PS3 Media Server 1.24.0

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Right now the Linux and Windows versions are available, with the OS X build hopefully coming within the next day or two. Seriously, this time

For users who are upgrading from pre-1.23.0 you might want to read the 1.23.0 release notes and if you use the "media library / cache" option you should reset it.

About

PS3 Media Server is a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server.

Originally written to support the PlayStation 3, PS3 Media Server has been expanded to support a range of other media renderers, including smartphones, televisions, music players and more - all of which are listed on the right.

Because it is written in Java, PS3 Media Server supports all major operating systems, with versions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

The program streams or transcodes many different media formats with little or no configuration.

It is powered by MEncoder, FFmpeg, tsMuxeR and AviSynth, which combine to offer support for a wide range of media formats.

variety purposes.

and why use it if we got showtime? :s

doesnt showtime still kinda suck at the moment? like.. it doesnt do 5.1 audio, and still doesnt play some files smoothly.. or does it run perfect now?

and why use it if we got showtime? :s

This is a server side app. Showtime is a client.

How can showtime play a file >4gb? With the fat32 limitation and all, I only use the this awesome media server to stream my mkv's.

[Norkusa]

Oh wow, I was starting to think this was abandoned. Patiently waiting for the OSX update to be released.

Tried using Showtime but hated it. PMS is so much better. Can even use it with my 360 too!

With A.C. Ryan Playon can Netflix be streamed without PSN?
