RMVB support on Mac

Postby puppying » Wed Nov 09, 2011 8:07 am

Hi guys...
.rmvb files have been getting "Data corrupted" error on PS3 since PMS 1.10, and this issue only happens on Mac platform
I think I figured out why...
In MEncoderVideo.java, there is a boolean called "directpipe", and starting from revision 281 (PMS 1.09), it's value changed from "false" to "Platform.isMac()"
This created a special handling on Mac platform and broke the support for .rmvb files.

In revision 841 (PMS 1.40.1), this line becomes
Code: Select all
boolean directpipe = (Platform.isMac() || Platform.isFreeBSD());


Since I don't know the purpose of this special handing for Mac and FreeBSD, I decided to only allow .rm and .rmvb files to skip the route.
Anyway, I changed it to:
Code: Select all
boolean directpipe = (Platform.isMac() || Platform.isFreeBSD()) && !(media.container.equals("rm") || media.container.equals("rmvb"));

It seems to be working fine on my box. If any one wants to test it, I uploaded the .dmg file here:

Is there an updated .dmg with this fix ?

Thanks,

MencoderVideo.java is part of the PMS source code.
If you intend to change the source code, you will also have to build PMS.

On a side note, the proposed fix may work, but to me it seems a bit odd to have to put media container checks in that code.

I'm not sure what the code introduced in a305ca720c tries to achieve by emptying the params.input_pipes for OSX and FreeBSD:

Code: Select all
         boolean directpipe = Platform.isMac() || Platform.isFreeBSD();
         if (directpipe) {
            cmdArray = Arrays.copyOf(cmdArray, cmdArray.length + 3);
            cmdArray[cmdArray.length - 3] = "-really-quiet";
            cmdArray[cmdArray.length - 2] = "-msglevel";
            cmdArray[cmdArray.length - 1] = "statusline=2";
            cmdArray[cmdArray.length - 4] = "-";
            params.input_pipes = new PipeProcess[2];
         } else {
            pipe = new PipeProcess("mencoder" + System.currentTimeMillis(), (pcm || dts || mux) ? null : params);
            params.input_pipes[0] = pipe;
            cmdArray[cmdArray.length - 1] = pipe.getInputPipe();
         }

The name suggests that this will cause the use of a direct pipe instead of using an intermediate pipe process. What I don't see is how using or not using an intermediate pipe process would break or fix a data corrupted issue. The two should be entirely equivalent. The suggested fix would mean they are not... :-|

The issue needs more investigation.

Hi Raptor,

Here are some additional information.
1- iMac 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory, MAC OS X version 10.7.2 - PMS version 1.50.1
2- I'm streaming to PS3 using default settings.
3- LAN setup: iMac > 100 mbps linksys switch > PS3
4- I believe i'm using MEncoder.
5- When trying to play any *.rmvb files, I'll get the error "The Data Is Corrupted". The files play fine on my iMac.
6- Debug output provided below.
7- Here's MediaInfo text output on one of the rmvb file.
