Display Options?

[Mask1nen]

Im using ps3ms to stream my movies. However I wonder if there is any way to change the way movies/texts look in XMB. I mean like, instead of them all being displayed like this:

Movie 1
Movie 2
Movie 3
Movie 4
Movie 5
Movie 6
Etc.....
I wonder if there is any way to get them like this:

Movie 1 ------ Movie 2 ------- Movie 3
Movie 4 ------ Movie 5 ------- Movie 6
Etc.....

I saw some uTube clip of some guy who had it like I just explained on his PS3 and im dieing to have it the same Got all those pretty thumbs created and it looks stupid atm with them all in a single row imo.

Is there anyway to do this? Ps, im a newb.

Nope, atleast not with PMS or any other DLNA setup using the stock PS3 DLNA feature set (atleast AFAIK). That was either some app running directly on the XMB or a custom FW (with an app or modified DLNA).

XMydia something...

Yup, looks like an app for a custom FW (there aren't any "plugins" that I know of with stock FW). Actually almost looks like a web page/service... Either way, not possible with PMS and DLNA.

Another custom fw with MKV support for PS3 (check forum there):

Yes, it's a Flash web app which uses PMS for streaming. It's set as the browser's homepage.

He/she's using IIS, but it would work a lot better (i.e. portably) as a PMS plugin. I toyed with adding support for HTTP (e.g. servlet) plugins, but never got round to finishing it. It could also integrate well with pms-mlx, which already has a TMDb plugin.

Very cool!

Looks interesting, even though I'd like to see it working with HD material before believing flash is suitable for this kind of utilisation (as written in the latest blog post mentioning memory issues on the ps3).
Having a standalone app would definitely be nicer then having to use IIS.
Unfortunately, with the ps3 we have to accept limitations like the rigid folder structure and predifined content types if using the normal dlna server discovery or having to use the browser with this.
Lets see what the next version he'll release will bring along
