Saaaaaa-weeeeeet !!

Still testing but all seems good so far.

Seems good!

Still This old problem still exists

For those who has problems with FF/RW for streamed content they should try add this line in renderer.conf or wait for SubJunk new version with applied patch(If he will commit it):

Code: Select all

ChunkedTransfer = true

EDIT:
SubJunk, please can you update your code page? http://www.spirton.com/svn/PS3MS-SB/
I spotted that your last versions have desynced remuxing when FF/RW used and also when transcoding with "A/V sync alt. method" is disabled. When enabled MEncoder transcoding is synced again.
In my versions I used instead of "-mc 0 -noskip" only this one "-mc 0.005" which fixed sync problems because MEncoder counts with audio delay. Shagrath used "-mc 0 -noskip" for synced DVD images but for other files I don't like these commands
Maybe it is same problem with tsMuxeR engine when audio is extracted by MEncoder and muxed back with tsMuxeR so maybe adding -mc 0.005 when extracting audio can fix tsMuxeR issues.
I need to check my debug.log. It seems tsMuxeR counts which audio delay and audio is synced when file is played but when FF is used, it starts to be desynced.
Will try to make a test build from your latest SB53 but there is obsolete version on your code page....now I see maybe it is updated but not title only "PS3MS-SB - Revision 46:"
Many thanks

Nice. I just tried this. I will have to read the link, but just quickly adding this value to my PMS.conf allows me to FF and RW while muxing an MKV w/DTS to my PS3. I was able to safely achieve 30 X FF, and 30 X RW, with Prince of Persia going back and forth and had no sync issues.

Will read, and keep testing.

EDIT: Just tried 120 X FF/RW with the same movie (prince of persia). Remuxing w/ tsMuxer I had no sync issues.

Full transcoded Fast Five w/forced Eng. subs and DTS 'kept in stream'. Achieved 120 X FF/RW without sync issues, again going back and forth starting/stopping.

Val, this property have to be added to renderer.conf = ps3.conf, not pms.conf

[Val Killmore]

OK. HMM.

Then how is it working now ? Strange.

EDIT: checked my PS3 renderer conf and it is showing a value of 'false'

Still have it in my PS3.conf though as 'true'

SubJunk, I found why tsMuxeR remuxed files are out of sync with new versions.
It is quite weird but it seems problem is in your new and definitely better MEncoder.
I explicitly removed "timeshift=" parameter from tsMuxeR meta file and audio is synced now BUT...
Your MEncoder perhaps supports audio delay so when audio is extracted(maybe it is done by ffmpeg, I don't know), audio delay is also removed.
When movie is FF/RW or chapters are used not from beginning = position 0, audio is synced only when meta file doesn't include "timeshift" parameter.
When it is present, e.g. timeshift=959ms and also MEnocoder removed this delay, final file is out of sync logically.
And now comes BUT:
"timeshift" fixes audio delay when file is played from start=seek 0. So when timeshift is removed, audio is not synced when you start movie from start.
It is quite strange that there is another behavior for files played from zero and files from another position different from 0.
Without my patch audio is synced only when file is played from start but FF/RW/Chapters other than 0 will sync it out.
With my patch it is exactly opposite. It works after FF/RW/Chapters other than 0 but it is out of sync when file is played from start(position 0)
SubJunk, do you know what is happening there?
You can test it by editing "TSMuxerVideo.java" by commenting:

Code: Select all

//         if (params.aid != null && params.aid.delay != 0) {
//            timeshift = "timeshift=" + params.aid.delay + "ms, ";
//         }

and

Code: Select all

//            if (lang.delay != 0) {
//               timeshift = "timeshift=" + lang.delay + "ms, ";
//            }

Val, this property have to be added to renderer.conf = ps3.conf, not pms.conf

Both computers running SB-53:

I have tried on tower PC with 'true' in PMS.conf and 'false' in PS3 renderer .conf FF/RW works remux or trans

I have tried on laptop with no value in PMS.conf, and 'true' in PS3 renderer.conf. FF/RW works remux or trans.

It seems that magically my PS3 can now chunk stream regardless. Either way, and for whatever reason, this has now added a long desired feature to my PS3. FF'ing or RW'ing while remux/transcoding.

Now tested

Code: Select all

ChunkedTransfer = true

in PS3.conf renderer file and it works same way as

Code: Select all

ChunkedTransfer = false

Also reproduced same behavior like I described above also on PS3. So now to find why so strange behavior and we will have tsMuxeR fully working again with correct A/V sync.
