net-misc/ps3mediaserver-1.20.412-r1: Ignores reading pms.conf which makes the application useless if your user doesn't have proper access to / Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the official PMS ebuild (net-misc/ps3mediaserver-1.20.412-r1) 2. Set a unique configuration option in pms.conf 3. Run PS3MediaServer Actual Results: Doesn't read the configuration file. Expected Results: Read the configuration file, mount folders, watch media. Tried various Kernels, it's a no go. At the moment I'm running on 2.6.38-r1.

*what* pms.conf file exactly are you talking about ?
pms.conf is the file that is shipped by the vendor ( http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/source/browse/trunk/ps3mediaserver/PMS.conf ). There's also a sh to start the server that is missing from the ebuild as well ( http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/source/browse/trunk/ps3mediaserver/PMS.sh ). My pms.conf file looks like this: thumbnails = false folders = /Samba/Television mencoder_ass = true mencoder_mt = true hide_extensions = true usecache = yes hide_transcode_folder = true mencoder_yadif = false tsmuxer_mux_all_audiotracks = false network_interface = eth0
there is no missing shell script, nor did you answer my question (although i guess it could be interpreted differently). *where* is that pms.conf stored ?
Oh, sorry! pms.conf is stored with the base installation (/usr/share/ps3mediaserver/).
that is not where things go. use ~/.ps3mediaserver/. this is created automatically for you when you run `ps3mediaserver`.
Issue is still present with running 'ps3mediaserver'.

the message is always shown on purpose. it doesnt mean files are being overwritten there.
The Configuration File is still not executed/used when running the 'ps3mediaserver' command. Do you not have this issue?!
seems to be read fine for me: $ touch ~/.ps3mediaserver/PMS.conf $ strace -f -eopen -o log ps3mediaserver ... $ grep PMS.conf log 23468 open("/home/vapier/.ps3mediaserver/PMS.conf", O_RDONLY) = 7
Case Sensitivity at its worst. Sorry!
