Streaming to PS3, transcoding H265

Post by the_dw4rf »

I am very new to this, so keep that in mind...

I set up UMS last night, version 6.4.0., I am accessing it via my PS3. I have some .mkvs which have the video encoded using H265 - I was assuming UMS would transcode the H265 to a format that the PS3 can play, but none of the files appear in the folder when I browse to it on the PS3.

Am I misunderstanding how this process works, or did I assume some functionality that is not there?

Thanks for the help.

Turns out it works great if I set mencoder as my default instead of ffmpeg!

Hmm must be a bug with FFmpeg, can you post logs when playing with FFmpeg?
