  • multiMAN v1.16.15 Released - Showtime Player Integration

    Dean is hard at work once again improving multiMAN. Today, he has updated, what is arguably the best game manager currently available, to version 1.16.15. The new release features integration with Showtime, the 1080p video player we reported on yesterday.

      why does Multiman have actual "multiman" selections in the game list? Mine does this, It has one 'multiman' in the game list. How do I get rid of that?

      I can't figure out how to get the new display mode to show. (The 4x8 Covers) How would I do that? Great to see that this is still updating.

      Keep pushing L1 until the display you want pops up.

      Anyways, this Showtime mode, does this play all formats of videos?

      How do you exit out of Showtime Mode?

      @ch13696
      It can't seem to play the higher quality 720p mkv files. I tried playing The Town (great movie) but, I only get sound and black screen.

      This looks amazing, but I am still trying to get the AVCHD files playing (with the covers) anyone got an idea? And when it said a special version of Showtime is needed is that the latest one?

      All in all Great Word Dean

      hmm, thats unexpected, i havnt tried it my self...but some users have reported that showtime does indeed support 1080p playback, though some report that from external there's some stutter, but from internal 1080p works fine. or so they say...

      any other feedback regarding the video playback would be welcome

      thks again dean!

      Maybe it can play them in .mp4 format. That's what most of my movies are in anyways.

      I tried Inception in mp4 with aac 6ch sound on Showtime (not Multiman). I had the same results... Black screen but the sound was OK. Anyway, this is really something new and innovative, so I believe we all must be a little more patient.

      I'm assuming were still stuck with FAT file system limitations which means native 720p/1080p x264 .avi container movie length rips are out of the question for playback but possibly TV length shows could be possible.

      Ohhhh no i dont care for Online play im a Nintendo guy and there online play fails so hard it turns Gay men into *******s...

      Im just tired of no REAL HomeBrew poping up no Apps to push the ps3 to its Limits i know Rebug, Kmeaw or even Graf has the superior Knowledge to make such things to do so but im not gona be in the BackupManager/Piracy era maybe some other time and i already have my wii for that

      Im not gona ask for 3.60cfw because theres no use except psn dont you see if im UPDATING i wont NEED a 3.60cfw Because im on 3.60 official WITH games to play AND online play People only need a higher cfw to enjoy there piracy and psn if they so CLAIM to have the original Game CD then why the **** would the average user need cfw ??? i consider cfw a dev item NOT a normal user item

      I dont hate sony and i dont love them i just give my respect because there a good long lasting brand they could have my info because the government already has it so im doomed anyway. i could care less about what sony did to everyone els i could care less GeoHot was sent to oblivion because of his ignorance i can tell right through his dumb *** lies just by the way he talks Hes getting what he deserves and hes enjoying the attention maybe next time he will stay anonymous

      im not one to Join the party of ignorance then try and repent at the last minute no ill accept my fail like a beast and keep on Trolling life in my prime if i need a cfw then ill use another ps3 but theres no REAL point what so ever in trying to use it now Besides i was in it for the Developement all the ps3 games suck massively hard Online/Offline too

      Enjoy your cfw

      Of course I'll be patient about it. I mean, I can already play my movies anyway through the PS3's XMB. All I really want is something like multiMAN to organize my movies and give me the coverarts.
