65w ago - Following up on their v1.51.0 release, today PlayStation 3 developer SubJunk has announced that PS3 Media Server 1.52.0 is now available for Windows and Linux users.

Download: PS3 Media Server 1.52.0 (Windows) / PS3 Media Server 1.52.0 (Linux) / PS3 Media Server 1.52.0 (Mac) / SVN

To quote: Changelog:

Fix program starting on Linux
Support videos with resolutions that are not divisible by 4
Improved overscan-compensation
Fixed the display of Hebrew subtitles
Improvements to logging
Updated Czech language (thanks, valib!)

Upgrade Notes:

For 1.23.0 and above:

Just uninstall the older version and install newer one

For versions prior to 1.23.0:

To retain your old settings you may have to copy your old config file/s to a new directory.
To find out where the new directory is on your computer, run the program and go to the Traces tab and look on the 14th line, the line that says "Profile directory:", that is the folder your config files should be saved now.
If you use the "media library / cache" option you should reset it.

I think there was some mention of MKV stutter on the forums - check the comments on the last few releases: ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=8 (the main announcement forum)
