Where can I find the source code for the PMS-Rendr Edition
Your main web page says this is an open source project however I cannot find any links to the source code here. Going to the PMS main website it says it's GPL, but they don't have any reference to your Rendr Edition. I have downloaded their version, but it is obviously not the same.
Can you please point me at the Rendr Edition source or modification patch files?
Thanks Much
[EDIT]
Awesome thanks, must be totally blind ;-)
They are on this page under section "For Developers"

so out of the box what video/file formats should stream without transcoding? almost everything I play transcodes to mpeg-2 even though psm is set to not transcode m2ts and mkv
not a big deal just curious.
In the best case, Blu-ray players (hence Rendr) will play the following video formats without transcoding
1. Video codec must be one of MPEG2, H.264 or VC1
2. Size must be one of 720x480, 720x576, 1280x720 or 1920x1080
2. Frame rate must be 30 (for 720x480, 1280x720 or 1920x1080), 25 (for 720x576, 1280x720 or 1920x1080) or 24 (for 1280x720 or 1920x1080).
If your player doesn't play PAL then 720x576 and 25 frames per second will not play.
Because of such strict format requirements, most videos do require transcoding.
Note that video container (like m2ts or mkv) does not matter because PS3MS can convert container to Blu-ray container (m2ts) without having to transcode.
