PS3HEN Using exFAT USB drive with multiMAN MOD

[mycorift]

I have the latest multiMAN MOD v4.91. When I plug in a GPT formatted exFAT USB drive, I scan for new content and dont see anyway to browse the USB drive for the movies I have stored on it. Am I doing something wrong?

It appears to show up as exFAT0: instead of dev_usb0: in root. In mmOS I can't see this exFAT0: device even though its accessible and viewable in File Manager v1.42 Nightly.

I'm guessing its because multiMAN MOD doesnt support GPT partitioning, so I reported this to his git repo.

multiMAN does not have direct support for exFAT and has a poor support for NTFS due it uses an old PFS library.

multiMAN MOD includes MMFILE.SELF which is a modified version of Simple File Manager by tps. This File Manager has proper exFAT and NTFS support, in addition to FAT32 and UFS. It allows copy/move/rename/delete files and folders in these file systems.

The games listed in the games dashboard are scanned by prepNTFS.self which is a modified version of prepISO. This also supports scanning games on exFAT and NTFS on specific folders: PS3ISO, PSXISO, BDISO, etc.

The movies are handled by Movian. I know it handles NTFS and SMB, but I'm not aware if it has exFAT support.

Ok I was confused if Movian was a sub project of multiMAN MOD. Thanks for the clarification. In that case its probably not as urgent to me. GPT support would be an improvement for modern drives though.

Sony's DLNA has to trans-code all my videos to h264 so it stutters a lot. I think this is a limitation of the PS3 hardware as there isnt a native way to play h265 so transcoding is the only shitty option.

Couldn't you do the trans-code ahead of time with a bigger packet cache or do you need the feeds to be close to live as possible? iirc there's away to set the cache in ffmpeg.

Maybe, though I dont really feel like setting up a ram disk just to use for live transcoding.
Reencoding my entire library ahead of time to h264 just for the PS3 would consume a lot of both space and time. I would rather try something else.
