If you’ll see my post from earlier today, i’ve been playing around with coherence. Below is a PATCH for the 0.5.8 distribution to get DivX working. It’s pretty much the same as the tarball posted earlier.

Coherence - PS3

Recently i’ve been playing around with coherence. It’s pretty much an UPnP server that streams crap to your playstation3 or xbox 360. Problem is that even though the DivX/XviD format is supported in the newer firmwares, those files were displayed as ‘Unsupported Format’ in the PS3’s GameOS when being streamed over a default Coherence install. So, to remedy this i’ve taken the effort to research what caused the problem. You can do a diff if you want of these files, but everything is working fine for me (except for a lone MP3 file), but whatever.

Patched Coherence

Enjoy.
