Problem:
im trying to stream some 720p HD content to my ps3 i tried using TsMuxer and Mencoder but
ITS VERY SLOW i mean i wait 30 seconds and get 1.5 seconds of video then wait another 30 seconds and get 1.5 seconds of video.
and the quality isnt very good on the tv considering 720p source

anyhelp?

un trace this is what it says:

and is there any way to get ps3mediaserver to stream xvid/divx without re-encoding because the format is supported!?

[meskibob]

Post the actual debug log. It's much more specific as to what's actually going on.

For xvid/divx, just don't play them from the transcoded folder and they'll be streamed as is.

so yeah even when i'm not transcoding just streaming, its extremely slow + shuddery here's the log.

nerohome media worked really good with xvid etc but doesnt have HD support for .264 mkv

i tried it on my other computer which has.
2.2Ghz Quad Core Proc
4Gig DDR2 Ram
100Mbit card ethernet card

tryed with 720p source with mEncoder defualt settings....streaming is faster but still Very shuddery...
shagrath said that a pentium 4 could do 720p but a brand new 2.2Ghz Quad core cant???

any help Please

thanks in advance

same troubles than a lot of people with mp3s playing for example, there's a delay of 30 seconds between each request by ps3
that makes the DLNA feature unusable
I really don't know what happens... I would like to believe it's the server and I could do something about it but I really don't know
If you can test the same file without stuttering with another server, well...

my guess would be a network settings badly tuned or something like that (on router, network interface, etc.)

alright thanks so now i know why xvids dont work but what about the transcoding.....my home network gets about 15MB/s to any computer. so i dont see it being the connection, my computer specs are more then enough.....any reasons on extreme transcoding shuddering?

thanks alot and im very envious of all you people streaming 1080p to ur big screen and my 62" is lacking

thanks alot shag...great program too bad i cant config it right

How is your network setup? judging by the original post I'm guessing a router that the PC and PS3 are both directly wired into?

What OS? If its vista,try turning your firewall off and making sure that network discovery is enabled.

Also under network options in the PS3 make sure you set the duplex to auto. Changing this setting has practically eliminated any delays I had in streaming. I dunno how or why as forcing it to 100 full duplex should not cause this issue (something to to do with the logic controller on the PS3 NIC i guess).

Also try leaving the media server running overnight. I found this helps too.

Koncepts i would like to give you a BIG thank you i changed my settings on ps3 from 100 full duplex to auto fixed EVERYTHING!

i would reccomend putting this in the FAQ to save other new people head aches.

again thanks sooooooooo much bro.

this server is the bomb!@
