I cannot install the PS3 Media Server onto Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I try to run the recommended commands I get the following error message.
"The following packages have unmet dependencies: ps3mediaserver : Depends : ps3mediaserver-multiarch but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
The commands I used are:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:happy-neko/ps3mediaserver
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ps3mediaserver
I do not know what the "ps3mediaserver-multiarch" part is about at all. I have searched high and low but no one seems to really know. I have even posted on other Ubuntu support sites. No one seems to know on the other sites. Does anyone have any ideas on a way to get PS3 Media Server installed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? O_o Any feed back is much appreciated.
Just a heads up, I have installed mencoder, ffmpeg and other transcoding tools like VLC, ect. This did not assist in solving the issue.
I have tried user278794's solution from another thread but that does not work either.
Their commands were as follows.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
paste this
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/happy-neko/ps3mediaserver/ubuntu raring main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/happy-neko/ps3mediaserver/ubuntu raring main
exit.
sudo apt-get install ps3mediaserver
The first sudo command goes right. But when I try to paste the next lines into the editing window it will not save them. When I try to save/exit it gives off this message.
"Could not find the file "/etc/apt/sources.list". Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again."
Am I doing something wrong with those commands?
I am rather new to Linux Ubuntu so I am not sure. As the software package is not available in the software center this is rather frustrating. Again, any feedback is much appreciated.
