Hi guys, please post your logs (using the instructions in my signature) to the following thread so we can fix it for you viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2090&start=90

Using the patch, should we see live stream speeds updating on the main tab? Ums wouldn't show up on our ps3 until I patched it, but I wasn't sure with this patch if the bitrate should be working or not.

Problem that I raised in 4.2.1 still exist. please refer to my comment in 4.2.1 to fix
thanks

Aspect ratio issues are back (as ive discussed previous and which were fixed previously) on Sony Bravia 40EX403 TV when using Mencoder, it is totally ignoring Sony-BraviaEX.conf and the
"CustomMencoderOptions = -vf softskip,scale=1283:720,expand=::::1:16/9:2 -lavcopts aspect=16/9" command line.

Image ends up squashed as previous discussed and shown via screw grabs in this thread...

Right, bad to reply to my own post but i think the aspect ratio issue may be related to aspect ratios not being cached/stored in the database properly as happened previously in a 3.6.x build, and was put right in 3.6.3 perhaps subjunk could check, basically this issue....

as per the response he made to me in the middle of that post. I believe that may not be happening in this new 4.2.2 version.

If each time i load 4.2.2 and "reset the cache" in the interface, then turn on my bravia TV content will display with the correct aspect (IE it obeys the mencoder options), if i then add a new file to a shared directory and attempt to play it without first resetting the cache it will do the squashed picture thing.

Ive for now solved it by just going back to version 4.2.0 although if more testing is needed and 4.2.2 is not due to aspect ratios not being cached/stored correct ill reinstall and start doing logs again. Im guessing though something is not being cached/stored right, a similar issue to what was fixed previously in 3.6.3.

BRAVO!!

I can once again see UMS displayed on my Xbox One via the Media Player app and can access my iTunes library and iTunes playlists from there and play all my songs without a problem.

THANK YOU!

Scrap all what i said its down to various small changes in the code and the SONYEX profile from 4.2.1 and onwards which has introduced various issues, hopefully someone will put the custom MEncoderoptions code in the profile back to how it should be from 4.2.0 and also add the other missing lines of...

MaxVideoWidth = 1920
MaxVideoHeight = 1080
H264Level41Limited = true

back into the SonyEX renderer. God only knows how H264Level41Limited = true got left out, which means all MP4 encoded stuff with a profile level higher than 4.1 takes an age to start playback, if it even playsback.

The CustomMencoderOptions change was contributed to us by a user who reported it fixed a bug where subtitles would overlap (link).

We made those 3 values the defaults, so removed them from all renderer configs since they are no longer needed.
