PS3 Media Server 1.50.0 Released

Submitted by greg; November 21, 2011


Fresh out of beta -- PS3 Media Server v1.50.00... It's the DLNA media server to be running if you're wanting to transcode and stream them high-def MKVs to your PS3. Best of all it's written in Java, supporting all the major platforms: Windows, Linux and OS X. You'll notice many improvements, especially since mplayer/mencoder has been replaced with newer builds, correcting colour-conversion bugs, which I experienced more than once. FULL v1.50.00 CHANGELOG

• Backwards-incompatible API changes (for plugin developers/packagers) - see http://tinyurl.com/3qtgk5k for more details
• Updated binaries build script to include Linux support (thanks, happy.neko!)
• Updated OS X MPlayer to include fontconfig support
• Language updates:
  
  • Updated Bulgarian translation (thanks, JORDITO!)
  • Updated German translation (thanks, smo!)
  • Updated Dutch translation
  • Clarified English language labels
  • Speeds displayed in Mb/s instead of Kb/s
• Added full featured IP filter with support for wildcards and ranges
• Improved network interface choosing algorithm now skips virtual interfaces
• Updated libraries (configuration, jgoodies and slf4j)
• Detect file system changes runtime (adding/removing folders/files).
• Updated JRE auto-download from 6u27 to 7u1
• Added option to create a desktop shortcut to the Windows installer
• Renderer image improvements
• Improvements to tab layouts
• Maximum bandwidth setting works
• Limit bandwidth to 110Mb/s by default which should solve a lot of "stuttering playback" reports
• Recognise forced subtitles (thanks, ExSport!)
• Updated MPlayer and MEncoder on Windows and OSX from Sherpya's old builds to SubJunk's new builds which fixes many playback issues, colour-conversion bugs and more (but possibly has drawbacks for some files, too)
• Main (Status) tab displays a large tick when it's connected to a renderer instead of a PS3 or warning image
• Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.51 from 0.7.47
• New natural sort option for file order: Alphanumeric (e.g. Season 2 before Season 10)
• Always allow "Restart Server" button (#1186)
• Updated FFmpeg for Windows to r31564 from r30656
• We now support Samsung AllShare, along with our existing support for Samsung WiseLink
• Allow to configure subtitle color if using PMS in headless mode (#1280)
