This guide assumes you have Ant, Subversion (svn), Java, and X11 installed. I'm building PS3 Media Server (PMS) on OpenSUSE Linux, which is what my media server runs. You can also follow this guide to build PMS on Mac OS X. So SSH in or open a terminal and lets get started:
svn co You must login or register to view this content.
cd ps3mediaserver
ant
cd dist
Inside the "dist" directory you'll find a tarball -- inside the tarball is PMS compiled, ready to go.
tar -zxvf pms-generic-linux-unix-1.21.2.tgz
cd pms-linux-1.21.2
./PMS.sh
Now I don't run the GUI; I leave PMS running in the background.
Here is a copy of my startup script:
#!/bin/sh
PMS_HOME=/opt/pms
PMS_JARS="$PMS_HOME/update.jar:$PMS_HOME/pms.jar:$PMS_HOME/plugins/:$PMS_HOME/plugins/*"
cd $PMS_HOME
nohup /usr/bin/java \
-Xms1000M -Xmx1280M -Xss32M \
-Djava.encoding=UTF-8 \
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true \
-classpath "$PMS_JARS" \
net.pms.PMS console > pms.log &
Easy, peasy -- now you can enjoy PMS on the absolute bleeding edge.
Also, if you're experiencing audio/video sync. problems when watching DVD ISOs, you can try these settings out; they worked for me:
Open the PMS GUI and go to [Transcoding Settings] -> [MEncoder] -> [Expert Settings : Codec-specific paramaters] and uncheck "Use application default codec parameters" and copy/paste these into "Custom parameters" at the bottom:
vcodec == h264 && width >= 1280 :: -mt -lavdopts fast
framerate == 29.97 && container == iso :: -mpegopts tele_src=24000/1001:tele_dest=24 -ofps 25 -noass
framerate == 25 && container == iso :: -mpegopts tele_src=25:tele_dest=25 -ofps 25 -noass
(container == avi || container == matroska) && vcodec == mpeg4 && acodec == mp3 :: -mc 0.1
container == flv :: -mc 0.1
container == mov :: -mc 0.1 -noass
container == rm :: -mc 0.1
Or, you know... Just download the pre-compiled binaries:
