PMS"Rendr Edition" - BD Live players as streaming clients

[otmanix]

A firm "Ray in blu" made a patched version of PMS called "PS3 Media Server - Rendr Edition": http://grayzilla.com/rayinblu/ps3mediaserver
They also offer a software called "Rendr" which can be installed on BD Live capable players. This software seems to be a DLNA client, compatible with modified version of PMS. Beta of Rendr is available for free: http://grayzilla.com/rayinblu/
The howto lists BD Live campatible Players from LG, Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung and Sony.

They've made image thumbnails that works well with bravia.
Mayby some code can be used...

Interesting. Anyone else used their version?

[otmanix]

Hi Redlum,

I didn't see any difference when testing their compiled version (1.10.51) today. I didn't patch rev356 source code.

More infos of PMS Rendr edition here: http://www.rayinblu.com/ps3mediaserver
Patch for PMS here: http://www.rayinblu.com/sites/default/files/downloads/pms-rendr.zip It includes a patch file, some files for new media renderers (their DLNA java client for BD live players called Rendr), a convert.exe (imagemagick 6.5.3) and a tsmuxer.exe (1.10.6).

Best regards, Otmanix

Does this version have any benefits when not using ray in blu?

[otmanix]

I don't see an advantage for PS3 users. Tomeko wrote about improvements when using Sony Bravia tv as renderer.
For users without a console or tv with streaming capabilities or streaming client like PopcornHour... but with a BD live Player it is an advantage. Spend 20$, start this java app on your BD live Player and extend the features to streaming support...

I ordered a free beta-CD to see how it works...

Looking forward to testing this. Big advantage i can see is power consumption and noise. although I'm fortunate to have managed to get a very quiet PS3 the fan nosie is still noticeable whereas my Sony S350 BD player is silent and also uses way less power.

look interesting but you can not truly order a beta disk. It seems you are asking to be part of the beta program and if accepted (based on make/model), you will get a disk. I base this on the message displayed after I gave all of my personal details.

Lets hope they are not simply collecting marketing addresses

damn they beat me, I got some experiences in bd-j as well ( bd-j homebrew anyone? :p ) and got the same idea some months ago
