Some MKV's don't stream with 1.03 (resolved)

[shagrath]

may I ask what version is your ps3 firmware ?

[PS4]

version 2.42

[shagrath]

version 2.42

if this was a commercial application, support would not even have tried to help until you switch to 2.53 you know ?
but I'm a nice guy so will try to do something (and something is bothering me in your traces, but I don't know if it' a coincidence or not)
can you re post another trace with a failed multicore launch please ?

Hallo Shagrath,

I had exactly the same problem as PS4.....now enabling the "force framerate from FFMeg" resolved my problem. So what it is exactly I donot know, but I hope you will leave this option possibility unchanged.
BTW I am using 2.60.

I am experiancing the same problem. I will try to disable multicore, however the force framerate option was already checked.

BTW: Shagrath this tool is the best media server for the PS3 ever. I combination with sabnzbd i don't have to do anything manually....

As it seems this problem exists in mkv's with DTS audio. Try forcing 2CH output, this worked for me.

I had to uninstall the PS3 Media Server and remove the config file. After reinstalling and setting the fps from ffmpeg flag it worked.

[PS4]

Success at last!

Working with Shagrath, we discovered the combination that worked. For those having to resort to force framerate or 2 channel for mkv, run 1.03 with a/v sync and multi-core option. use 6 channel sound, and uncheck force framerate. I used to have problems with a/v sync before 1.03, but it's fixed in 1.03.

Now I'm using both cores and streaming 1080p perfectly (with spare cpu to fill up buffer while streaming on an E8400)

Thanks Shagrath!
