Some build 1.20.400 bugs

[NachoLover]

Here are some repeatable playback issues when streaming to my PS3. All the m2ts files are directly ripped from blurays in my collection using anydvd.

Speed Racer.m2ts - VC-1/AC3 audio sync issues within 4 minutes.
Monster vs Aliens.m2ts - VC-1/TRUE-HD audio sync issues appear immediately, also abnormal bursts of sound.
Star Trek.m2ts H.264/TRUE-HD complete audio drop out after about 40 seconds.
Valkyrie.m2ts H.264/DTS-HD no audio at all.

File format related issues:

Ripped DVD's converted using handbrake into .m4v (H.264/AAC stereo/AC-3) with AppleTV present show the following behaviors:

No thumbnails rendered.
PS3MS always chooses the AAC stereo track instead of the AC-3 track.

no sound with DTS-HD is a known issue (it's working with the latest mencoder builds and few tweaks in the code). VC-1 and TrueHD are not very well supported right now but it's in the work list :p

Whenever i enable subs with "Autoload srt/sub subtitles with the same filename" the movie skips chapters every 5-10 secs. When off everything is fine.

tested r401 and:
- if file is wrongly parsed, it is hidden and stored in database.
This behavior can happen when file is copied from other disk to new directory so file is not complete or when file is somehow locked or badly muxed so it is remuxed manually with e.g. Avi-Mux_GUI application.
Problem is that file is now OK but for PMS it is always hidden. It is possible not to store badly parsed files to database so next time PMS can scan it again and now parsing should pass?
- .m3u files problem

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:275,01 - Umbrella f, Jay Z
01_-_Umbrella_f,_Jay_Z.wav
#EXTINF:195,02 - Push Up On Me
02_-_Push_Up_On_Me.wav
...

In this case files are displayed on PS3 as:

Code: Select all

275,01 - Umbrella f, Jay Z
195,02 - Push Up On Me

- DTS files can't be played. In older versions DTS audio played OK
- files badly parsed are hidden but sometimes can be played so it is possible to Eable/Disable hiding in settings?
- I have a .cue file as below. Problem = always first song is played only. Also when 3rd song is choosen

Code: Select all

PERFORMER "Hungar"
TITLE "Greatest Hits (DTS 5.1)"
FILE "Hungar-2.wav" BINARY
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    PERFORMER "Hungar"
    TITLE "Magic Love"
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    PERFORMER "Hungar"
    TITLE "Missing You"
    INDEX 01 04:28:54
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    PERFORMER "Hungar"
    TITLE "Ho Ho Loco"
    INDEX 01 08:30:59
  TRACK 04 AUDIO
    PERFORMER "Hungar"
    TITLE "Last One"
    INDEX 01 14:14:19
....

EDIT:
- ehm, it seems no audio is working in latest version for me. I tried some of my MP3...all with network error displayed

Same bug to me

Shagrath, I will test r404 for DTS fix but what about the idea of not parsed files that result will not be stored in database and maybe also possibility to enable/disable displaying them in PMS settings
Thx

Just wanted to add a few snaffu's i've gotten with the 1.20.400 version...

I have not been able to successfully get the "restart the http server" in the Video Settings folder to work...it says "data is corrupted" message and then let's me know that the media server has been disconnected...then that's it.

When I was watching Axxo's The Hurt Locker, it would skip a couple minutes advanced every 7-10 minutes. This happened when I was transcoding the video file using the Avisynth/MEncoder engine, with external subtitle file running with the video, and "definetely disable subtitles" checked...
:EDIT: after looking through the thread, I also wanted to mention I did have "Autoload srt/sub subtitles with same filename" checked as well...

But the beta version did resolve my issue of "Transcode buffer maximum size" never saving a modification/changing from 400.0.
P.S. Also wanted to add/note that the automatic transcoding/detecting worked well as well.

All of these I have confirmed works/doesn't happen when I load the stable version 1.10.51 (i believe is the version #, going off memory).

Shagrath, come on
I am waiting for your opinion if you count with it or not

if the file is not valid, I'm sure it's not stored in the database, so the file will be parsed each time the server is restarted ?
