Topic: Compatibility with PS3 Media Server

Hi there. I'm a fan of SVP since I discovered it's existence. Recommended it to a lot and friends and all. Fantastic program, and it will make me buy a 120Hz monitor.
However, I wonder if there's any way to make it work with PS3 Media Server. I use it to watch animes on my TV, but since I started to use SVP, I traded the quality of LED for the smoothness of SVP.

If it's possible, I would like to have both - without taking my PC to the room. haha

Thanks!

Morello
I have looked PS3 Media Server description.
Good news: It supports avisynth as I can see in file PMS.conf, parameter "avisynth_convertfps = true".
Bad news: PS3 Media Server can transcode to MPEG2-PS only. This format unsupports video framerate higher than 30 fps.

Anyway you can try. wink

Thanks! Sorry for taking long to respond, I'm being busy those days.
So, is there any way to transcode to another format? I'll probably have some gain with 30 fps, but I still prefer to watch on my PC if that's the case. hahaha If it's possible with some changes, I will go to PS3 Media Server forums and ask for official support.

Thanks!

it's using SVP in the transcoding chain

Installed it, but how do I make SVP work with it?
It shows the video just fine (sometimes a bit laggy) on PS3, but it looks like watching it on PC without SVP. I'm using UMS 3.0.0-a3 and I activated True Motion. Maybe it is running at 30 FPS and I'm unable to see the difference?

Thanks for responding.

Re: Compatibility with PS3 Media Server

It may be not so clear but "True Motion" IS a processing through SVP.
In other words it's using SVP engine in transcoding.

You don't need to have SVP Manager running.

Please ask SubJunk for further questions about UMS.

That's strange... the video just doesn't seem as fluid as in my PC. My monitor is OC'd to 68Hz, but I don't think that those 8 more hz are making a big difference. Maybe it is working at 30 fps, as MAG79 said? I gonna send a PM to SubJunk to see if he knows how to make it runs at 60 FPS on my console.

When I get everything to work, I will try to make a tutorial for newbies like me, who knows nothing about transcoding but want to use SVP with PS3.  smile
