229w ago - With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, here is some PlayStation 3 news that we missed from earlier this month.
That being said,
ps3mediaserver has been working on PS3 Media Server which is a DLNA compliant Upnp Media Server for the PlayStation 3, written in Java, with the purpose of streaming or transcoding any kind of media files, with minimum configuration. It's backed up with the powerful Mplayer/FFmpeg packages.

PS3 Media Server for Win32 1.00 /
PS3 Media Server for Linux 1.00 /
Win32/Linux BETA 1.01 (Update Only) /

Current Features:
• Ready to launch and play. No codec packs to install. No folder configuration and pre-parsing or this kind of annoying thing. All your folders are directly browsed by the PS3, there's an automatic refresh also.

• Preliminary support for pictures based feeds, such as Flickr and Picasaweb
• Preliminary Internet TV / Web Radio support with VLC, MEncoder or
MPlayer Windows Only:
• Lossless 5.1 PCM transcoding with DTS movies
Finally, in a holiday update
HERE on the author's blog he states that the 1.01 is a BETA package, so things could be broken. You just have to extract contents into the application folder (and replace the pms.jar file). Also, an official 1.02 version will follow next.
This is for service for my downgrade only. You should post in the help area for help on this. If you post there I would be more than willing to help. ...
I'm sorry for my noob question (V_V)
Then, what are the FFMPEG and other codecs package for?
Considering this is only version 1.0 of this application, i see great improvements and features to come. Maybe this can be the XBMC for PS3??
1 feature i would love to see, which is available on XBMC is the ability to play media files that have been compressed in many rar files, therefore saving you the trouble of having to unrar files before playing them.
Anyway very happy with the app, keep up the good work, and i look forward to the new features to come.
