SharkHunter Build 43 (Update 12-04-29)

[lartomar2002]

Been playing with SHB15. I am having problems withe Icefilms not having any titles in any of the categories and I can not find Movie2K. I still have the Movie2K rar file you sent me should I replace the Movie2K.ch files in SHB14 with the one you sent me? Of course it was for a different build so they may not work.
I atached a pms_dbg.zip. Thanks

lartomar2002 - modify your PMS.conf so channels.path=extras\\channels and things would look better...

[lartomar2002]

Thanks, that was the problem. Now, everything is working. The only issue I found and I do not believe you have any control over it and that is PS3 will only let you drill down 7 or 8 level and it is some times 1 less than you need to access IMDB info.

[SharkHunter]

Nope nothing to be done there. PS3 sucks in that respect. Other renders don't have this obscure limit...

Hi

I uploaded anew SHB (v16). This contains Channels 1.27 which has covers the new IceFilms syntax. So if you are crying your eyes out over the fact that IceFIlms hasn't been working for a while then upgrade to this one.

Hi Sharkhunter,
First post. Hopefully I did everything correctly.

Basics:
1- My computer specs: Gateway i5-750 // 8Gigs RAM
2. version of PMS that you're using: 1.31.0 SHB16
2- Device you are streaming to: PS3
3- Your local network setup: PC -> 2wire Router -> Ethernet (wired) -> PS3
4- Which engine you are using if you're transcoding: none

Notes:
1. Icefims wont play. All i see is the grey "triangle/Circle" encoder Icon. I consistantly get "...corrupt file". even when trying to select transcode using any choice.
2. Navi-X. Same. I see all "screenshots", however, no file plays.

Comments:
1. All local content on PC works with your build.
2. Have PlayOn - most streaming content works.

question:
Is it possible that I have an encoder issue? should I uninstall any encoders? (ie. FFdshow rev 3154, AVsynth 2.5, VLC media player 1.18, Vobsub) Not sure, just inquiring....

either way,
thank you inadvance for your work on this project. Its much appreciated.

Allen

First PMSencoder is rock nottom which it shouldn't (it should be first) move it to the front in your conf file. That does not explain your problems. ABC seems to not work for me either bu discovery works (which is also rtmp based). The MegaVideo stuff work but make sure your not hitting the mega limits there since it will prevent you from seeing anything. You are using only 768 MB (I use 1536 MB) this should work however but it might be a factor. Run the SHB installer again and increase that memory from 768 to 1536 (you got a lot more give PMS some )

Hi,

New SHB (v17) which is a real test ballon. It contains a test to see if the FolderLimit depth on the PS3 could be worked around. It will be much clicking . You'll see a folder called "Folder Limit" at the top level. This will contain the last folder visited in one of the other folders. Try it out and give feedback...

SH, Installed v17 twice now(both clean installs using revo to get all the old files) and I can't get it to load. v16 loaded fine but I get a "Could not create a java virtual machine" error when I attempt to open this install. Just a heads up in case it's not just my computer.
Thanks for all the hard work!

update: turns out it was setting my memory to 1536 that was causing the java error. Ran installer again and put it at 768 and runs fine. Guess I can't use the 1536 trick to fix my icefilms like the guys above, doh.

Hi Sharkhunter,

quick recap:
I tried making the changes you sugggested:
a. by moving my encoder up to the top. it caused no change.
b. by adding more RAM (had the same error as lasnkio) win7 64 i guess doesnt like more than 768. (any back-door config we can edit?).

also,
i tried your v17 also.
got to drill down all the way to IMDB no problem.
tried to back out and try #2", but it frooze on me. had to re-boot. then, it worked........(not sure what more you want.....mabye add a comment how we can help).

lastly,
im really pre-plexed that i cant get navi-x or ice working. any last-ditch suggestions?
- is there any relationship between this and the fact that im on a custom firmware KMEAW 3.55 ? does this change anything?
- can i remove anything?
- how about silly firewall setting?
- im open to trying anything.....

thx
