Mac OS X support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There is currently no support for OSX.

I tried running the Linux version but got the following java error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad
version number in .class file

The java version on OSX is Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
(build 1.5.0_16-b06-284)

I'm guessing Java 6 is required.

Btw, to see your debug.log you need to right click and then choose show package
content on the app. Then look in Contents/Resources/Java for debug.log.

Weird, it's showing an out of memory error. You don't have anything else running
that's taking up a lot of memory (vmware for instance)? Close everything and try
again. Maybe ps3mediaserver will have a better idea what's going on here.

that is really wierd, cause I don't have nothing else open, vmware I use only 
for PS3, but it's out most of the 
time. And with 8GB ram it looks very unreal. I'll try few things ..
thanx a lot

Thanks for your hard work!  the PS3 media server working in my PS3 and MBP C2D 
2.16!!!

The first time I saw the icon of the media server in my PS3 is just exciting 
like I brought a new game.

I got a problem with playing the rmvb file.  The file can play and the video 
seem OK however, the sound play 
faster than the video that those rmvb video cannot enjoy right now.  What do 
you think the problem is??

Also that when I quit the program I found that the ffmpeg cannot stop and keep 
using my CPU and my MBP 
need to force quit them in order to speed it up back.

on my mac mini ( Intel core 2 duo cpu 1,8 ghz and 2 gb of ram) with lepard up 
to date, it does not run.. the 
problem is that i cant use java 1.6,  ( there's a download on apple site but is 
only for 64 bit, i've tried anyway but 
no go).
I would like so much to use it !!!
Can u fix it please?
Tnx a lot !

I have the same problem as superduca. I was wondering if there is a potential
work-around for 32-bit Macs using SoyLatte. 
The program is summarized here:

No matter how this works out I appreciate your hard work.
Happy New Year,

Can you build that will support Java 1.5?
Right now the only the newest Macs with leopard (10.5.2) can run this because 
of Java
1.6 requirement.

Original comment by Akir...@gmail.com on 31 Dec 2008 at 8:29

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'll work on instructions for the next release on using SoyLatte instead of the
official Java distribution. I need to test it for myself first. 

Unfortunately Apple only distributes Java 1.6 for 64bit capable CPU's, so PPC 
and
Core Duo users are out of luck for now.

Just to make it clear, currently you need a 64bit capable Intel CPU (Core 2 Duo 
or
better) and Leopard with all the latest updates installed. The shipping version 
of
Leopard does not include Java 1.6 and will not work.

As stated earlier, it's very unlikely that PSM will switch to Java 1.5 as that 
will
require a lot of work. So I'm working on a workaround for the next release.

I got it working on a 1.5 (on Windows, though)... problems I've met so far:
- character encoding issues: cp850 charset not included in 1.5 -> truncated 
japanese 
names, etc.
- no systray (I don't know if it's relevant on OSX)
- not really tested the whole transcoding bunch

main one being packaging: it's a shame to force those on java 1.6 to use 1.5 
with 
potential troubles they would not have on 1.6

I'm waiting for robin's feedback on soylatte now...

Original comment by eduardo....@gmail.com on 3 Jan 2009 at 11:46

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've had a look at SoyLatte and I can make instructions for using it but it 
will be a
bit technical, there is no easy install for instance. So I basically see 3 
possibilities:

- Keep it as it is and include technical instructions in the readme for users 
without 1.6
- Change to 1.5 for mac and there is 1 build that works for everyone
- Make 2 builds for mac, 1 using 1.6 and the other using 1.5 or SoyLatte

Personally I would say the first option or the second if it's possible. Having 2
builds will cause a lot of confusion and more work to be done every release.

The systray is no problem at all for mac. Maybe you can send me a 1.5 build by 
mail
so I can test if everything works. It might be troublesome to support 2 java 
versions
though.

The first option is the most future proof and it will still work for everyone 
with a
bit more work on the user side.

Original comment by robinmul...@gmail.com on 3 Jan 2009 at 4:23

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just want to say to everyone who doesn't understand the technical details that 
this
is basically Apple's fault. I can't believe how bad their support for Java is. 
Make
sure to complain to them about it and maybe it will be fixed in an official way 
sometime.

I got it working again, after using VMWare and XP on Mac. Had to remove folder 
VMware Fusion from app support, 
otherwise PS3server use it's vmnet network, and is enything but handy.
But, looking at the Activity Monitor, after quiting PS3MS, one instance of 
mencoder stys still active, using 9 threads. Only 
way to stop this is by Force Quit option.
In fact, everytime I start a different movie, another mencoder apears and takes 
another 9 threads and about 20-30MB real 
memory as well. Is there anything I could do about this?

thank you guys and very happy new year

Hi, i used to run your awesome software on my Imac, pretty smothly i think. 
Today i have downloaded your newer version and tried to run on XP though 
Paralles. The thing is that probably 
there is a conflict now thoughout my network and i cant run PSM neither on my 
OSx platform or my XP platform. 
Any ideas?
(ps. i tryied forcing the ip but nothing worked)
Thankz in advance.

I can confirm that subtitles don't work as reported here earlier, I'm working 
on a
fix for the next release (OSX will probably skip 1.02 as it has a serious bug).

Hi I was testing the new version for MAC, with Java 1.5 (under Leopard in a 
Core Duo) and I see some problems 
with mencoder. Sometimes the process didn't stop after I stopped the movie, and 
other times it crashed so its 
not possible to play anything.

I attach the log.

All of my MKVs that failed with prior version now work as well - nice work!

I'm still having trouble with copying files to the PS3 hard disk.  When I 
attempt to do so, the PS3 reports that 
there is not enough hard disk space, but when I check free space using "System 
Information" on the PS3, it 
reports 50GB free.  

It would be great to have a setting that enables control over how much buffer 
gets filled before a movie 
begins playing.  

Thanks for an amazing app!

The new 1.02.1 version is working great on both Linux and OSX. Thanks for the

Off-topic: Is it possible to connect the PS3 with Wifi and Cable at the same 
time? I
want to use Wifi for the Internet connection and Cable for a direct (gigabit)
connection to a Linux server.

First of all, thanks for a great SW!

I really like this initiative but unfortunately I've encountered a lot of 
problems
with the latest version 1.02.1. I have both problems with mkv-files as well as
iso-files. It seems like the mkfifo repeatedly returns code 1 (probably due 
some kind
of error). In the earlier version 1.01 I didn't experienced the same problem.

I am attaching one of the trace outputs.

Hi, today I try again, with another movie+srt.
I saw that if i try to play a movie from its original folder (not from the 
transcoded folder i got this problem), see 
debug_fail.log.
But if i play it directly from the transcoded folder, everything goes Ok, see 
debug_ok.log.

The problem is of course mencoder as it is requiring a library version that is 
not
install in my system (10.4.11). Executing mencoder directly results in the same 
error:

Interesting, I guess the app is still Leopard only.

I don't have access to a 10.4 machine so it will be difficult to make a mencoder
build for it. Could you check if mplayer and ffmpeg give any errors (they are 
in the
same directory)?

But ran into problems compiling 1 or 2 libraries, managed to sort out 1 but the
