Nice.

Following up on their previous release, this weekend the PS3 Media Server folks have released version 1.50.1 Beta 61 for Windows and Linux users.

Download: http://www.spirton.com/uploads/PMS/pms-setup-windows-1.50.1-SB61.exe / http://www.spirton.com/uploads/PMS/pms-generic-linux-unix-1.50.1-SB61.tgz / http://www.spirton.com/svn/PS3MS-SB/

To quote from SubJunk on the PlayStation 3 Media Server v1.50.1 Build 61 changes:

This build functions as the bleeding-edge testing version of PMS. Here you can find features and bugfixes before they are added to the official version, and sometimes ones that never will be. Using this build is mostly a way for you to see the newest developments and to help us by providing feedback.

Changelog 1.50.1 Build 61:

• Switched from using Git source back to SVN
• Synchronised with official r1024 from r1014
• Updated MediaInfo for Windows and OS X to 0.7.53 from 0.7.52
• Updated MPlayer and MEncoder for OSX to SB22, in sync with the Windows version.
• Updated MPlayer and MEncoder to SB22 (Changelog: MPlayer & MEncoder SB22 released Spirton)
• Updated MPlayer and MEncoder for OSX to SB21, in sync with the Windows version.
• Updated MPlayer and MEncoder to SB21 (Changelog: MPlayer & MEncoder SB21 released Spirton)
• Updated MPlayer and MEncoder for OSX to SB20 (Changelog: MPlayer & MEncoder SB20 released Spirton)
• Updated FFmpeg for OSX to 0.9.1
• Increment year
• Updated FFmpeg to r35509 from r31564
• Try to fix tsMuxeR with newer FFmpeg versions based on FFmpeg #898 comment (ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/ticket/898)
• Updated to latest versions of libraries (codec, jdom, logback and slf4j)

Cool, downloaded quickly, might be useful one day

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.
