PMS Community Build Beta

[lightglitch]

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong here, but since I've installed this build, ALL of my HDD's are visible in the Video menu on the PS3 instead of just the Folders I have explicitly defined in the 'Navigation/Share Settings' > 'Shared folders' section.

There wasn't any patch that change the way normal folders are configured. Did you do a fresh install or installed on top of it? Check the PMS configuration file.

I removed PS3 Media Server via Add/Remove Programs and performed a clean install to the default directory.
Running XP Pro SP3 (all up to date)

Check the PMS configuration file.

I'm assuming that's the PMS.conf file in the C:\Program Files\PS3 Media Server directory.
If that's the case, my 'folder' value is just one directory. Here's a direct copy/paste:


thumbnails = true
alternativeffmpegpath = C:\\Program Files\\PS3 Media Server\\win32\\dvrms\\ffmpeg_MPGMUX.exe
mencoder_ass = true
folders = G:\\Series
port = 5001
hidevideosettings = false
hide_transcode_folder = false
hide_empty_folders = false
hide_media_library_folder = false
hide_extensions = false
use_mplayer_for_video_thumbs = true
thumbnail_seek_pos = 400
usecache = false

Kill all java/javaw processes using task manager and restart it.

Just released the ps3mediaserver 1.20.410 contrib r17 with mencoder, ffmpeg and mplayer updated.

EDIT:
My ps3 doesn't have the firmware 3.5 for now, can anyone confirm this issue (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7836) with the beta version?

Did you check subtitle support?

Just testing it and appears to have some issues with mkv subtitles.

Yes, all the mencoder/ffmpeg/mplayer builds after the one used in the official PMS build break subtitle support.
I have talked to Gianluigi Tiesi (the guy who makes the builds) about it and he isn't able to help.

You need to disable ass/ssa subs. Then it will work.
New MEncoder versions don't like -ass parameter but disabling ass/ssa in PMS doesn't mean you will loose subtitle support.

Thanks for that. With today's update I get mplayer crashing and wanting to send an error report when I start ps3ms. I am using XP and used ant to compile. Mencoder also does the same when trying to stream tv.
