the media server. The PS3 with the latest firmware (2.50 and later) now
plays a lot more media than before. It will stream ATSC streams (OTA HD)
w/ AC3 (5.1) audio, but the stream has to have PAT followed by PMT to see
the stream as valid. If it is PAT, PAT, PMT or PMT, PAT, the PS3 will
think the stream is corrupted. Also, if the stream starts out w/ 2 channel
AC3 audio, and later switches to 5.1, you will be stuck w/ 2 channel audio.
Support for WMV and Xvid in AVI seems to work well.

Finish support for playing DVD's.
Support custom icon like MediaTomb does.
Support a generic layer for transcoding, and supporting detection

calling tssel.py, we fixup the PAT to only contain the channel
we want. This does mean we send more data than we need, but
means that we can make the stream seekable.
Now works w/ PS3. The PS3 still has issues as it has limited
codec support (D-Link is better) and does not support AC3 audio
in MPEG-TS streams yet (not even downsampling to stereo PCM).
Now works w/ PS3. The PS3 as of 2.50 supports AC3 audio in

Add rar file support. This is optional, and if rarfile is not
installed, things will work, just not be able to look into rar
files.

Fix transcoding of MPEG-2, use mp2 audio instead of mp3.
Sync up the programs in mpegts.
Skip directories in ZipStorage for zip and rar archives.
Support both / and \ as path separators in ZipStorage. RarFile uses
a \ while tar uses /. We count the number of each and use the most
common.
For ShoutCast streams, override the User-Agent, apparently some/most
stations now block the default one.
