    Homebrew, PS3 Hacks, Uncategorized , 06.09.2011

    Some time passed since the latest Showtime official release was made available, now andoma releases a new version with many fixes and improvements for the PS3. The following changelog shows only the things that can be viewed on ps3 the others were specific for Linux so were discarded, for the complete changelog visit: https://github.com/andoma/showtime/commits/master

    Changelog (3.1.228 – 3.1.203):
    - Having code with side effects inside assert()
    - Remove unused define
    - Drop stray printf
    - Improve HTTP streaming slightly
    - Fix rendering of empty lines in SRT files…
    - Avoid scanning directories and probe files if media streaming FIFOs are ……
    - Plug a memoryleak
    - fixed_buffer_mem WIP
    - ps3: Fix some picture order problems…
    - ps3: Rework video decoding a bit, hopefully a bit better now
    - Use halloc() for audio buffer
    - ps3: Add support for multichannel audio
    - Added dvb programme description below programme list.
    - Add support for floating point audio in audio pipeline.…
    - Implement our own pool allocator…
    - Improve read-ahead cache a bit

    Basically, this new release brings fixes for HTTP streaming operations (e.g.: previously was impossible to play videos from Megavideo, and maybe some others), multichannel audio support (supporting fully DTS 5.1 channels!), some fixes to improve memory allocation for better reprodution of videos on ps3.

      Niiiiccce.

      Here's an easy tip;

      put PS3 HDD as the first option to browse files, dev_bdvd second. Noone uses dev_bdvd as it doesn't work.

      Showtime for multiMAN is updated to version 3.1.231.g9cfc9.dirty. You can also update it within multiMAN.

      Thanks to andoma for this nice release, adding support for multichannel audio on the PS3.

      I don't know about you guys, but this update is actually WORSE for me. All my videos that have 7.1 audio support now have NO sound and some of the films with 7.1 support don't even want to play! As in black screen AND no audio. I'm talking about .231 version through multiman.

      Can anybody help me here? I can't really see if this version's better if I have problems like these. Thanks!

      Well I don't have 7.1 files to test with but 5.1 work just fine. I guess andoma will fix the problem you have.

      Would you like me to upload a sample on my server and put a link here? Or is that forbidden?

      And yeah, 5.1 works fine.

      I talked with andoma and he is aware of 7.1 channels problems, PCM 7.1 channels should work while DTS and AC3 aren't working at all and are downmixed to 5.1 channels.

      You don't need to change any setting, Showtime will automatically detect if it can play in 5.1 channels

      Something I noticed: I played DivX video with 5.1 AC3 audio and my receiver showed 5.1 DTS via optical. I guess it is something in the audio driver configuration in showtime.

      But it works so I'm happy.

      AAC, 4800 Hz, stereo is now not working with the new update, there is a screeching sound, but other mkv files are ok. Rmvb is stuttering.

      I actually tested this release with an 720p x264(h264) AC3 audio rip and tried rewinding/pausing a lot and I'm surprised that it didn't crash at all. I just hope he manages to fix the 7.1 issues and everything will be great.
