Try quit & rerun. It seems to be random for me for all Java versions.

How can i disable transcoding on .m2ts file with my PS3... because i always need to go to the transcode folder en choose "no transcode" to be able to play .m2ts file.
I have added "m2ts" or ".m2ts" in the exclusion file type section but the same problem... it's try to transcode with FFMpeg and i got an HTTP 500 error.

try adding

Code: Select all

TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-MPEG2-AC3
To the Sony-Playstation3.conf file.

It may or may not work depending on the codec being used in the M2TS file, this may also screw up transcoding of other formats (normally sound sync issues).

I'm seeing the same audio sync issues with 501 I saw with 5.0.0. I don't see it with previous versions, but do with the new versions. Its not on everything, only specific videos, and they are new or fairly recent tv show posts.

I posted a log in a support post in the support forum.

Will this release finally play audio tracks in the right order rather than alphabetical order?

Hi,

I upgraded to 5.0 and then 5.0.1 but I have serious performances issues.

I have a Ps3 connected via lan to Core 2 duo 8400, overclocked to 3.6Ghz with 4Gb Ram.

With 4.4.0 version when I transcode 1080p videos the processor is almost at peak but it works, when I use the newer versions I am always over 100% and movies are unwatchable.

Without changing anything but simply removing 5.0.1 and re-installing 4.4.0 it works like a charm.

Behavior is the same using both FFMpeg and Mencoder, I need them because I see movies with sub.

Was that expected? Anything I can do to improve a little bit? It might be that code is not optimized for my processor? Something similar happened in the past but then was solved

Thanks!

Check your renderer.conf files and TranscodeVideo=xxx part. In past UMS transcoded to MPEG2.
Newer versions started to use h264 which is much slower but with much less data stream.
It seems your CPU is not powerful enough to realtime transcode h.264 but it was ok with MPEG2.
Change it back, it should fix it if it is problem described above.
