There are few new tweaks to webMAN - you can redownload and test it:http://www.deanbg.com/webftp_server.sprx

• Refresh XML - refreshes mygames.xml for "My Games" XMB entry (/refresh.ps3)
• Refresh HTML - refreshes games.html - the [Games] list for browser mode (/index.ps3?html)
• The game list for browser mode is cached and won't cause scan each time you open the page.
• There should be no duplicates for network games (unless you have more than one copy)
• This version should support larger games collections
• Fixed issues with last-game and slow usb drives when startup content scan is disabled

The game list (for browser mode) is cached as /dev_hdd0/tmp/wmtmp/games.htmland is refreshed only if you press [Refresh HTML] or if more than 12 hours have passed since the last refresh.

NOTE: I don't know if I mentioned it before, but... DO NOT use [Refresh XML] / [Refresh HTML] while playing games. These functions require memory and for the short time they operate the game may run out of memory and crash. Use these ONLY while in XMB.

SOURCE: http://www.deanbg.com/webMAN_1.19.zip

I don't think I ever posted webMAN's source before, so here it is... Not very clean and tidy, but...

I think the application is now mature enough (for just a month of development) and folks can use it as a base for something... I do hope tho, that we won't see 'name'-clones like "venixMAN", "johny13's supercool XMB"-plugin... I know people LOVE putting their names on everything, but I hope this time it won't happen http://*************/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

Weird enough for the last two months we didn't see any plugins of any kind... I wonder why...
Update #1

A small update to webMAN 1.19:http://www.deanbg.com/webftp_server.sprx

• Improved memory usage in FTP service - now memory will be allocated only when you transfer files
• Fixed small issue with memory allocation when copying ICON0.PNG from mounted PS3 ISO games
• Added additional checks for available memory, preventing game/video playback crashes if user uses [Refresh XML] or [Refresh HTML] while in-game
• New option in [Setup]: Plugin memory usage: Standard (1024KB), Min (320KB), Max (1408KB)

The standard one uses 1MB of memory (as it always did) when doing the initial scan and generating the [Games] list for browser mode.
The minimal one uses just 320KB (over 3 times less) and if you don't have more than 300 games it should be the better option.

Using the "minimal" mode I get about 2400KB free memory reported in /cpursx.ps3 page, compared to 1500-1800KB when using the standard one.

Those of you who had issues with net games, can you try the new Minoption and see how it goes?
