PS3 Media Server

Been a year since an update, and many bugs remain, and the phasing out of Mencoder has not happened. is there an alternate? I still have many issues with PS3 Media server and it seems there's no longer development.

im using the latest snapshot it runs great, i bumped ffmpeg ahead of mencoder and i update ffmpeg regularly from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ basically all the devs need to do is release 1.90.2 as is but even better give mencoder/ffmpeg/mediainfo and java another update but its not really as needed as they got a update during the 1.90.2 snapshot phase to newer ones. maybe chocalateboy or another dev could release either 1.90.2 as is or update the win32 transcode tools and mediainfo and java and release it. this would be great.

I can give some pointers to get it updated by doing it yourself. I have 1.90.1 release and was having issues with win32 from crashing while browsing on the ps3.
I use mencoder and sometimes ffmpeg, What I did was go to there website and download the latest update. After you downloaded the rar file, open it and extract
mencoder.exe and mplayer.exe to your desktop. Then go to program files and find the ps3 media server folder, open the folder and look for win32 folder within.
Once you have that open, drag and drop those 2 files that you copied onto your desktop and it will prompt you to move and replace, click ok. You would do the same
thing for ffmpeg.exe and any other encoders. Your Done now go test to see if its working.

If you need the websites for the encoders look for file builds.txt within win32 folder.

Hope this helps anyone having the issues I was having.

Is 1.90.2 available to download?

I think I have to drop PMS. I am having problems on my both Macs and no know seems to fix. No new version is coming out either.

You should try searching for alternatives to PMS. One is "successor" to PMS with similar name but you should try find it yourself.
Not sure if development is abandoned here or not...so don't want to possibly break forum rules.
Edit: I found post from taconaut which mentioned development seems to be closed
So to have a better DLNA server you should try UMS (clone of PMS with fixed bugs, added new features etc.)
More users, less bugs, better user experience.
