To quote:

General:

Built from SVN r949. Released as beta because some code changes haven't been widely tested yet.

Changelog:

• Backwards-incompatible API changes (for plugin developers/packagers) - see http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12235 for more details
• Updated binaries build script to include Linux support (thanks, happy.neko!)
• Updated OS X MPlayer to include fontconfig support
• Updated Bulgarian translation (thanks, JORDITO!)
• Updated German translation (thanks, smo!)
• Updated Dutch translation
• Added full featured IP filter with support for wildcards and ranges
• Improved network interface choosing algorithm now skips virtual interfaces
• Updated libraries (configuration, jgoodies and slf4j)
• Detect file system changes runtime (adding/removing folders/files).
• Updated JRE auto-download from 6u27 to 7u1
• Added option to create a desktop shortcut to the Windows installer
• Renderer image improvements
• Improvements to tab layouts
• Maximum bandwidth setting works
• Limit bandwidth to 110Mb/s by default which should solve a lot of "stuttering playback" reports
• Speeds displayed in Mb/s instead of Kb/s
• Recognise forced subtitles (thanks, ExSport!)
• Clarified English language labels
• Updated MPlayer and MEncoder on Windows from Sherpya's old builds to SubJunk's new builds which fixes many playback issues, colour-conversion bugs and more (but possibly has drawbacks for some files, too)
• Main (Status) tab displays a large tick when it's connected to a renderer instead of a PS3 or warning image
• Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.50 from 0.7.47

Nice one. I like tools that where cross compiled and can be used on every platform. Big THX to SubJunk.

Awesome. But wondering who really need to force his pc to stream a movie, when Showtime do his work way better. Long time ago, i used it a lot, yelling on crash too, cause of bugs hehe.

Does it work with 3.73? In case, i understand

[HeyManHRU]

Does it work with 3.73?

I don't see why it won't work on 3.73 OFW.

[Bartholomy]

K, now i know why people still keep using it, for MKV movies

[Dinirex]

Awesome work mate !

FYI if you're looking for something to bypass cinevia protection, these newer versions are no go for you - they've removed this experimental feature due to legal concerns. They did start looking at this, but i don't think it ever ended up in the actual releases (it was in subversion at some point, but they've since removed it). As per their forum: ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7220&start=130#p58376

I'm not interested in bypassing cinevia, but thought others might be.
