streaming HD content to PS3
it took literally HOURS of googling last night to find the solution to this, so I'm going to help the google hits by posting a link :: mediatomb transcoding settings to get H264/AVC encoded mkv (matroska - the enclosure of choice it seems for HD content) files streaming via mediatomb/DLNA to the PS3:

Enjoy!
Tho note - as mediatomb is transcoding, the file can't be paused, restarted or skipped through, so be prepared to watch your movie/show in one sitting!

hi!
ReplyDeletei've also been searching for those settings. as soon as i am at home i will test it.
thanks a lot!
by the way, pausing is not possible by pressing the start button, but it is possible by pressing the ps button.
thx, luki
Hi Luki, glad I could help.
ReplyDeleteAnnoyingly, when using the VLC transcoding/streaming, rather than just using mediatomb as a way to access the file on the PS3, the stream can't be paused, fast forwarded or anything. I'm not sure why this is - something to do with the streaming.
