PS3 Media Server


Recommended Posts

I stumbled across this new Java based (Windows, Linux, OSX...) media server and I really want to recommend it to everybody. It really rocks and has replaced Tversity for all my streaming needs!

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 via MEncoder, tsMuxer or Avisynth

* 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!

* All formats PS3 natively supports: MP3/WMA, JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF, and all kind of videos (AVI, MP4, TS, M2TS, MPEG) the ps3 is willing to play

* ZIP/RAR files as browsable folders for pictures/audio files

* Preliminary support for pictures based feeds, such as Flickr and Picasaweb

* Preliminary Internet TV / Web Radio support with VLC, MEncoder or MPlayer

Windows Only:

* Lossless 5.1 PCM transcoding with DTS movies.

The TVeristy server service can still be buggy for me so I might check this out.

Other than that I don't really need any of the extra features, everything I stream can stream natively so I have transcoding off.

I've been running it over Christmas and it's worked waaaay beyond my expectations.

Would be fun if someone pushes info about it to the software page since it really deserves some more recognition.

I read in the developers forum about Kaspersky and it seems to be related to Java as specified above.

Since it's Java based and unsigned so it makes sense that it complains.

Just posting back with my verdict, great piece of software (Y)

None of the stupid hassle you get with TVersity & minimal setup. Will definitely be using this from now on.

Awesome, this will be getting a spin.

TVersity has served me well, but the developers still have a sketchy service running the app, and the interface can be quite slow/bloated.

I'm not the biggest fan of Java based application, but I'm installing it just now.

Believe me, I hate Java too (especially coding the stuff). It's actually not too bad on resources either, I'm currently streaming/transcoding a 1080p movie and it's using less than 200MB of ram. My system is hardly cutting edge either so its pretty good imo. Most importantly though I think is the interface on the pc is responsive. There is nothing I hate more than laggy Java apps.

@Mike, I've really not messed around with the settings too much, but by default it can see all your folders on the pc. I already have UAC disabled so can't help you with the 2nd Q.

@Jeremy Did you try the TsMuxer alternative? It works fine for me when running 720p even over wireless. haven't tried 1080 yet.

Hi there, I left every as default to be honest. I'll try again later. Thing is, since setting up TVersity (for my PS3 and PSP and iPod Touch), I've had no problems at all with it.

Nice, ill give this a go. I also use TVersity and never had any major problmes, but again i dont do any transcoding.

A drag and drop feature would be nice, i hate the you need have to add folders in TVersity.

TVersity drags and drops just fine for me.

Are you using the newest version?

ok so i'm kinda a noob when it comes to network stuff.....this program isnt working for me because it cannot find the PS3....i already checked to make sure my XP had uPnP enabled

anybody help me out?

I get this error on OSX Leopard 10.5.6. There isn't a newer version of Java available and the app doesn't work with Java 1.5? :(

[EDIT] OK just checked. I can't use this on a 32-bit Intel mac because Java 1.6 isn't available for 32-bit - only 64-bit. I mean WTF?

Giving this a whirl, much appreciated :)

TVersity, while it works, has the most horrible interface of any desktop app. Seriously, why the hell code an IE frame then run Flash on top of that? *shakes head*

And yeah coding Java is a right pain ennit XD CANNOT FIND SYMBOL! :p

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
