Just last night i bought MediaLink for $20 this is the FIRST time i buy software.. and this happens... ugh.. I know there is a free way to get a media server but medialink was the easiest one...

Now if PMS can transcode mkv files (i know it can stream) then I'll be the happiest little boy on earth.. I don't think it can thou.. can anyone confirm, debunk this???

This is from readme:

Requirements
============

A core 2 duo CPU (mine is a E6750, 2.66GHz) for smooth 1080p transcoding, but 720p seems to be transcodable with a good P4 :p

Didn't try anything higher than DVD quality yet, but from the above, I guess the answer is yes.

Just installed it on Ubutu. Easy installation.

DLNA media servers stream music, video, photos from your PC to DLNA client (such as PS3 and I think XBox). This one seem to have Matroska support, which is kind of big, since Matroska files are normally used for high quality video (Bluray rips etc.) and movie industry doesn't like them for that reason (ripping).

Funny coincidence, as I'm streaming some video to my PS3 using this same program while reading this story on the front page.

If you haven't tried this program yet, what are you waiting for? Download it and start it up. It doesn't require an install to make it work.

This program works so well I'm looking into building a dedicated box with a gigabit ethernet card, and use a crossover cat5e cable between the PS3 and media server to get my media. :)

So are you playing them natively? Or is this doing transcoding on the back end?

If it is streaming them natively than that is a big deal but if it's just transcoding I've been doing that for ages with all media types in SD and HD.

EDIT: NVM. I see it is transcoding but still sounds like great app.

im not really sure. i will check when i get home and tell you if it plays natively or just transcoding. because if i play 1080p .mkv video the quality is crystal clear like blu-ray.

what other media server that you use? the one that transcodes the video to your ps3?

I love this program. The only downside is it doesn't load up automatically when you turn on your PC like Tversity does ;__;

9 - so..
by the looks of it, it transcodes .mkv files

so that probably means any subtitles that can be turned on or off in the mkv file will be lost once its being transcoded to play on the ps3. correct?

Sorry to ask what might be an obvious question, but where do you get HD .mkv files.

My co-worker gets them from Pirate Bay. Some are really good quality, but you need powerful CPU or few of them. For me it's a lot of hassle, you have to find them, downloads can take a while, you have to maintain download/upload ratio, you have to store them, organize them. But, they only cost you your time if you're within internet usage cap.

13 - I'm getting freeze issues
Runs okay for about a minute, then starts freezing. Transcoding bar is at 50% when it happens.

Also doesn't read Avi files directly. have to transcode those as well.

edit:
Oh the Joys of fiddling...

It probably means that either your PC isn't powerful enough or your network is slow. However, it could be a load of things. Plus the app is kind of beta/opensource.

Its a dual core 2.1GHz. It shouldn't be too much for it.

Anyway, been fiddling. Works a little better. Just hope if I update I don't lose the settings.

More importantly, support for Mac OS X users had been added. And it works for me.
