I just downloaded ps3mediaserver-1.40.0-i486-1.5aj.plg

 

did a telnet putty and did installplg /boot/config/plugins/ps3mediaserver-1.40.0-i486-1.5aj.plg and got the below. Any help?

 

root@unraid:~# installplg /boot/config/plugins/ps3mediaserver-1.40.0-i486-1.5aj.                                                  plg

bad download, deleting

 

That's the java install package that is failing from someone's dropbox account.  Your going to struggle to find any JRE packages on slackware because it's been removed.  Maybe someone else could help you find or source a version that will work.

 

You'll be better starting here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=3072.msg159830#msg159830 and using a more up to date version of PS3MS, or UMS (and off shoot of PMS).

Thanks! hopping on that one to follow through your steps.

Hi

 

First of all just to say I'm new to unix/linux but I'm learning very fast so thanks for everyone that has contributed.

 

I've been trying to get PS3MS running on my unraid server. The object is to view my media content hosted on the unRAID NAS via PS3.

 

I've followed Lacehims post 384 in this thread and downloaded all the files. One of the links is broken so i downloaded ffmpeg-0.11.2-i486-1alien.txz.

 

I can see the NAS on my PS3 but there is only a web folder on there. I also checked from my windows media player and again the device is there but no content.

 

I hope someone can provide me with some guidance to get this working please.

 

 

Here is my go script

 

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &
/boot/unmenu/uu

cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c
# PS3 Media Server
cd /boot/custom/ps3ms
installpkg jre-6u11-i586-1.tgz
cd /boot/custom/ps3ms/mencoder
installpkg *.tgz
cd /boot/custom/ps3ms/mencoder
installpkg *.txz
cd /boot/custom/ps3ms
./PMS.sh

 

Java , mencoder run ok but i get the following message when i run ffmpeg:

 

/usr/bin/ffmpeg: /usr/lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required

Hi mhd143

 

What version of unraid are you using?  Mine ran fine on 4.7 but when I upgraded to 5B11 PS3 Media Server was flaky, so I was running UMS (Universal Media Server) which is an offshoot of PS3MS but something (I think one of the packages, not UMS itself was causing crond errors), anyway I've since been using Plex, which has been very good, and also has a DLNA server.  Just another option for you.

 

Anyway, back to PS3MS.  The ffmpeg error you are getting is telling you that you need to installed GCC compiler.  If you have unmenu then you can install while you find out what packages are missing and once you have it all running you can stop it running on every reboot.  It's in unmenu under packages called GCC (You'll notice that under the description is mentions glibc.

 

Don't use Windows Media Player to check the server, it's useless and even when it's working it doesn't show up!  Use your PS3, or if you have a PC, download a client like XBMC.

 

Here is my PMS.conf file

 

hidevideosettings = false
notranscode = false
nbcores = 2

thumbnail_seek_pos = 600
mencoder_ass = false

mencoder_encode = keyint=1:vqscale=1:vqmin=2
usecache = false

I would say that your (home) comment in your conf isn't doing any good, remove that.

 

Good luck.  Also you can run UMS and PS3 side by side (effectively running 2 DLNA servers) to test.  They use the same packages, and java.

 

If I had more time I would update all the packages UMS & PS3MS uses and ask for some help to make a plugin.  It's a great little DLNA server, but you really need to fiddle to get it running smoothly as you are finding out.  I don't have a test server, and Plex is just ticking all the boxes for me at the moment so I just stopped using UMS.

 

Good luck, and let me know how you are going with it!

I would say that your (home) comment in your conf isn't doing any good, remove that.

 

Good luck.  Also you can run UMS and PS3 side by side (effectively running 2 DLNA servers) to test.  They use the same packages, and java.

 

If I had more time I would update all the packages UMS & PS3MS uses and ask for some help to make a plugin.  It's a great little DLNA server, but you really need to fiddle to get it running smoothly as you are finding out.  I don't have a test server, and Plex is just ticking all the boxes for me at the moment so I just stopped using UMS.

 

Good luck, and let me know how you are going with it!

 

Hi Lacehim

 

I'm using 5b11 which was the latest version available.

 

I've tried to configure up a folder level /mnt/user/Media but it made no difference.

 

The content is played back fine from my XBMC client which is hosted on a windows 7 OS but that is because I've mapped the source of the content to a UNC path.

 

Maybe it has something to do with the hostname IP address not being in my PMS.conf file?

 

So my next steps are to:

 

1. Check on PS3

2. Try from an XBMC client

3. GCC compiler

4. If no joy maybe try another DLNA server or downgrade.

 

Do we know which is the latest stable version PS3MS works with?

 

Thanks for your help

 

You can also check to see if it's running by accessing http://SERVERIP:5001/console/home

 

Install the GCC compiler and get FFMPEG working first, that might solve the problem.

 

Also try my conf, just put your IP in, your UUID & update the folder

 

I have to admit I like Plex, it's managed via a webui so much easier to set up.  I haven't used my PS3 with it because I've been using the media centre on my LGTV instead, but I can test it if you would like me too.  PS3MS and UMS are primarily aimed at Windows from the info I've read, and linux support isn't that great from what I've experienced.  I'm not a linux guru so I really only fudged my way through getting this running.

 

Also here's the PS3 part of my go file, and it was starting with the server ok.

 

# Start PS3MS
cd /mnt/disk/apps/ps3ms
installpkg jre-6u11-i586-1.tgz
echo "Installed JRE" | logger
cd /mnt/disk/apps/ps3ms/mencoder
installpkg *.tgz
echo "Installed TGZ Packages" | logger
cd /mnt/disk/apps/ps3ms/mencoder
installpkg *.txz
echo "Installed TXZ Packages" | logger
cd /mnt/disk/apps/ps3ms
nohup ./PMS.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &
echo "PMS.sh Started" | logger

 

Also your media folders, is it called Movies (Home) or Movies? 

 

You listed /mnt/user/Media/Movies (Home) but it may not like the brackets.   Also it might be case sensitive.

the share is called Media but yesterday i went a folder level down to Movies (Home) as a test. I'll revert it back to the share name and i did check case sensitivity but thanks for the reminder.

 

I'll have a go over the weekend with the suggested approaches and let you know how it goes.

 

Thanks again

First thing i did was change the folder path  to the share then added your PMS.conf and checked the PS3 and it was there.

 

I played back a few movies which were ok then i went back to the same movie and it just seems to take ages to load and other times there is nothing in the folder all within minutes of each other. Really weird

is ffmpeg still running with errors?

 

You could also try UMS to see if that sorts the problems out, I was running them side by side for a few months, and UMS was a lot more stable.  PMS would crash.

So what I gather after reading this is that it still is a WIP and doesn't work 100% of the time.  It doesn't effect unraid or its contents and unraid can still run as normal with errors
