Run PS3mediaserver on Sheevaplug
Information detailing how to get PS3mediaserver UPnP mediaserver running on the Sheevaplug.
Contents |
Getting Java
apt-get install openjdk-6-jre-headless
Takes up a fair amount of room (~30MB on my system), but it opens up a large amount of other Java stuff.
Getting the Server
It's not in Ubuntu's package management system, so you need to get it manually. You should visit the ps3mediaserver homepage and get the URL of the latest Linux Java package.
You can then download it:
wget http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/files/pms-linux-1.10.5.tgz
and extract it..
tar -xvzf pms-linux-1.10.5.tgz
You can then cd to the server directory:
cd pms-linux-1.10.5
change the permission on the shell file that starts it (not sure why it's not already executable...)
chmod +x ./PMS.sh
You should now be able to run up the server:
./PMS.sh
General Configuration
For some strange reason only known to the developers, then Linux download does not contain a configuration file, so you need you get one from their SVN tree!! (??)
wget http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ps3mediaserver/PMS.conf
you should then open this up and have an edit. At minimum you should select the folder you want to share. ( set the "folders=" variable):
folders= /usb/media
That should be enough to get basic media streaming working to PS3, to get things like transcoding working, you will need to install recent builds of ffmpeg and mplayer.
Configuring for PS3 support
PS3 support is enabled by default (hence the name)
Xbox360 support
Unknown...
