Command logs

Hi,

is there a way to see how are mencoder and tsmuxer called by PMS? Something like a full debug log.

Thanks

Recent versions of PMS log the exact command line to the debug.log.
Just copy the line from that file.

Thanks. I've found it.

Do you known if the mencoder package shipped with recent linux distribution is compiled with some sub-titles related option? I'm compiling the latest mencoder (and ffmpeg) from source on by NAS (a netgear readynas), but I cannot get subtitles with either PMS or Mediatomb (which is another DLNA server). So I conclude that the problem must be mencoder.

Any hints?

As far as I know the regular PMS Linux build does not ship with its own compiled binaries.
However, you could try happy.neko's package.

Yes I know, my problem is the following:

PC: PMS 1.50 + mencoder (the one coming with fedora 16) -> works fine with hardcoded subtitles on my PS3

ReadyNAS: PMS 1.50 + mencoder (compiled from the latest svn) -> video and audio work fine but subtitles are not embedded, also it seems that the version that I'm compiling from source does not support the options -subfont-autoscale and -subfont-text-scale (I had to remove these options from the code in order to continue). I double checked in the debug.log the mencoder what actually called without these two options.

Same result if I replace PMS with mediatomb on the ReadyNAS. Tested with the same avi video and the same srt subtitle.
