Next, we need to create a PMS.conf file in the ps3mediauser home directory. PMS_PROFILE="/home/$PMS_USER/.config/ps3mediaserver" Edit /etc/default/ps3mediaserver, locate the following items in the file and make the changes as indicated. Now lets edit the PMS config file and setup the custom user and set it to autorun on startup. By default, PMS runs under the root account, but it’s always a good idea to keep things as secure as possible. Next we create a system user account for the PMS to use. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:happy-neko/ps3mediaserver Let’s add the repository from which we will install the PMS and run the installation. It makes for an easier install and updates are handled via apt-get.Īpt-get install mplayer mencoder ffmpeg openjdk-6-jre After all, who needs a GUI on a server anyway… Since PMS version 1.81.0, I’ve stopped using the manual installation and instead am using the repository. So there are a few extra things we need to do so that it runs on a Ubuntu Server in headless mode (without a GUI). So far it plays anything I throw at it on the Ps3 and the Sony NMP-200 I use around the house.
PS3 media server is now my go to application for transcoding and playing media around the house since development on Mediatomb came to a halt. I will leave this PS3 setup page here, but I suggest UMS instead.
PS3 MEDIA SERVER APP HOW TO
Please see my page on how to setup UMS in Ubuntu. I find it to be better than the PS3, easier to setup and maintain, and transcodes better. NOTE: 5-20-2014 – I have switched from the PS3 MediaServer to Universal Media Server.
