Topic pretty much says it all. I want to get to the files on the server via DLNA. I presume once I get this successfully running, any DLNA app should see the files on the server. No?

 

I just upgraded tonight to 5.0.6 and followed the instructions, but one problem. The link to the ffmpeg file is broken. I find many different files, but from some of the other posts I've been reading, I need a specific one. I'm hoping someone can point me to a correct file.

 

Then the question will be, if the name is different from in the instructions, should I rename it or does it not make any difference?

 

From my reading, I'm not optimistic I'll have success even when I find the ffmpeg file, but fingers crossed.

 

 

Hello,

I was able to install both: Plex and PS3 Media Server on my Unraid server.

Please read all updated instructions in attached file (only about PS3), let me know if any questions.

I am still trying to workaround things like buffering, but the steps listed in the doc worked just fine for me as far as installation.

I've updated some links and included a few images.

 

Best regards,

    Highjoke.

Thank you. I'm away from my server for a couple months, so I won't be replying on status until after that, but I will report back. It's good to finally get some feedback.

After PS3 Media Server installation, I've found that ffmpeg has not been installed, the package has .txz extension and has not been called from /boot/config/go script (installpkg *.tgz). I've tried to install it manually in mencoder directory, all went fine, but when I've ran it, it gave me the error:

 

root@HJTower:/boot/custom/ps3ms/mencoder# ffmpeg

ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libpng14.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

After a few tweaks, I've decided to download and install ffmpeg utility from the following site:

http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/

 

The installation went fine, old 'not working' binary was replaced in /usr/bin and the issue was resolved:

Hyper fast Audio and Video encoder

usage: ffmpeg [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...

 

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

 

But the playback is still pausing, working on solution now, comparing with Plex performance (have both Plex and PS3 installed) and Plex seems to be handling the same video files much better (no buffering/pausing at all).

 

Will update later.
