Unlock More Video & Audio Formats on the PS3 with Movian!

[@blainelocklair]

Awesome! We both put out a Movian video on the same day - and neither of us knew it was coming! If that isn't two great minds thinking alike, I don't know what is. :) Thanks for putting together so many great videos over the years. You're like Ferris Bueller: you're a righteous dude. :)

That's how it goes sometimes 😂

You guys are awesome 😎👏🏽

PS3 was an absolute beast of an HTPC back in the day. I remember discovering it could play VOB (DVD rip) files natively, AND you could use DLNA to stream them over a network. This was before Plex. Would I bother with Movian today? Probably not. There's lots of options now that will do it. The Xbox One S and Series S, which both have native Kodi and VLC apps, make excellent media players if you want something you don't have to fart around with. But I always applaud those who are keeping these older consoles not just alive, but adding new features as well.

[@MrMario2011]

A huge reason why I got my first PS3 back in the day was due to media playback, definitely advertised itself well saying It Only Does Everything.

[@Sampsonay]

Mr. Mario uploading a video = good day.

[@MrMario2011]

Big love

MKV is just a container, it'll work fine as long as the video codec is one that's natively supported by the PS3 (e.g. x264). If the video codec is natively supported by the PS3 then Movian uses the native support to play it, regardless of the container format, so that's why MKV-x264 works. When it comes to x265, unfortunately the PS3 does not have native support, and while Movian includes ffmpeg, the performance is awful for the same reason why many games of the time that were released for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 performed better on the 360 - If you want something to perform well on the PS3 you need to code it specifically for the PS3, and you need to use these 6 extra SPU cores if you want to achieve anything. Theoretically x265 on the PS3 is very possible, but only if someone reimplements it from scratch specifically for the PS3.

[@MrMario2011]

Yeah, so really at the end of the day... Stick to x264 on the PS3 hah

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Uncanny timing mate, I've just started using this for watching TV shows, there's something about owning media, even if it's just on an HDD. Streaming sites were so convenient but I'm definitely moving away from a lot of them, KZbin will always be king tho.

[@MrMario2011]

Hey, absolute love KZbin, I get it. Channel surfing on here has completely replaced channel surfing network TV for me 🤣

[@RDJ134]

Using Movian for years, only swapped it for movies to my NVIDIA shield and the reason was the H265 that it cant play. For the rest great media player.

[@MrMario2011]

Absolutely!

[@freddy2072]

I updated mine through movian m seven I updated minecraft m seven when it notified me on the top of the screen that there was a new update that was at 11. 00

[@freddy2072]

And all my movies play just fine with no codec problem

[@Roshenbo]

I hope this is a new updated version of this app. Because the version I have sucks! It hardly plays ANYTHING I throw at it.

[@MrMario2011]

Hope it helps!

[@EgonSorensen]

This reminded me so much of XBMC on the OG XBOX. Is there something similar to this on PS4? I know there's a PS4 media player natively, but.. Miss those extra options shown here, it's hard to setup streaming from own server - having to register accounts, etc. 😞 Or am I missing something?

[@MrMario2011]

You could check out pPlay for PS4, I did a video on it a while ago.

[@EgonSorensen]

@@MrMario2011 Thanks, just checked it out. Seems the PS4 really could use a better media player imho - hopefully some much much better at coding than me will do so one day. Until then, this is an alternative - thanks!

[@----Matrix----]

Is there any way to watch original bluray disc movie with external subtitles on PS3?

[@MrMario2011]

Not that I know of, unless you make your own BD copy and bring your own subtitles file.

[@youbbi.]

Brother, I have this application and it contains many movies, but in Russian

[@SpyYoshi]

it crashes apon openning (ps3hen user here)

[@sKULLK1D93]

I have a question I've put some mkv files (movies) onto my PS3. Some files are working with sound others are just playing with no audio is there any way I can fix this?

[@MrMario2011]

That would depend on the codecs used, some won't be compatible with the PS3

[@sKULLK1D93]

Thank you, been a fan of yours for a long time you helped me and so many others with cfw thank you Mr mario 😎

[@Error-pz5hl]

a SoundCloud app one day? 🙃

[@MrMario2011]

That would be cool, although I doubt we would see it.

0 reason to use this. kodi works on Xbox series consoles and can do the same thing and play 4K movies

[@MrMario2011]

Which is a whole different console? That's the same as telling someone there's 0 reason to use a console since PC can do the same thing. People have their reasons for their usage!

[@81milliontotallylegitimate10]

This is a PS3 video, you tard

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I'm literally using it now, and I was before I saw this video. 1 reason to use it is because I want to watch something off my HDD 🤔

can you use invidious on the xbox though? take that, microshaft shill.
