actually, audio/subtitles is not used for audio priority, but only for matching subtitles

[ExSport]

So now I understand why it is not working but in older versions it worked.
Thanks for explaination.....will it be sometimes supported?
But will try use audio+audio/subtitle combination if it will work same way as HAALI format

Hey Shagrath,

Tsmuxer and flac binaries are now available in the OSX build, this adds a lot of features on Mac which were previously only available on Windows or Linux (like DTS and remux support)

Where is the OSX build?

Thanks

[shagrath]

updated the post, but not with the up-to-date build...

[ExSport]

Shagrath please could you explain me how audio/subtitles language priority works?
Tried lot of combinations now and I maybe something missed...
My testing settings are:
Audio language priority: en,es,cs
Subtitle language priority: empty
Audio/Subtitle language priority: cs,off;en,cs;es,cs

With this settings no subtitle is shown. Video file have 2 audio tracks ES and CS and one subtitle track CS.
As you can see below, PMS will find correct subtitle but nothing is shown.
Also when I change Audio/Subtitle line to this one:
Audio/Subtitle language priority: cs,off;en,cs;es,fi;es,cs
debug log is exactly same as below but Found a match line is logged right after es,fi combination:

Code: Select all

[Thread-248] DEBUG 22:04:53.844 Search a match for: es with es and fi
[Thread-248] DEBUG 22:04:53.844  Found a match: fi
[Thread-248] DEBUG 22:04:53.844 Found subtitles track : Sub: Embedded / lang: cs / ID: 0 / FILE: -

There is no FI track
Here is a debug log for first settings

When I use separate Subtitle language priority line with e.g. en,fi,cs instead of combination audio/subtitle, then subtitles are visible
Many thanks for explaining how it works

[shagrath]

seems the matching subtitles step is buggy, will take a look

Here's some details regarding my particular setup and PMS not showing in the XMB immediately.

HARDWARE

• Intel Q6600 quad core, Gigabyte board with dual-NIC: Windows Home Server on NIC#2 IP 192.168.2.201 running no firewall running PMS/PlayOn/MediaConnect/SMB shares; Virtual Server 2005 running an XP client on NIC#1 IP 192.168.2.200
• PS3 on IP 192.168.2.19
• Variety of other computers (Vista Home Premium on 192.168.2.39, XP Pro SP3 on 192.168.2.100) and other ethernet/internet aware hardware on the LAN connected to the same physical Dell 16-port Gigabit switch. Switch is then connected to an ASUS router running DD-WRT, Vonage device connected directly to the ASUS router.

PMS TESTING

• Turned off PMS on WHS
• Deleted debug.log (to create fresh log for just this testing)
• Turned on pms 7:31:42
• Turned on ps3 7:35:40ish
• Logged into xmb on ps3 around 7:36:00ish
• Did NOT perform a manual search, just left the XMB on the Videos section and waited for PMS to appear on it's own
• PMS appears on XMB at 7:38:33

COMMENTS

I do see the following line almost immediately after the PS3 is started and my son logged onto the XMB. So why didn't this result in PMS appearing on the XMB at that time?

[Thread-8] DEBUG 07:36:00.468 Receiving a M-SEARCH from [192.168.2.19:54424]

There's a variety of other M-Search requests from the PS3, many unanswered.

Finally there's the following lines which correlate to when PMS finally appears in the XMB.

[Thread-4] TRACE 07:38:30.281 Receiving a request from: 192.168.2.19

<and more...>


My semi-educated review of the Debug.log seems to indicate PMS is receiving M-Search from my PS3. So there's no firewall or other network issue blocking M-Search. Again, PlayOn and MediaConnect both appear in the XMB instantly on the PS3 and both of those are running on the same physical hardware, some OS, same IP. I just can't get PMS to appear instantly.

I welcome your thoughts.

Thanks Shagrath

Just noticed theres another build. It seems to have fixed the database problem I had with 1.10.619.
BTW, I noticed attempting playing a HDCD Decoded FLAC 44.1/24 under video fails. It plays fine in music although in 16bit.

Hi, I have the same issue that since versions after v1.04, I have to wait up to 3 minutes before Media Server shows up in the XMB. The fact that v1.03/v1.03 shows this instantly is just proof that the media server made a deliberate change in the programming. I assume by delaying the (alive/broadcast) timer from every 10 seconds to 3 minutes is what has caused this delay.

I still don't understand why this change has been made, as I am not aware of any negative effects by putting the timer back to 10 seconds. Now there seems to be a fair amount of people that have to wait up to 3 minutes before Media Server is shown. great piece of kit otherwise!
