@Michael S
Depending on your operating system and PMS version you may have to put configuration file web.conf in the correct folder (profile data) first. Restart PMS after doing that.

Make sure that VLC engine is enabled. I’m not sure if VLC is still supported in later versions, I don’t use it.

I think I’ve got everything set up properly, but I can’t figure out how to access VLC from the PS3 side. I’ve seen a “Web” folder in a few videos I’ve watched about PS3 Media Server, but that doesn’t appear on my PS3, and I’m thinking that may be what I’m missing. Any ideas?

Hello guys,

First of all thanks for your blog, is very usefull.
I have only a little problem with PS3 MS, the FONT SIZE for included subtitles in MKV files. I can see them but the font is really big and even if I change it from Transcoding Settings – Video Files Engines – MEncoder – ASS Font settings: Font scale this doesn’t affect the size of the font from MKV. Is running only for a separtare subtitles used at .avi files for example but for MKV not.
I’ve tried with included subtitle, with separate subtitle, is the same result.

Do you have an idea how can I solve this issue? Thanks in advance and best regards!

Hi, PMS worked perfectly on my older laptop with windows 7, but I can’t get it to work with my new laptop. After 30 minutes the tv goes silent, then the video cuts off with an error message of 8002 8801 ( i think) dlna error. I haven’t been able to find help at the ps3mediaserver.org either. Both the ps3 and the laptop are hard wired to the router.

@akhlan
go to start menu > K-lite codec pack > tools – codec tweak tool
press button “thumbnail settings” and deselect mkv, apply and close

Hy,

i have applicated this tutorial, very completed, thanks Gatts79 but now, when i go to an explorer Windows and if the folder contained mkv files bigger than +/- 2Go my explorer.exe crashed….

I have try to fixed this issue by changed parameters of Haalli Media Splitter but without success
- Haalli Media Splitter / Options / Explorer integration /Enable thumbnails extraction value switched to Yes
- Haalli Media Splitter / Options / Explorer integration /Thumbnails offset value switched to 1000

Have you try to resolved this problem ?

Hello,

First of all for writing this guides are most useful, but ive encountered an issue and im completely clueless about it, i have been using the ps3 media server and out of the blue ive got the software stucked at “Searching for renderers” tried googling for answers and couldnt find anything, im pretty sure its just something like a checkbox but ive already tried all options and even reinstalled the application several times. Any suggestions for this case? Thanks in advance
