Web content will not stream

[lovswr]

chocolateboy, thanks for all your help. With your latest version of ps3mencoder, everything works. I am now streaming from the Apple-HD movie trailer site & just about everywhere else too. Again thank you!

Since downloading the latest .exe of ps3mencoder all files that require encoding including videos have stopped working. It appears to be a problem with the new .exe

When running ps3mencoder at the cmd prmpt it gives:

Code: Select all

The previous .exe that required the perl file worked, is it possible to make this one accessable again as I've deleted it while we try to identify the issue with this version.

Sure is.

You can get any old versions on GitHub by clicking "history" and selecting the appropriate "tree" link. To download the file, click "raw". There's also a "Download Source" link at the top of each page if you want to download a .zip file or tarball of the repository.

Interestingly the same is now occuring when I run the old version in cmd.

I've unistalled and reinstalled perl but no change. It was all working well before. Not sure whats happened, any ideas??????

Has anybody else come across the problem I am experiencing and more importantly how to solve it.

I have even tried installing URI.pm in the location that its is looking but even this fails to resolve the problem. I've uninstalled and re-installed Java, Ps3media and Perl with no results.

The error is occuring for both the .exe ps3mencoder versions.

Arrrrrgggghhhh it was working before!!!!!

Well Windows guys you are not alone. The lastest ps3mencoder for linux (from 9 Jan 2010) is not working either. I had to revert back to an older source also.

You said it was working for you last week. What error did you get?

Note: if PMS behaves unpredictably, the best bet is to restart PMS. ps3mencoder is just a simple wrapper around mencoder that fixes and optimizes the command line options supplied by PMS, and adds some special handling for YouTube videos. It shouldn't introduce behaviour that isn't already there with mencoder, and won't fix issues that are unrelated to mencoder web video streaming.

I haven't had a chance to run ps3mencoder.exe with Strawberry Perl completely uninstalled. But it runs fine for me if I rename the perl directory e.g. C:\strawberry.old, so it's not relying on perl or any Perl libraries. I'll have a go at running the .exe on a clean XP at some stage, but I doubt it'll make a difference.

Well, the software updater kept bugging me for several days & I finally let it upgrade to a new kernel. After that the ps3mencoder of Jan 9th kept returning the error that it did not recognize that file type whenever I tried to play .MOV files. When I went back to the previous version of ps3mencoder, everything was good again.

example:

when I run the following from a terminal with the Jan 9th ver of ps3mencoder

Code: Select all

ps3mencoder http://movies.apple.com/movies/wb/inception/inception-tlr2_h640w.mov -prefer-ipv4 -nocache -quiet -oac lavc -of lavf -lavfopts format=dvd -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=4096:threads=2:acodec=ac3:abitrate=128 -ofps 24000/1001 -o deleteme.mov


I get the following:

when I use the previous version of ps3mencoder, I get no errors & that file is encoded/created.
