I have Windows XP and my WiFi is connected to my PS3.
When I start PMS, it says no renderers were found and always comes up with the red X.

@Drew
If a mkv video contains a PS3 compatible audio and video codec PMS changes the container from mkv to m2ts on the fly. This is done because mkv container format isn’t compatible with PS3, but m2ts is… This is done by using an engine called tsmuxer.
If a mkv video contains a non compatible audio and video codec PMS converts the codecs to compatble ones (e.g. MPEG2/AC3) and also changes the container from mkv to m2ts on the fly. This is done by using an engine called mencoder.
All these actions are done on your PC and don’t require Internet access. Converting to MPG2 takes more network bandwith because mkv videos usually use h264 video codec with higher compression rate.

Hi,
I have a question in regards to this bit:

“Some guys use mkv2vob and connect usb hard drives with converted files to PS3. This is the stone age way of playing multimedia files on PS3. With PMS there is no need for converting files anymore. If it’s necessary PMS does this for you – online…”

I wish to play mkv format on my ps3 via streaming, currently using windows media centre so will be using ps3mediaserver…. but it says if required PMS converts for you online? Does this mean it connects via internet to convert so using more bandwidth or does this occur on the local computer and then streams to ps3 in compatible format?

Thank you for posting your tutorial in English otmanix !
Sometimes people are so desperate for help they overlook the fact that you have learned what you learned by reading and doing. They want the short cut and don’t mind hitting on you for the answer. You are kind to try to help and I wanted you to know that I don’t take what you have done for granted.

Ich bin Ihnen sehr dankbar,
bob
