Background: In terms of the HDPVR, if your output filename ends in either .ts or .m2ts the recording contains exactly the same video/audio content, it’s only a difference in the filename extension. Why? To ensure better support in other applications.
A number of people have emailed and asked me how to stream .ts and .m2ts recordings via UPnP to a PS3 for playback. I use the excellent MediaTomb [link] application, which happens to be OpenSource and customizable. Why burn recordings to disk just to play them back, right?
Part of the problem with the MediaTomb is that it’s default configuration file ($HOME/.mediatomb/config.xml) is not going to work properly with the PS3, or the HDPVR. So, here’s the configuration file that I use [link] and it’s working pretty reliably for me.
Right click and download this file, rename to config.xml and install this into your environment, overwriting your current configuration file. In my case:
mv mediatomb.config.xml $HOME/.mediatomb/config.xml
Restart MediaTomb then enjoy!
