PS3 mediaserver - corrupt files

[browncoat1]

Hi Guys,

I am very new to Ubuntu but looking very much forward to distancing myself from microsoft products..

Anyway, Ive installed PS3 Mediaserver as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer the program starts and can be seen from my PS3 but every video I try to watch gives me a corrupt data message.

I am obviously doing something wrong but i've been trying to work it out for quite a while now and I reckon its time to enlist some help.

Just as some background I have 5 hard drives with videos inside my PC and I dont seem to be able to name/rename them anything, they just show up in media folder as new volumes and I have to add them manually in the navigation/share settings window of PS3 mediaserver, which is a bit tedious..

Please be gentle with me.. i'm an Ubuntu virgin

Well ok.. as an update, i've gotten PS3 mediaserver working properly now. I looked into the "trace" window within PS3 mediaserver and it showed an error with libdev and mediainfo, so I installed mediainfo. Viola!

The only issue I have now is more to do with the Ubuntu operating system I think.. My 5 local drives within my PC .. Do I have to mount them every time I log in to Ubuntu?? I would have thought they should just work straight up?
