A few issues I've noticed with the Playstation 3 app:
Anamorphic DVD rips are not stretched to 16:9 Problem does not exists playing same file in Plex Home Theater.
5.1 audio channel mapping is wrong. Center channel is playing out of Front Right speaker.
AC3 mono, no audio at all.
Setup:
Playstation 3
HDMI to
Yamaha RXV2065
HDMI to
Sony 1080p 40" LCD TV
Files are on a PC as uncompressed MakeMKV rips.
Files will play properly in Plex Home Theater.
I can confirm the wrong channel mapping on 5.1 sound. I was so happy to discover today there was finally a ps3 app so I paid for premium just to get it. I just sat down to watch a movie and said to my girlfriend., "Is it my imagination or is all the dialogue coming from the front right speaker?". I then tried playing the same movie using Plex with the ps3 the old way (through the video media servers section) and the same movie played just fine with the correct channel mapping. I really hope this issue is addressed soon.
I can also confirm the wrong channel mapping for 5.1 audio when using the PLEX app for the PS3.
The app sends all center channel sound, i.e. dialog, to the front right speaker.
All games and all other PS3 apps properly output 5.1 to the correct speakers.
As a workaround, I am streaming content by selecting the PLEX server from the PS3 Video menu.
