Thanks a lot to smo for setting this server up! The original thread about the setup can be found here.
Having a build like this makes it easy to gain access to specific bug fixes as well as new features, but please bear in mind these builds may not have been widely tested and are not guaranteed to be stable. Please let us know if you spot any regressions (i.e. new bugs not present in the latest official release). Also: feedback on things that have been fixed in these builds is always welcome!
Update procedure:
- Download the latest version of "pms-xxx.jar-with-dependencies.jar" from here (where xxx is the version you want)
- Close PMS on your computer
- Rename the downloaded "pms-xxx.jar-with-dependencies.jar" to "pms.jar"
- Replace the "pms.jar" in the PMS application working directory(*) with the one you downloaded (make a backup of the original, just in case)
- Start PMS and check that the version shown in the window title corresponds to the one you downloaded
Be aware that this update procedure doesn't update any external applications used by PMS such as MEncoder or tsMuxeR. If required, these can be found in the Google Code repository.
(*) On Mac OSX look here: "/Applications/PS3 Media Server.app/Contents/Resources/Java/repo/net/pms/pms/xxx/pms-xxx.jar". The "/Applications/PS3 Media Server.app" folder is invisible. Use the "Go to Folder" command (CMD + SHIFT + G in Finder) and paste the path to browse to it.
