CentOS 6 PS3 MS 1.53 and MKV No Subtitles?

[chocolateboy]

Ok, I had PS3 MS 1.50.1 pretty much working as needed on CentOS 6, but my hardware was under powered, so with the release of 1.53, I decided to improve the hardware. That done, I installed CentOS 6, installed PS3 MS 1.53, it works... for AVI files, I get subtitles, but for MKV files, nada. GNOME MPlayer works plays the MKV files fine with subtitles. All I see in the is the following, see below, but I am not sure how to interpet the information.

Code: Select all

DEBUG 2012-06-15 18:44:38.702 [Thread-59] New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong.
DEBUG 2012-06-15 18:44:38.703 [Thread-59] Please supply the text font file (~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf).

DEBUG 2012-06-15 18:44:38.706 [Thread-59] subtitle font: load_sub_face failed.


At first I thought this was just the query for if I had set a subtitle true type font. But not sure. Since MPlayer plays the MKV file with subtitles fine? I don't see why PS3 MS would not find the default font as well? I don't recall having this issue with 1.50.1. Any help greatly appreciated.

One other quirk, if I click on the debug.log button in the PS3 MS GUI, I get a java.io.exception, that seems odd as well! The debug.log file is of course their at the specific path, so not sure why the exception is thrown.

Your problems are caused by outdated mencoder build. Look here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12387&start=80#p70332 for instructions how to extract precompiled binaries from my ubuntu package and here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14556#p70277 how to configure PS3MS to use them.

You also need libmediainfo installed for PS3MS to function properly. You can grab it here http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/ru/Download/CentOS
