[mythtv-users] MythTV media server on PS3

[Josh White]

Myth UPnP works on my D-Link DSM 520 (media extender...and what wet my
whistle on MythTV)  Anyway, it uses UPnP and works from Myth for the most
part.  I just found a problem where some transcoding formats don't work.
I'm currently playing with settings to see if I can find something that
works, and if not, I simply won't transcode.  I'm also having trouble with
displaying my video collection.  Movies that worked just fine on my DSM 520
when served via uShare do not work through Myth.  I had an issue with uShare
where it assumed .mp4 files were audio, so I renamed them .mov and they
worked fine. I tried doing the same thing again, but this time renaming the
.mov files .mp4, but no such luck, it still doesn't work.  .AVI files play
fine through myth on my DSM-520

 Does anyone have any ideas on this subject?  I realize this thread is about
the PS3, but perhaps there's a common solution.
