UPDATE: PS3 Media Server v1.40.0 (Windows, Linux and OS X)

After the Beta release of PS3 Media Server on August 18^th by PS3 developer SubJunk, news came to us that he has now released the official PS3 Media Server v1.40.0. For those of you that are new to the scene, firstly - welcome, secondly - some info regarding this piece of homebrew.

PS3 Media Server is a DLNA-compliant (Digital Living Network Alliance Wiki) Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Media Server. Originally written to support the PlayStation 3, PS3 Media Server has been expanded to support a range of other media renderers, including smartphones, televisions, music players and more. Because it is written in Java, PS3 Media Server supports all major operating systems, with versions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The program streams or transcodes many different media formats with little or no configuration. It is powered by MEncoder, FFmpeg, tsMuxeR and AviSynth, which combine to offer support for a wide range of media formats.

For versions prior to 1.23.0:

• To retain your old settings you may have to copy your old config file/s to a new directory.
• To find out where the new directory is on your computer, run the program and go to the Traces tab and look on the 14th line, the line that says "Profile directory:", that is the folder your config files should be saved now.
• If you use the "media library / cache" option you should reset it.
