  1. Is there already anyone who inspectioned the code behind PS3 Media Server (Commonly PMS)??

    For sure I trust it, It's released under GPL2 and it's open source.

    Maybe I'm a bit paranoid… anyway, I hope someone bring me an answer.

  2. Can I stream internet radio “USING VLC” to the ps3 with this “PS3 Media Server”.

    I currently stream a particular internet radio station on my computer without problems using VLC…..but want to stream it to my PS3. Is this even possible or am I ahead of my time….?
