Thanks Redlum for the subs fix.

Heyas, just downloaded and tried out the latest build, 1.25.1, updated from 1.20.409, and I am experiencing audio problems related to 6ch FLAC audio tracks in MKV files. In 1.20.409 FLAC audio is transcoded fine to DolbyDigital**. However, in 1.25.1, the dialogue (centre channel) is outputted to the left rear. All other channels are represented fine. I don't know if there is a fix, or if others have reported the same problem, I am simply reporting my findings.

**Regardless of the PS3MS version, some 6ch FLAC audio refuses to play (resulting in a corrupt file warning). Granted, I have only ever seen FLAC audio attached to Anime. Why do people encode into multi-channel in FLAC? IMHO FLAC is the bane of MKV files. Just because it works on SOME of the media players out there, doesn't make it a good option to encode to.

Hi I just test a bit the newly 1.25 macos x release on my Mac Pro early 2008 10 GB MacOs X 10.6.7 streaming on PS3 tru gigabit ethernet.

When I try video with external subtitles: I received a message from PS3 that data were corrupted. I try twice : restarting PMS and PS3: same issue.
When I try same videos a) without external subtitles or b) with the "no substitles" options turn ON in the video options those videos just play fine but of course without subs.

But other thinks go realy well with that newly release version, PMS now find my PS3 on my network almost immediatly, with the v1.20.409 it took systematicaly more than 9 minutes. Also, VDO in lower resolutions seems render better.

Thanks for the good job!

I face a similar problem, running 1.25.1 and streaming on WD TV Live, data corrupted with ASS/SSA subtitles selected and ok without it. It took me a while to find it out.

Keep up the great job!

New beta build. This one should work better with subtitles and ASS is now disabled by default to avoid confusion.

The BDP93.conf is wrong. Try this (it works for my 93):

Code: Select all

# ps3mediaserver renderer profile for Oppo BDP-93
# Refer to PS3.conf for help

RendererName=BDP - 93
RendererIcon=pch.png
UserAgentSearch=OPPO PLAYER
Video=true
Audio=true
Image=true
SeekByTime=false
TranscodeVideo=MPEGAC3
TranscodeAudio=pcm
DefaultVBVBufSize=true
MuxH264ToMpegTS=true
MuxDTSToMpeg=true
WrapDTSIntoPCM=false
MuxLPCMToMpeg=false
MaxVideoBitrateMbps=0
MaxVideoWidth=0
MaxVideoHeight=0
H264Level41Limited=false
TranscodeExtensions=iso,vob
StreamExtensions= gif,jpg,png,aac,flac,m4a,mp3,pcm,wav,wma,avi,mkv,mp4,m2ts,ts,wmv,ogg

I have committed new versions of mplayer and mencoder in r721. These versions should add support for external VOBsub.

If you are in an experimental mood, you can simply check them out from Google Code and replace your current binaries, e.g. with a Terminal:

Code: Select all

SRC=ps3mediaserver-read-only/ps3mediaserver/osx
DEST=/Applications/PS3\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/Java/osx
mv $DEST/mplayer $DEST/mplayer.bak
mv $DEST/mencoder $DEST/mencoder.bak
cp $SRC/mplayer $DEST
cp $SRC/mencoder $DEST

Let me know if they work as expected.

Anyone else seeing problems on HD Content shuddering when the video goes above 30 Mb/s? I noticed this a while back and set the Max Bandwidth to never go above 30 Mb/s, but it seems the latest version (r755) seems to be randomly getting around this limit.

Anyone else having this problem? The only way I seem to get this to fix is either by pausing the video for a few seconds or by stopping the video and restarting it.

I've read that... What I'm getting at was that something changed recently that is allowing the server to get around this enforced limit.
