How to mod Home with your own posters and movie's !!

Howto change posters, movies in Home !!!
First download Apache HTTP Server 2.2 Download
Then download simple dns plus (trial version) Download

Install apache server and simple dns plus (in apache if it ask a server etc just put in your ip address)

Then go to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs
Download the files from Streetskaterfu Download and extract the c.home map here

Then open simple dns plus and click on records, and click on Quick zone wizard.
Then put in as zone name “scee-home.playstation.net” for Europe or "scea-home.playstation.net" for usa without the quotes and in web server ip your ip address for example it looks like this (this is for europe)

Then go on your PS3 to Network settings and set the dns server to manually and then put your ip adress there

Then click ok, now go in htdocs to c.home\prod\live\Screens. There are the xml files for the screens now open like CinemaChannels.xml, in that file are all the posters and movie’s you see in the theatre change like

Code:

 <SCREEN ID="AuditoriumScreen7"> 

    <TYPE>VIDEO</TYPE> 

    <SOURCE>http://scee-home.playstation.net/e.home/mfe/content/Movies/brideshead_trailer_5.mov</SOURCE> 

  </SCREEN>

Code:

 <SCREEN ID="AuditoriumScreen7"> 

    <TYPE>VIDEO</TYPE> 

    <SOURCE>http://scee-home.playstation.net/e.home/mfe/content/Movies/PineappleExpress_Trailer-SD.mp4 </SOURCE> 

  </SCREEN>

Then in screen 7 you will now see the PineappleExpress trailer. I think you now know how to do it for the posters ;p

If you change something you MUST restart home !

And CinemaChannels.xml is just to show you can do that in the market place,... also

Here some examples of what you can make by me
YouTube - Home replaced posters and playing a custom trailer
YouTube - Home showing my posters :p
YouTube - PS3 Home showing PS3HAX Posters ! (Pirate asked it lol)

enjoy ;)

Nice tutorial, someone should paste some PS3Hax logos up there :)

lol ill do that pirate :p

good tutorial, but pointless imo :P unless you can put a exploit in there (anybody tried the libTIFF one?)

Firstly.
Does this work with people who reside in Ameriaca, Because don't they connect to scea-home.playstation.net ? So I think american people will have to redirect that, (Im not 100% but someone try it?)
Second,
You need to log in to home BEFORE you do the quick set up wizzard, otherwise you will get an error 'Downloading content failed' or something along those lines...What do I do know? Ive tried setting up the quick setup wizzard just after I managed to log in, and its waiting for me to press ok on the MOtD, This just seems to load all the official posters etc. Then ive tried going to my room, Wow, No furniture (Probs because all the model files are missing...) Then going back to the area that I modded, All screens are black and never load...
How do you get passed the 'There has been a problem downloading content' error?

Good Job On Finding How To Do It, If I get it to work , I have a better camera lol.

hmm it works before you login here with me ...

Ok, I have just realized even without, all the dns redirection, I am getting that error...
Time to reinstall home.

EDIT:
As I just deleted home, I noticed in my ps3 proxy server, a link to seem an xml file to enable or disable the home icon, http://select.ww.home.playstation.ne...try-select.xml
Maby if someone does not have the home icon and is in an unsupported country for the open beta, redirect to a modded version?

EDIT2:
Link for the Home 70meg install
http://pkg.ww.home.playstation.net/h...00000001-E.pkg

lol and indeed maybe it must be scea-home.playstation.net for usa i added it but i cant test

and also added one with ps3hax posters

and i think ill host it on my server i dont think its illegal as skfu placed the link on his blog

Couldn't someone skin everything in HOME and distribute the XML files to people so you could have a different HOME? I really want new Shirts and stuff, that would be Rad. Or something so you can connect to a different server(like Private Servers)

Anyone got something which reads/unpacks SDATA stuff? The .sdat files are SDATA as it says so in the file(as viewed in HEX Editor)

To be correct, it says "SDATA.2.2.0.W"
