Panasonic ffwd rwd

Post by toontoon »

Thanks Subjunk for your release of UMS.
One problem remains which I have never been able to resolve. Rendering to a Viera Plasma G20 when streaming avi, ts or mpeg files ffwd & rwd is either unresponsive or crashes mencoder and java leaving a huge memory leak.

This has been present on PMS for yonks and the last working version I have is Sharkhunter PMS Build SHB24 using PMS 1.40.0.

Any clues / ideas what needs to be done?

Hi toontoon, maybe SharkHunter can help since his build is the one that worked. I'll let him know about this thread :)

Hi,

Somewhere after SHB27 (I think) PMS rewrote the whoule buffering scheme. I then found out that my BRAVIA wasn't found of how bffers growed etc. In UMS there is a conf option called "buffer_max" set this to true to make UMS grow the buffer to it's max size at start of transcoding. Otherwise upload some logs..
Prefably a SHB24 log set and then a UMS log set

Thanks Sharkhunter. Will do so you can see the differences.
Just thinking about this (because it is driving me :evil: ) is UMS transcoding where PMS was not. For example any avi file on later SHB builds and now UMS begins after a "please wait" message (Viera message) whereas on the old SHB24 build a percentage bar appears and the file plays once 100% reached.

Will also play about with the buffer setting and report back.

Hi Sharkhunter,
On UMS I set buffer_max = true which when failed (see attached debug.log). It actually crashed mencoder and UMS once trying to ffwd through the stream.

Will send a debug.log of the same file successfully seeking ffwd next post.

Here is another example of UMS debug.log when trying to seek ffwd during an avi. This is without buffer_max set but with force framerate parsed from FFmpeg set to true.

Still failed and crashed.

For whatever reason I can't set the debug level correctly - therefore pointless uploading a debug.log which doesn't shed any light on why this works in earlier versions.

How can I get the same level of debug in the working SHB build?

Find this section (in the logback.xml)

Code: Select all

<appender name="debug.log" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
and add (if missing)

Code: Select all

<filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter">
			<level>ALL</level>
		</filter>
To make sure uppdate the

Code: Select all

<root level="ALL">
also.

This should be the same on UMS/PMS/PMS_SHB

Hi Sharkhunter,
logback.xml attached as it appears to be setup correctly.

Hello,

Finally been able to post a debug.log with correct ffwd and rwd on an avi file as discussed.

Any ideas how this can get fixed in the later versions.
