You have forgotten to set the logging level to TRACE before producing your log so sadly this one is not very useful...

Edit:
As a side note, many of your AVI, MP4 and JPEG files seem broken. Not sure if that come from incomplete torrent downloads or HDD corruption.

Edit:
Also if i cannot really see more deeply from your log, it seem related to the recent request handler refactoring that is still a work in progress.

Hum...i don't see anything wrong related to subtitles, only some old bugs.
It seem that you only get that issue while streaming (not transcoding), so do that mean that transcoding work correctly for you?

Are you saying that you only get issue when playing media with subtitles only?
Whatever UMS version is used, you get that same issue?
Do only some formats have that issue or only AVI?
Do you get that same issue when playing your media from the #--TRANSCODE--# folder?

It wont play at all, when I go to watch any of the content on the roku most of it errors out and doesn't even start to play at all, I don't know where the subtitles thing come from all the of the TV shows don't even play.

Are you saying that you only get issue when playing media with subtitles only?
- I dont know where this issue with subtitles came up but most file wont play and produce this error. What I have encountered is the TV shows wont play in whatever format they are encoded in, .mkv or .avi etc. Other files like actual movies play fine so I don't get it

Whatever UMS version is used, you get that same issue?
- I'm using the latest 7.6 I believe.

Do only some formats have that issue or only AVI?
- Its only TV shows that I notice the issue, they can be several file formats .avi or .mkv

Do you get that same issue when playing your media from the #--TRANSCODE--# folder?
- Tried that but same result only an error.

I can see that AVI have probably never worked correctly, but i'm not sure if Roku has ever been really supported or that a recent additional bug have broken the support.

Could you try with an older UMS version? 6.7.4 should be a good start IMO.

In my experience the roku plays the avi movies fine, its just something with the TV shows that it doesn't like there have been a couple things I have watched that were .avi files.

I was just saying that the actual UMS FFmpeg command line will fail as it do now for you, as your log clearly show.

There is a bug in the Roku-TV8.conf. At line

Code: Select all

Supported = f:mpegts    v:h264                                      a:aac-lc-lc|lpcm|mp2|mp3                m:video/mpeg         n:2
there is aac-lc-lc but must be only aac-lc. The line must be

Code: Select all

Supported = f:mpegts    v:h264                                      a:aac-lc|lpcm|mp2|mp3                m:video/mpeg         n:2
Fix it and do new test.
