I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to use playon on the ps3 but it keeps giving me the 800288e1 error. I'll post if I figure something out but I'm guessing it's something Sony has to deal with.

Glad to finally find someone else having issues since the 4.20 update....well not glad you're having problems. Now PS3MS shows that it thinks my PS3 is a Sony bluray player. I've been playing with different servers to find what I like and I'm having problems with Plex, Playon, and PS3MS.

Edit--Of course, now that i've posted, everybody decided to play nice again. I'm having a hard time diagnosing things because it seems to sporadically work.

Yesterday I saw my first "This content cannot be played (800288E1)" as well on the 4.20 PS3, but that was to a file that gave me "Data corrupted" before anyway. Different message, but same end result.

Anyone know if this has been addressed yet? Suddenly files I could play last week are almost constantly giving me this error (I got it to work once somehow, then it got desynced in the middle of play and trying to use the Goto function broke playback and I couldn't get it to work again. It takes forever to start transcoding, and by the time it finally does start, I guess something thinks it's too late and even as it continues adding to the buffer, the PS3 decides the content just couldn't be played, argh.

I'm getting the (800288E1) error code when I try to stream MPG4 videos that were taken with my GoPro Hero2. I'm streaming through a cable and PS3 Media Server 1.60.0. I even tried converting the file to AVI but it still gave me the same message. I've talked to both the GoPro tech support and the PS3 tech support and they don't have a glue. The PS3 tech support can't even find out what the error code means. Everything else strams just fine, AVI video taken with my digital camera, pics, music, everything but the GoPro video.

Sorry, I met PP4, not MPG4.

I have successfully converted them to M2TS with AVS and they stream fine, sound seems synced. I will continue to try other conversions and post back.
