Suriname in February

February is a good time to visit Suriname. to be precise it's off season and the airline tickets are manageable. I visited the last week of feb. and the weather was starting to move from less rain to more and more rain (Still sunny day's and hot though).

After the rain some streets may look like this (-:

Next day catch a sunny beach at Babunhol River Resort (Surinam river)

Panasonic TX-P42G20 and ps3mediaserver

I got my self a Panasonic plasma TX-P42G20E and i must say i'm impressed by the image quality of this thing. if your into details then go here.

Additionally the set works great with my ps3 , but i must say the most fun was
using an application called ps3Mediaserver .


After using the stable release (1.10.51) for some time i now moved to the
Beta release(1.20.409-BETA) which has some added advantage like plug-ins.

Since this is opensource one of the things missing was a good DLNA config for my TX-P42G20. I created my own called "Panasonic viera.conf" this you put in the
"C:\Program Files\PS3 Media Server\renderers"



here is the contents of Panasonic viera.conf:

# Panasonic Viera profile, copied from renderer profile for WDTV Live
# Refer to PS3.conf for help
# r1, added user agentsearch,using kuro picture
