Strange issue with H264TSAC3. 3.0.0-a5/6 and probably others

A few weeks ago and after a long time of not using UMS I installed (clean install) 3.0.0-a5 and a few days ago I used the UMSbuilder to get 3.0.0-a6. I'm using wifi and I need subs so transcoding to H264 is really a blessing for me since it really gets much better quality for wifi bandwidth. After p...

Re: Mencoder vs. ffmpeg

but in all tests I did with H.264 encoding and a PS3, seeking/jumping to a specific time fails with mencoder but works with ffmpeg.
At least when using H.264 it seems to me that ffmpeg does a better job.

Re: Mencoder vs. ffmpeg

now that ffmpeg works with external subs and has styled subs, if I don't need internal subs, is there any reason not to make ffmpeg the default engine?

3.0.0-a6 H264TSAC3 can't seek

I changed the PS3 rendered to H264TSAC3 and everything was beautiful, except seeking (and some file that don't play well, but that's another topic). UPDATE: This happens with Mencoder. If I use FFMPEG seeking works. With MPEGPSAC3 it works: DEBUG 2013-10-02 20:48:08.147 [New I/O worker #5] Requestin...

Re: 3.0.0-a5: Option lavcopts: Unknown suboption crf

Comparing the command line generated for H.264 on 2.6.5 vs the one on 3.0.0-a5 I found this: 2.6.5 (works) -lavcopts autoaspect=1:vcodec=libx264:acodec=ac3:abitrate=640:threads=4:o=preset=superfast, crf=20 ,g=250,i_qfactor=0.71,qcomp=0.6,level=4.1,weightp=0,8x8dct=0,aq-strength=0: keyint=25:vqmax=5:...

3.0.0-a5: Option lavcopts: Unknown suboption crf

I was playing around with h.264 transcoding and bandwidth settings to see how it handle low bandwidth and I got this error INFO 2013-09-12 20:21:40.829 [New I/O worker #2] Starting transcode/remux of test.mkv DEBUG 2013-09-12 20:21:40.832 [New I/O worker #2] Launching transcode with media info: cont...

Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem

This is weird... Now that part works. I swear I didn't change anything. The only issue now is that DTS audio is somehow not working with my external receiver but that could be something wrong with my setup. Anyway, the last test I just did had this "pms-tsmuxer.meta": MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-vi...

Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem

Allright, test done. First I uninstalled the old version and deleted the install directory. Then I installed 3.0.0-a5 and selected the "clean install" checkbox. Tested and got the same result. Playback failed and three "mencoder.exe" were left running (one of them consuming high ...

Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem

I've reported the same issue here: http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=766 But then I used the same workaround: hdmi cable from laptop to TV. Yesterday I had the need to use UMS again so I installed 2.6.5 (complete reinstall after wiping the directory and also checking ...
