Compiling PS3 Media Server on OSX

[d34dh0r53]

Probably asked and answered, but my groking has failed to turn up anything. Have the xcode4 issues been resolved with this script or is it necessary to build with 3.2.x? I'm getting a strange memmove error and I have a feeling it's due to the xcode4 headers. Also, has anyone thought of using MacPorts libraries for the static stuff that is fairly stable and compiling the tools linking against those?

thx

I have not read any positive news on Xcode4 plus this script yet. All working compiles have been on 3.2.x as far as I know.
Using MacPorts to provide the required binaries would probably work just fine. Compiling everything yourself does provide maximum flexibility in what you want or do not want in the resulting binaries though.

On a side note:

The script is only meant for people that want to fiddle around with custom binaries.

SVN now contains up to date OSX binaries, which means you can skip the whole script business and build the newest PMS from SVN.
Just read the OSX_README.txt on how to build PMS.

Hi,

I run PMS on OSX snow leopard, the renderer is a pioneer Kuro KRP500AW

Whan i use a homemade (svn, configure, make) 64 bit mencoderi get the following PMS error:
[osx/mencoder] INFO 22:56:05.613 Process /Applications/PS3 Media Server.app/Contents/Resources/Java/osx/mencoder has a return code of 1! Maybe an error occurred... check the log file

this is the version of mencoder:
MEncoder SVN-r34106-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team

In older version of PMS i did not had this problem. I need the 64 bit version because I have better streamng results with the 64 bit version of mencoder.

BTW when I run the ps3mediaserver-read-only/ps3mediaserver/osx/contrib/build-pms-osx.sh script with the default settings (I386) a 32 versions is made, when I change I386 in x86_64 I get errors at the fontconfig part of the script and the script is aborted.

Please some hints or suggestions.

Regards

Hmmm... Is there any useful information about the mencoder crash in the debug.log?
Which version of PMS are you running?

Oh, I should check that then. Has been a while since I tested that, thanks for the report!

Hi Raptor,

This is what is in the debug.log:

Meh, that's not a lot...
I see one strange thing in that mencoder commandline in the log:

Code: Select all

/Applications/PS3 Media Server.app/Contents/Resources/Java/osx/mencoder -ss 0 -quiet /Volumes/WD3Thuiskamer/Films/007dieanotherday1080/fsi-007dad1080.mkv -quiet -quiet -oac lavc -of mpeg -quiet -quiet -mpegopts format=mpeg2:muxrate=500000:vbuf_size=1194:abuf_size=64 -ovc lavc -channels 2 -lavdopts debug=0:threads=2 -lavcopts autoaspect=1:vcodec=mpeg2video:acodec=ac3:abitrate=256:threads=2:keyint=5:vqscale=2:vqmin=3:vrc_maxrate=60000:vrc_buf_size=1835 -subcp ISO-8859-1 -subfont /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/lib/fonts/LucidaSansRegular.ttf -subfont-text-scale 3 -subfont-outline 1 -subfont-blur 1 -subpos 98 -quiet -quiet -sid 100 -fps 24000/1001 -ofps 24000/1001 -sub /Volumes/WD3Thuiskamer/Films/007dieanotherday1080/fsi-007dad1080.srt -af lavcresample=48000 -srate 48000 -o - -really-quiet -msglevel statusline=2

Just before the "-really-quiet" (how's that for an option name btw? ) there seems to be a lone "-".
I think that's highly suspicious! Command line options usually avoid being merely dashes, and this particular one is after the "-o" option which should indicate the output file for mencoder. "-" is a highly dubious output file name; there should be a string there.

You could try and run that command line in a Terminal and see what happens. Remove all "-quiet" and "-really-quiet" options and see what happens. Then try replacing the "-" with "somefilename" and see what happens.

[Raptor399]

Hmmm, the lone "-" isn't the problem. It is also present for working files and "mencoder -o -" means something like "pipe the output", which is exactly what we want.
