I had troubles with sputtering playback on linux, both fedora and ubuntu (approx from version 1.20 onward). The videos would skip forward and backward, or it would appear jittery. I found the fix for this was to edit the PMS.sh file. At the end of the file there is this code:
I have 8 gigs of ram so allotting 2 gigs to the media server isn’t a biggie and I’m sure it’s total over kill. The main thing is changing the code specifying the minimum amount of ram from -Xss to -Xms. After that all problems solved except the rare mkv that won’t play(which I don’t care about at all) I hope this might help resolve some issues for the Linux users! 🙂
Main program seems ok: seek function is now working again on my panasonic G20. Still some problems with Movieinfo plugin.
Moreover noticed that Web movies (I’ve tried apple trailer resources) has no audio.
The “Restart HTTP Server” through PS3 has been fixed? :/ worked for me a longe time ago but now I got a
“Media Server Error: A network error has occurred. (00000000)”

I changed it to:
