.mkv hanging with less than 10 secs left on playback

[Gotzerocool]

Hey Now,
Every .mkv seems to be hanging with less than 10 seconds left in the show on my system but I'll use this one as an example. It only really bothers me when they are hd tv shows as I always miss the end whereas with movies it's just credits so not a big deal.

I have a PS3 and am streaming to it using:

I'm new at this so any help is most appreciated. I hope I have posted enough info.
Thanx in advance,

i'm having the exact same problem

Maybe.........restart PMS, try playing a file, then posting your debug.log

I'm wondering if enabling "sequential playback" might help????? If you don't have it enabled.

Can you skip to the next video file in the folder with your controller or Sony BD remote? Or does it hang, and PMS freezes?

Also, does it do it with MEncoder, or tsMuxer? Have you tried other #transcode# folder options?

This happens to me too. Sequential Playback is on. Its been happening for a while now when before the videos would advance.
