Why PMS show "... no inputstream to return for [MEncoder]"?

[mwgong]

I just installed PMS 1.50 on ubuntu server 11.10, and installed related packages.

When I tried to stream a MPEG4 file to a SONY TV, PMS didn't work. And following is shown in the log file
...
[New I/O server worker #1-2] ERROR 19:42:59.366 There is no inputstream to return for CCTV.2012.Spring.Festival.Celebration.Party-01_mpeg4.avi [MEncoder]
...

What does the message really mean ? Did I miss anything or was my config file wrong ?

Please advise.

Thanks.

The deb requires openjdk-6-jre to be installed, but I already installed Sun Java on my server.

Is there a quick way to fix the inputstream error under the Sun Java ?

I installed 1.50.0 on Windows 7, and used all the default settings. Interestingly, the same file is played fine on the same TV.

So it seems the PMS on Windows is better than the PMS on Linux.

Can anyone advise how to do trouble shooting for the "no inputstream to return" issue ?

Thanks.

The deb requires openjdk-6-jre to be installed, but I already installed Sun Java on my server.

It should run under sun-jre.
openjdk-6-jre is required because recent Ubuntu releases drop sun-jre from repositories.
