WDTV Live & PMS

[WannabeMKII]

I've recently purchased a WDTV Live to use as a streamer rather than the PS3 and it's working great.

However, would there be any reason for me to still have / use PMS as I now stream direct from a network share.

Is there anything else PMS can do for me?

I have one of those devices and it doesnt play every filetype some wmv do not work so I have to transcode them using a media server but the thing is PMS is setup for PS3 so by defaqult transcodes some filetypes such as mkv that the WDTV live can play natively, there is a way to stop this happening but I couclnt figure it out.

This could probably be solved by editing the "render.conf",
by defining the "Supported lines= " (with "media info = true") instead of using "StreamExtensions= " for the affected file type.
