PS3 usage guide¶
Getting started¶
Download files here
For featureset of Showtime see https://showtimemediacenter.com/projects/showtime/news
Video output¶
Showtime on PS3 has been tested with 576i, 720p and 1080i video resolutions.
I've tried to set reasonable defaults for overscan compensation. But if it not correct for you it can be adjusted under Settings -> Display and UI settings
Hardware limitation on playing media:¶
H264 with profile > 4.2, H264 High 10 (10bit), VP6, VP8, VC1/WMV9. Showtime tries to play those files anyway, but success varies to sound only, or blackscreen when reframes or resolution are high.
