I used the following procedure to get ps3mediaserver working under Fedora 12. I have tested this with avi and mkv files.

1. Open a terminal.

2. Type the following command to grab the ps3mediaserver application: "wget http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/files/pms-generic-linux-unix-1.20.412.tgz" Note: the most recent version can be found using the reference links at the bottom.

2. Unpack the application: "tar -zxvf pms-generic-linux-unix-1.20.412.tgz"

3. Navigate into the applications directory: "cd pms-linux-1.20.412"

4. Modify the permissions for the executable script: "chmod 770 PMS.sh"

5. Get superuser permissions: "su" enter root password

7. Install dependencies/supporting binaries: "yum -y install ffmpeg mplayer mencoder"

8. Return to normal user permissions: "exit"

9. Run the server: "./PMS.sh"

I utilized the following resources though I have not tried the init script yet. Looks pretty straight forward.
