Easy setup guide for Ubuntu / Debian (DEB packages and repo)

I've just installed this today, (was just running PMS from linux tarball) and MKV files are no longer listing on my XBOX 360. They show up in the transcode folder, but not in the normal listing. How can I fix this?

Copy your old PMS.config from ~/.config/PMS to ~/.config/ps3mediaserver

Thanks for your hard work on this. I have been using it for a while now.

Recently, I built an ubuntu server box. Is there a headless only package available? I don't want to install x11 or any of the other desktop dependencies.

ps3ms itself does not require desktop environment. Though dejault-jre ubuntu package has several graphic libraries as dependencies.
To avoid installing dejault-jre you can install java from oracle yourself, dowload ps3ms deb from launchpad, open it as archive file and remove "dejault-jre" from "debian/control" file then install edited deb (dpkg -i package.deb).

For those of you running debian sid x64- you have probably seen by now that the debian package posted doesn't work because ia32-libs has essentially been removed from debian. Plus, multiarch support doesn't really help because you can't install libc6:i386 because if its version differs from libc6:amd64 (which is often in debian unstable), you cannot install it. Without libc6:i386 tsmuxer will not work. Not to mention that you have to install a much older version of ps3mediaserver because the new deb packages only support upstart, which is only for ubuntu.

There is no known solution for this. You are out of luck.

Is this repo no longer being maintained?

I am running Lubuntu 13.04 and haven't seen an update since 1.81.

Yes, I would like to know this as well. This seems to be the recommended method to install PMS on Ubuntu 13.04, but I think I'm getting bitten by a bug and it seems the answer is to upgrade. Ummm so... Without going nuts, what does one do?
