Latest SVN build discussion

[otmanix]

Hello,

once again I compiled PMS available at svn for you. Before downloading please read all notes.

- latest PMS stable version is PMS 1.10.51, available here: http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/downloads/list?can=1
- latest PMS beta release (unstable, leading edge) is PMS 1.20.412, also available at: http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/downloads/list?can=1
- latest PMS svn version (unstable, bleeding edge) is PMS 1.21.0 r467, compile it yourself (read howtos at http://ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3507) or download it at my blog http://otmanix.de/english/2011/01/27/ps3-media-server-1-21-0-r467/

Wikipedia about:
leading edge

Leading edge is the part of an aerofoil or wing which leads in movement through the air and, as a metaphor, a noun or adjective referring to state-of-the-art developments in a field (also cutting edge in this context).

bleeding edge

Bleeding edge technology refers to technology that is so new that the user is required to risk unreliability, and possibly greater expense, in order to use it. The term bleeding edge is formed as an allusion to "leading edge" and its synonym cutting edge, but implying a greater degree of risk: the "bleeding edge" is in front of the "cutting edge". Recently however, the term has been increasingly used by the general public to mean "ahead of cutting edge" largely without the negative, risk-associated connotation concurrent with the term's use in more specific fields.

If you want to post a problem or maybe just some comments please post the PMS version being used.
If you want to try out latest svn versions please make sure to try out latest PMS beta before.
If you experience a certain problem when using the beta version report that "latest beta 1.20.412 causes problem xyz".
If you see a problem when using latest svn version report that "PMS svn 1.21.0 r476 causes new problem xyz. This didn't happen before on latest beta / PMS 1.20.412.".

PMS file locations on Win7:
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\PMS\pms.conf
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\PMS\web.conf
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\ps3mediaserver\debug.log

Have fun, Otmanix

ok if u get errors with the new version just delete c:\users\yourname\appdata\PMS\database folder then it will work fine again. for some reason it dont like the old db prev to version 467 and resetting your media library or trying to play a file throws out errors, i just scanned and works fine now and started playing files fine, no errors

whats this?
[New I/O server worker #1-1] TRACE 10:55:27.991 Media renderer was not recognized. HTTP User agent :FDSSDP

i think ill add that to the wmp.conf also heh.

Thanks for the feedback mazey
I think FDSSDP is a built in Windows thing. I might block its detection or something since I've seen that too

Portions of my WEB.CONF appear to be ignored by the latest build ( r467) . Here's a sample that works perfectly with 1.20.412 before installing r467 and then again after re-installing 1.20.412
I'm using Windows Vista and I tried r467 it with both my Bravia 5810 TV and XBMC on the PC

Code: Select all

Any ideas ?

This thread has been created to differentiate between discussing the latest beta release (the discussion for which is here) and the SVN builds that people make for themselves.
So if you built the program yourself from our SVN repository, or got one from someone else (any unofficial source), this thread is for discussing that
Please try to post in the appropriate thread and thanks for your enthusiasm for testing, you guys help us a lot

awesome anyone else experiencing this im using r490

[main] TRACE 08:50:18.456 Checking font cache... launching simple instance of MPlayer... You may have to wait 60 seconds!
[main] TRACE 08:50:39.165 Done!

20 or so second delay everytime pms starts, mplayer.exe appears to be doing something during the delay using cpu and mem etc.

btw this thread should be stickied too so it doesnt drop down too low.

mplayer is creating the font cache (usually on Windows, a directory named USERPROFILE_FONTCONFIG_CACHE is created in the PMS root folder). But it should be one shot

yes its being created and it does take longer the first time round about 45 seconds but its still doing it for 20 seconds each time it starts i tried deleting the appdata/local/temp/ps3mediaserver folder where the fontconfig cache is kept but i am still having delays, as soon as i put a older mplayer back it works without delay again even 735 is fine. im guessing 848 something funky is going on with my pc. relaunched again to check if the file being generated is being modified and it is not if that helps any.

[shagrath]

But is the folder USERPROFILE_FONTCONFIG_CACHE modified at each launch (or part of its contents) ?

nope nothing is being modified the time still shows an hour ago or so when i first installed r490
