Sony BDP-S370 (DLNA-compatible with new firmware M03.R.567)

[cube3x3]

I have been playing with PMS and new BDP-S370 and found out that PlayOn server supports stream fast-forward but PMS doesn't.
I looked at the video codec, PlayOn transcode to 'MPEG' format and PMS transcode to 'AVC' format.
How can I configure PMS to transcode to 'MPEG" format?

Thanks devsk. It does actually patch ok with revision 412. Revision 413 was released on 24/12/2010, and the patch isn't compatible as yet. I hope to sort something out soon.

In the meantime, the simple workaround is to svn check out the source code, and then update (downwards) to revision 412. For those using TortoiseSVN, you right-click the folder and select "TortoiseSVN" -> "Update to revision...", and then type 412 into the box and click OK. The patching will then work. Doing an svn update afterwards will however result in a conflict for now.

I actually, pulled in revision 412. And the patch from the zip failed to apply. Can you please try it in a new fresh directory? Something is wrong.

which 'diff' program was used to create this patch? And where was it run? Can u please recreate the patch with "diff --strip-trailing-cr -Nru <orig_dir> <new_dir>"

I just used GnuWin32 DiffUtils most likely - I can't remember the details (ie. the program or the command details), since I have since re-installed Windows.

To apply the patch, I simply put the patch file in the "ps3mediaserver" directory and ran it with "patch -p0 < BDP-Sx70.patch". I am using patch-2.5.9 from GnuWin32. And I tested this today.

Can you please do me a favor? Can u please recreate the patch as follows:

checkout r412
create r412.org folder with 'cp -a r412 r412.org'
Apply the patch you have now r412 folder.
recreate the patch with "diff --strip-trailing-cr -Nru r412.org r412"

I am not sure if you are familiar with cygwin or not, but if you have that, the above would be very easy to do from with cygwin command shell.

I think the patch command on Linux and diffutils on Windows are not compatible somehow, which makes seemingly straight patch not appliable.

Never mind. I applied the patch manually. Let's see if it works...

Above link is for a shared community version of PS3 media server with this patch and some others already applied.

No, the patch in the ZIP is not applied in the contrib version.

After applying the patch in the zip to 412, the PS3 renderer is broken. I gave up on it because that's the first requirement: it should work with PS3 as well as Sony BDP S570.

Is there a page somewhere that has a one-stop setup and configuration for getting the BDP-S370 to work with Linux? I have mined forums, including this one; and as yet have not ever been able to get this to really work. It has been a bit since I last tried, and it is somewhat difficult to follow the threads here anymore about what code to download from where and which patches to apply and how to apply them. So, has anyone ever just put it all together in on complete page for someone who is not an expert coder to follow anywhere? Much appreciated.
