Several in the rtmpgui.ch channel give rtmpdump the ‘live’ arg
(<advanced><![CDATA[-v…]]></advanced>) as well as the swf to spoof.
 
I don’t know how these plugins work together to make use of that information, but the infrastructure is definitely in there somewhere to do this.

Worst/laziest case: you can post that ustream guide in their dev forums for someone else to figure out.

Glancing at the GUI, it looks like it could be configured to use another transcoder ‘engine’ which doesn’t mind partial/in-use files. The PMSEncoder plugin might be coaxed into dumping ustream.

In fact, it doesn’t even show that file at all even if you try to stream directly to a temp file and read it back on the PS3.

If you save to a file and ctrl-c, the result should be a typical flv video. I can see a named pipe partially read would lose it’s header though (one reason to save the fancy stuff ’till after it’s working).

It’d be useful to test with other videos you’ve got lying around to be sure ps3mediaserver works in mundane circumstances. Get each piece working, then rig them together.

What’s weird is ps3mediaserver has had plugins that incorporated rtmpdump, and it’s using ffmpeg for transcoding, which has understood flv for a long time now.
 
I don’t have a PS3, but I’ll play around with the app a bit…

In fact, it doesn’t even show that file at all even if you try to stream directly to a temp file and read it back on the PS3 — I think it won’t recognize it as a valid file if it’s locked for writing. I might try again later to pipe into a file without locking it, but I suspect PS3MediaServer won’t even show it in its index.

Google searches on the matter don’t turn up anything of use either. There’s another media server called Serviio that can apparently send UStream streams to the PS3, but I’ve been completely unable to install it properly on Linux. Well, I can install it, but trying to configure the library gives me an “error 500” which, the logs tell me, means it was unable to add one of the variables that’s on the page to the XML config.

Worse, I can’t find the bloody XML config to add it myself. *sigh*

God damn but I wish I had more time these days to investigate that stuff myself.

I’ve started installing PS3 Media Server on my old laptop I use to stream stuff to my PS3. I will let you know how that goes.
