I would liek to set up FUPPES to transcode to my PS3, but I’m not clear on the syntax and placement of the XML nodes and such. Would you mind replying to my e-mail address and sharing what you know?

Thanks!!

I just set up my PS3 for wireless and it runs Tversity fine after the Firmware update. I’ve never tried Fuppes but I have tried Media Player 11, D-Link and Nero Media Server and Tversity leaves them all standing. If Fuppes is better than that, it must be awesome.

Thank you SO much for that.. Been trying for ages to get that damn thing working.. Your instructions did the trick.. Works sweet now on my Ubuntu.. Phu.. Time to lean back, relax and open a beer (or soda depending on your age)

Cheers

I haven’t really tried transcoding from mp4 to divx. The media server idea is really cool and all, but my computer sits close to the tv so I bought a VGA cable to connect it directly nd use the tv as a second screen solved everything.

My only problem with transcoding is that it’s really heavy, as in CPU-intensive, for your workstation. More so for MP4.

AWESOME!!! I was trying to get WMP11 to work with my MP4’s forever, and now there is no need to. Thanks!!!
Since this does transcoding, what are your thoughts on changing the mp4 from mp4 to divx… until Sony fixes their st-st-stutter problem with streaming mp4’s??? I think I am going to give it a try, but if someone has already tried it… or has comments regarding the idea, let me know.

Thanks again!!!!!

Fuppes is the only one I’ve tried. Seemed like the best free option according to this comparison post (http://www.rbgrn.net/blog/2007/08/how-to-choose-dlna-media-server-software-in-windows-mac-os-x-or-linux.html)

I find the transcoding really useful since the PS3 supports only DivX.

Has anyone seen a post regarding TVersity vs. this Fuppes? I have been using TVersity for a while now, but since the new firmware, I can’t connect anymore.

The xml configuring of Fuppes seems to be a pain in the ass, but if it’s that much better, it might be worth a switch.

(I also liked TVersity because it supported all of my media, +7000 songs, handful of videos which Windows Media did not).
