Who episode below.Īnd here is some proof of me running an MKV episode of Dr.Who Note that the name of the episode has Jones in it and using the Display option during the video playback I have shown the same file name, but since the name doesn't scroll sideways like it does in the XMB it doesn't show the MKV extension but rest assured I have tested this out my self I can confirm this by providing proof of me running an MKV Dr.


Exit the settings and scroll to the top of videos and look for "Search for Media Servers".Enable Media Servers by going to your XMB and navigating to "Settings" -> "Network Settings" -> "Media Server Connection" -> "Enabled".Turn on PS3 and make sure you are using Wi-Fi / ethernet connected to your PS3.Download and install PS3 Media Server from the previously provided link onto your OS.This may have been due to exiting while the program was still scanning folders when the media library was still enabled, but it's stupid Java, so who knows.From the above site you will find links for Windows / MAC / Linux versions of the software. One time so far the javaw.exe process stayed stuck in memory on exit, consuming over a GB of RAM. And it doesn't mention that the server has to be restarted to recognize this change. I had to disable transcoding of mp4 and others, because it was transcoding most files even though my WDTVLive device supports them directly just fine. I disabled and forego the media library to avoid this. Only caveats I've found: - The database size it creates for a modest media library it rather large, and takes forever to scan. But the program is nicely configurable, and does work rather well. Well, it's still a thing made with yucky Java, but at least now it includes its own runtime of it, so there's no ancient security risk, system polluting, full Java install required anymore! Of course, being Java, it's a RAM, CPU, and disk space hog.
