Agreed, I'm planning on waiting till Sony does their, "buy 1 year of ps plus and get 3 additional months free"...
...
Yes, but I don't see how that helps native PS3 playback. I assume you're talking about transcoding.
This is a welcome addition to the homebrew library. Would it be possible to add support for a codecs folder (ala XBMC)? Anyway, thanks andoma!
no hd means no mkv files, that's the only thing my ps3 can't play.
