• PS3 Hacks, Showtime , 04.05.2012

    Andoma has once again updated his awesome PS3 application Showtime, Showtime is without a doubt, the best piece of home-brew software on the PS3 and guess what, he isn’t charging anyone to use it, it is all completely free, here is a a quote from the Change Log, take note, this is not an official release my andoma, but part of the 3.5 test model:

    3.5.175-g1f7c531

    Add support for continuous playback of all video items in a directory
    
    This needs to be enabled in the video playback settings (default off)
    
    Fixes #501
    Fixed #530
    Fixes #864
    Fixes #875

    3.5.171-gf1b3001

    Write logfiles to disk (in cachedir).
    
    These logfiles can be obtained from

    3.5.134-g7d1f686

    ps3: Switch memory allocator to TLSF
    
    This is another attempt to fix the out of memory issues that has
    been plauging Showtime for quite some while.
    So far it looks much better than when using jemalloc

    Showtime should now be able to play back both ISO files and
    VIDEO_TS DVD folders.

      Is this safe to use or should I wait for the official release by andoma?

      Oh thanks, don't really know much about it. Use the one built in Multiman. It would be cool if they made the way you select your videos in a xmb type of thing

      Going by the changelog, its a shame they can't introduce playlist support like on e.g. XBMC or itunes so the playlist isn't the folders the videos are in but a reference to them.
