since alot of ppl use bravia's it would be nice to get this fixed, or looked into since it doesnt happen with other media servers i dont think its anything major just a bug somewhere? the listing is so slow.. i dont have a problem with it showing it just takes forever it seems every 32 files it pauses for a few seconds then continues to list the rest slowly. even without that pause its still slow. not sure whats up with it or what its doing.

Shagrath, I noticed something about the Max Bitrate Limit. I was helping my brother set up PMS over Wifi for his PS3 (I use a wired connection) and he was trying to limit the bitrate to 15 Mbps and had his Mpeg2 qualtiy set to Low WiFI and he was still having the bitrate jump over the limit he set with the rip he was using (he was using a 1080 rip, I know). Well, I was playing around helping a friend out and I noticed that the PS3.conf file has the VideoMaxBitrateMbps=0 while the 360 is set to 30, so I got to thinking that maybe the render config files were overruling the PMS.conf settings. So I tried an experiment for my brother, since I'm connected through a wired connection, I leave everything maxed out for best quality, well, I set the PS3.conf limit to 15 and left all of my PMS.conf settings the way I always keep them, max bitrate=0, etc, and I played a 720 rip and a mkv of Howl's Moving Castle whose opening in the hat store always gives me problems because I have the video scaler on set to 1080, it'll still go 100+ mbps over a wired connection and overflow my network and stutter. Well, after setting the PS3.conf to 15, my bitrate never passed 15, the highest I obtained, with all of my other settings intact, was 14.6. So I think there may be a problem in the code where the render configs overrule the PMS.conf.

So for any of you having bitrate problems, especially over wifi, find your render's config file in the Renders folder and change the VideoMaxBitrateMbps to a more manageable level, somewhere around 15 or so and that should fix your bitrate problem for now.

thought id finnaly get around to testing something the bravia 5500 renderer config file, said mediainfo needs testing well it actually works alot better with it enabled. mpgs/mpegs would before mostly come out blocky for some reason sometimes even with a black screen, since ive enabled it they play fine also played a whole bunch of avi's/mp3's/jpgs/mpgs without any problems whatsover so maybe we could put this in the official build now i havent made any other changes to the file.

Hallo mazey,
thank you for this conf file, I will try it with my bravia V5500!
Have you also tested the internet radio and internt video streaming? Does it work correctly?

So for any of you having bitrate problems, especially over wifi, find your render's config file in the Renders folder and change the VideoMaxBitrateMbps to a more manageable level, somewhere around 15 or so and that should fix your bitrate problem for now.

I just tried this with build 415 as I get stuttering all the time, but it doesn't work for me. It'll still spike to >50 depending on what I am playing.

My brother was having the same problem, apparently I didn't have files with big enough original bitrates to cause trouble, but he went and found the .conf files in a temp directory and deleted them because the program was still using the old temp .conf files before the modifications were made by him.

Shagrath, I noticed something about the Max Bitrate Limit. I was helping my brother set up PMS over Wifi for his PS3 (I use a wired connection) and he was trying to limit the bitrate to 15 Mbps and had his Mpeg2 qualtiy set to Low WiFI and he was still having the bitrate jump over the limit he set with the rip he was using (he was using a 1080 rip, I know).

So I tried an experiment for my brother, since I'm connected through a wired connection, I leave everything maxed out for best quality, well, I set the PS3.conf limit to 15 and left all of my PMS.conf settings the way I always keep them, max bitrate=0, etc, and I played a 720 rip and a mkv of Howl's Moving Castle whose opening in the hat store always gives me problems because I have the video scaler on set to 1080, it'll still go 100+ mbps over a wired connection and overflow my network and stutter. Well, after setting the PS3.conf to 15, my bitrate never passed 15, the highest I obtained, with all of my other settings intact, was 14.6. So I think there may be a problem in the code where the render configs overrule the PMS.conf.

This is working as intended. It's not that the renderer overrules, it's that PMS uses the lower of the two values (remember that 0 is unlimited).
In the case of your brother with the PS3 on wifi, the "bitrate jump" is due to the PS3 reporting the wrong bandwidth during stuttering.
In your case, the initial values were both unlimited, so it stayed unlimited. Then you forced 15 on one, so it forced 15. If you set the PS3.conf to 100 and PMS.conf to 15 you should see it force 15.

SubJunk and Chocolateboy did a great job, lots of changes have been implemented recently. You might be interested in PMS 1.20.439 which I have compiled for you:

Have a nice evening, Otmanix

Thanks to subjunk, choclateboy and otmanix for the great work!

I have a question though. What is the difference between this and the subjunk/community build?
