Stream issues - FFmpeg and MEncoder crash

[comar]

Everytime I try to stream some encoded video to my ps3 I'm getting the message that the archive is corrupted. And in my macbook appears that both ffmpeg and Mencoder stopped running for no reason. I'm using OSX 10.5.8 and the PMS 1.50.0.
Is there a solution for this?

Thanks.

PMS 1.50.0 for OSX ships with a broken FFmpeg that might cause your problems.
FFmpeg was rolled back to the 1.40.0 version in r1006.

You can try installing PMS 1.50.0, then download the latest version of FFmpeg (right mouse button on "view raw file", then Save Link As "ffmpeg").
Copy the saved file over the installed (broken) FFmpeg using a Terminal:

Code: Select all

cp ffmpeg /Applications/PS3\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/Java/osx

Thanks for your help, but two things.
I copied the ffmpeg file to that folder but I can't open it on the terminal. It's shown as an text file.

And when I open the MEncoder file on the same folder I get the message that it stopped running and this log file:

/Applications/PS3\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/Java/osx/mencoder ; exit;
dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
Trace/BPT trap

I think I made some progress but I still get the message that the file is corrupted when I try to stream. I think it is a problem with the MEncoder.
Here is the log file:

Sounds like the file is corrupt.
After you saved the file to your Downloads folder, you should be able to execute the following commands in a Terminal:

Code: Select all

cd ~/Downloads
chmod a+x ffmpeg
./ffmpeg

You should see something like this:

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

If this does not work, the file is corrupt.
