Hello my name is Alex and I'm new to this board...
My first posting is already a question/request
I have the following setup
- 5200 Pro
- Popcorn Hour
- PS3
The last in the list (PS3) is the major problem, streaming does not work very well (even not with Twonky Media) to the PS3.
Problems with PS3:
- no mkv support
Problems with PS3 & Popcorn hour:
- not able to play DVD- Folders as they would be DVDs (only each individual vob).
On Popcorn Hour I can bypass this by simply mapping the 5200pro as SMB share, then I can play DVD-folders as they would be physical insered DVDs.
This is my major problem, since I have a lot of DVDs (that I actually really own) and started to rip them to the 5200 cause I simply have no space to put all the physical anymore and think it would be a nice feature to have them all available to view anytime (like years ago with the mp3). I do not want to loose the DVD-Menus cause I like the extras, and I like the feeling to play them as I would play an real DVD.
Anyway, the Project
ps3mediaserver
seems to solve all this problems, they claim that they are able to play DVD-Folders and mkv.
Here is the webpage:
code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/
Here are the highlights:
PS3 Media Server
PS3 Media Server is a DLNA compliant Upnp Media Server for the PS3, written in Java, with the purpose of streaming or transcoding any kind of media files, with minimum configuration. It's backed up with the powerful Mplayer/FFmpeg packages.
Current features
* Ready to launch and play. No codec packs to install. No folder configuration and pre-parsing or this kind of annoying thing. All your folders are directly browsed by the PS3, there's an automatic refresh also.
* Real-time video transcoding of MKV/FLV/OGM/AVI, etc.
* Direct streaming of DTS / DTS-HD core to the receiver
* Remux H264/MPEG2 video and all audio tracks to AC3/DTS/LPCM in real time with tsMuxer when H264 is PS3/Level4.1 compliant
* Full seeking support when transcoding
* DVD ISOs images / VIDEO_TS Folder transcoder
* OGG/FLAC/MPC/APE audio transcoding
* Thumbnail generation for Videos
* You can choose with a virtual folder system your audio/subtitle language on the PS3!
* Simple streaming of formats PS3 natively supports: MP3/JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF, all kind of videos (AVI, MP4, TS, M2TS, MPEG)
* Display camera RAWs thumbnails (Canon / Nikon, etc.)
* ZIP/RAR files as browsable folders
* Support for pictures based feeds, such as Flickr and Picasaweb
* Internet TV / Web Radio support with VLC, MEncoder or MPlayer
* Podcasts audio/ Video feeds support
* Basic Xbox360 support
* FLAC 96kHz/24bits/5.1 support
* Windows Only: DVR-MS remuxer and AviSynth alternative transcoder support
This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for...
There is also an Linux Version, but to be honest, I'm not really fit with Linux, but I think there might be a way to port it to the 5200 Pro.
So my question is, do you think it might be possible to install the PS3Mediaserver to the 5200?
I'm really sorry for asking this, it might be a stupid question, but maybe someone from you can answer it by, yes/no/not worth the effort
I don't know, but I know this software would really be great for my needs, and maybe there are out some other PS3 owners who would like to have this features.
Thanks for your time
