp4, multichannels avi, etc.)
External subtitles not always loaded
Upnp advertising issue in search reply to the ps3 (thanks to Daniel Pedersen)
SkipLoopFilter is now disabled by default
Regression since 0.98, server would not start on some machines
Newest builds of ffmpeg/mplayer/mencoder for win32
Usual bunch of fixes
