The majority of “Unsupported Format” and “Corrupt Data” errors are the result of missing or invalid codecs.

Hey thanks for the comprehensive list of tweaks...really helped but having some problems like the other people here with regards to the MKV files as well as HD AVI files. Probably because my connection strength is way to weak.

Just as a suggestion though, could you include a guide to setting up the PS3 as well since this is also required to play files at their BEST..

Looking forward t part 2 and maybe an update since TVersity has an update too

Thanks so much for putting up the screen shots. They're priceless! I was a little unsure about SSH with DD-WRT, and the text only explanations from the DD-WRT forums were *ok*, but a picture or screen shot in this case, is worth so much more...

Thanks again!

Funny thing, I set this up on my home PC and everything works fine. But, when I did exactly the same thing at a clients office it won't work. I can RDP to the "hostname:port" without using Putty and it works fine. I can connect using Putty and build the tunnel with no problem, but when I try to RDP using "localhost:port" it seems to try for a few seconds then fails with the error "Remote Desktop Disconnected: The client could not establish a connection to the remoet computer. The most likely causes for this error are:... " and then names 3 things that aren't the problem. I can exit Putty and try RDP again using the full Internet "hostname:port" and it works fine that way. It's been driving me nuts all day. I've compared every setting I can think of but can't find anything different about the way these 2 host PC's are setup. One works with SSH, the other one just will not.

To everyone with problems regarding Tversity, PS3 and .mkv-files:
Visit http://ekoshyun.blogspot.com/2... or simply go to http://forums.tversity.com/vie... and scroll down.

The problem lies in the decoding of the subtitles inside the .mkv-files which tend to mess shit up. There are workarounds though. Anyways, good luck!

Hi, I did everything that you describe here, (port 22 to 443, 3390 to 3391 with Vista) but when i go to de RDC and point to 192.168.1.10:3391 (My server) apeears a message saying that can't find the computer... What could be wrong?? My RDC inside the Lan works just fine, the problem is when i'm outside the lan.

Thank you!

Hi,

Great guide, I have no problem at all reproducing music or videos; however if I tried to see a picture it will take forever and will give and error 8000100B, do I need something else in order to reproduce pictures? BTW, I checked on the ps3 and the formats for the picture should be supported.

Hi Jon, dependng on where you are connecting from, port 22 might be blocked by a corporate firewall or some other type of filter. I suggest setting up your DD-WRT router to listen on port 443 (Secure HTTP) as many firewalls leave this port open for secure web browsing access.

Then, you must change the port in the SSH server info in the Putty client to port 443 as well and try to connect. All other settings should remain the same. Give it a try!

Hi Chris, I wonder if you would mind giving me a hand? I have followed your tutorial--for which, many thanks--but I am so far still unable to get SSH access to my router from outside my LAN.

I have done both your Step 1) ("Enable the remote access SSH service under Administration->Management in the DD-WRT configuration") and Step 2) ("You must also enable the Secure Shell service under Administration->Services").

Do you think I need to open a port somewhere else within the DD-WRT web UI? Would the SPI Firewall be preventing the SSH connection?

Many thanks for your time!

Jon

Thanks for your help getting this set up. I am running into a major block, though, and i have no idea why my computer is doing this...

in regards to

"Go to the Windows Services applet (from the Run… menu type “services.msc”) and in the list find the “TVersityMediaServer” service. Double-click on it and go to the “Log On” tab and change the process to run under your Windows account as shown below:"

after entering my user name, when i click Stop and then Run, i get an error message, telling me there is an issue with the login info. when i change the password to mine, i get the same error. and when i change the password at all, it automatically changes itself back to the long number of dots originally located in the field. what the f is going on here???

Have you heard about an RD tool called Supportsmith?
I would appreciate any comment about it.

Let CCCP install all codecs. Run CCCP Insurgent first to make sure there's no previous codec packs installed.

Re: Optimizing TVersity for the PS3 (Part I)

John — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 03:57:13 -0000

I assume when installing tversity (newer version than mentioned here) you should not install the codecs when suggested since the cccp pack already took care of that?

This is a great tutorial I got TVersity to show up on my PS3 fine the only issue I am having is video play back especially .mkv files. I have installed CCC/K-Lite and I cant get the video playback to work. When I try to play a file the audio and video stutters after about 30sec. I have uninstalled both TVersity and the codec packs and reinstalled all of them I also tried it on a clean system. So can anyone help with this issue. TVersity installs its own codecs should I not install them and just use CCC/Klite or should I install them also? I have tried just CCC pak and just Klite pack. I use the CCCPinsurgent tool to see if any codecs are left. My computer is more than enough to have this work, but I am at a loss.

Any help is appreciated.

I have just installed this this weekend, went pretty smoothly, everythings on default at the moment, and it's playing everything. And now I have found this guide I can tweak it...

Just wanted to say a couple of things
If you want to play audio - you have to do it from the audio menu on the PS3
If you want to play video - you have to do it form the video menu...etc
also
on my system I do a search for media servers and it constantly returns "no server found" and then I just leave it and after about 2 or 3 minutes it appears by itself... odd

CCCP works fine for me with any files. I haven't had problems with it in a year of using it on my computer but I can't say the same for PS3 because I don't have one yet. But Everything works for me with CCCP, no problems on my friends PS3 and all I did was download and istall it and made no changes at all. works fine for his PS3 and great on my PC... most of the anime files I download are MKV as they are better quality than AVI and are mostly 720p.

CCCP comes with ffdshow (video and audio)/ haali media splitter and all of the codecs installed in one place, so it's not confusing at all and they can all be controlled through MPC easily.

My system is not a dual core and the only time it seems to lag is when windows update tries to do something it doesn't have to haha. My pc is only 1.8GHz as well, with 1GB of RAM... ffdshow and haali can also be controlled to only show up with certain players, I only use Media Player Classic, which came with CCCP

This Guide is great But CCP is going to screw you over when it comes to MKVS, for codecs Instead of CCP all i use is FFDSHOW, AC-3 filter, Core AVC, Haali Media Splitter and Lame MP3 codec. All files play perfectly for me this way and i don;t have a Bloatware Codec Pack on my system causing Excess bagage also In FFDSHOW i turn off Decoding of ac-3 audio and H264 Video as its not very good at either task compared to other codecs i listed.

So if you want simple and easy. This works like a charm Just Make sure if you decide to try this You Remove all Codecs from your pc first , and reboot afterwards! before u begin installing these codecs clean.

Just to add to my comment about CCCP... it was made for the majority of anime fans that loved watching their programs and needed codecs for them. They even have Chiyo-chan (or atleast mine does) from the anime Azumanga Daioh... =P CCCP all the way!

Just a bunch of questions,

I am a vivid user of CCCP mainly for anime on my computer as a lot of it is encoded in crazy formats, though the most common is AVI and MKV. If I use this guide I will be able to completely view all of my shows in their HD format correct? It doesn't matter what format it original was made for and it doesn't matter what resolution the fansubbers have made it to be correct?

One last thing, for those people who for some reason, and I imagine some people still do not know where to find it. CCCP or Combined Community Codec Pack can be found here http://www.cccp-project.net

Am I able to view my files on my PS3 without having to start up TVersity all the time?... do the files get stored on my PS3's HDD and are they able to be read at anytime at the resolution I have set on my HDTV that atm (I might get a new one) only supposrts 720p?

CCCP is way better than any other codec packs I have seen out there, it gives you everything you should need to view just about every common file used for whatever it is you want to watch.
