Introduction
Amahi supports several applications for streaming content over the network using DLNA. PS3 Media Server (PMS) is different in that is was designed to transcode video files on the fly so they can be played by the Sony PS3 as it supports a limited number of video & audio codecs. As PMS matures, it supports a growing number of devices.
Getting Started
PS3 Media Server cannot be configured through a web page. While we've tried to create a sane default install, you will find a need to adjust the configuration. To do so, you have two choices. Edit the PMS.conf file manually; or run PMS.sh to start the console app.
- To edit PMS.conf, open /var/hda/web-apps/ps3mediaserver/PMS.conf ussing you favorite editor. The file permissions are set so that anyone in the users group can edit them. Documentation for the various settings will be best found in the PMS forums.
- To use the console app, login to the console of your HDA; open the computer app and browse to /var/hda/web-apps/ps3mediaserver/PMS.sh. Double click to run. If prompted on what action to take, select Run in Terminal. Make any edits; click Save and Click Quit.
- Once you finish making changes, you'll need to restart the service. Open a terminal, su to root and run service pmsd stop then service pmsd start
