Don't use this anymore since putting a Netgear ReadyNAS on the network. Although it doesn't transcode MKV files I try and avoid those and if I end up with them I just watch in the bedroom via my Acer Revo and XBMC.

Hey all, lately a few mkv's have been giving me issues while trying to stream them through media server. Specifically they say "Data is Corrupt" and I cannot play them at all. HIt has only been recently, and only a certain few. So does anyone know what is up? A new kind of codec perhaps? Do I have to use mkvmerge or some similar app and do something to get them to work? Up until this point in time never had any real issues with mkv files at all, so the few that did not work in the past I just did not watch. So any help here is appreciated. Is there a newer version of media server perhaps? TIA, DL

Is there an updated guide on how to stream mkv's to a PS3? Or is the OP up to date? I'm sick and tired to trying to get my 360 to play them. They're always skippy and laggy.

PS3 Media Server, and yes i know its PS3 but PS3 and xbox use the DLNA protocol for streaming so it works

Actually I have the same problem with SOME mkv files and I am using the above build from day one!

Interesting, i will post back once I use it a few days and see, I just wish I could remember what mkv's it was, I know I deleted them. wacko.gif

Sometimes the program/computer may need to be restarted. I had a issue with Salt earlier, but a restart somehow solved it.

Hmmm, considering I leave my comp on 24/7 and have not restarted it in weeks, this could be the case. Gonna restart once I install the new build.

Any of you guys run into this new Cinavia BS?

The euro release of Salt is protected with it. I tried to play a backup of mine and it ran fine with a DTS soundtrack. Am I missing something ?

Having tried to watch 1080p over the (wired) network it always has the stop and start thing happen would upgrading my router to one with Gbit ports help or is the 10/100 ports enough?

The router should be fine, as my Linksys 10/100 is just fine... unless your router is somehow slower. Is your computer fast enough for 1080p streaming? Mine is, but if there are subtitles, then it isn't.

I kept having issues playing certain movies that PMS would encode them. It added either "Subtitles" or "encoded" to the title and it would start to play and then PMS would crash. Got sick and tired of it so I went back to TVersity... that's a pain too to get it to connect to the PS3.. .ugh.
