Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=861 I'm having the same issue. Downgrading makes no difference. I doubt that it's UMS. It should be something else.
My feeling goes to latest PS3 update.

Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem
I also think that this is somehow related to the latest PS3 update (4.41).Problems started after updating, but i can not be 100% certain cause i haven't been streaming for some time before 4.41.Quaternion wrote:viewtopic.php?f=9&t=861 I'm having the same issue.

It is most certainly related to MEncoder and external subs.
I would like someone using 4.41 to confirm that external subs are working properly in order to rule this suspicion out.
Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem
I also read somewhere online trying to resolve this issue that Sony added content protection to it's PS3 OS, and that from 3.55 it was in place. Perhaps they have added protection for mkv's?? I hope not, but it sounds plausible. If anyone could test with 3.55 or earlier perhaps...?
Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem
Hi,
I am having the same problem described by Taxman.
I am also running Windows 7 - 64bit. PS3 firmware 4.41.
This problem started with me while using PS3 Media Server.
I tried moving to UMS, however it did not work also.
I tried also with UMS 2.6.4 using both java 7u17 and after java 7u21.
I tried also with UMS 3.0.0-a1 and java 7u21.
I tried also resetting Internet Explorer ( like described on http://www.playonplugins.com/index.php?topic=6460.0 by user Shanghai)
Unfortunately nothing worked.
If you need me to post logs please ask.

Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem
I'm having the same problem on Windows 7 64 bit and a PS3 on firmware 4.41. I've tried different versions of UMS including 3.0 and PS3 Media Server with the same results. If the file has external subtitles I run into error 800288E1.
However, I have another laptop on the same network also running Windows 7 64 bit and PS3 media server 1,72 which runs the movies with Menconde and subtitles with no problems. So I'm ruling out the PS3 firmware update and firewall, network issues since I haven't touched anything on that end.
I have tried that version of PS3 media server on the other W7 and it doesn't work, so it's something about the W7 that at some point messed up the configuration I'm guessing. I tried, deleting the font cache, the UMS. conf files, clean installs, to no avail.
The thing is that at some point, in this box I switched from an old version with subs working to a new version were subs stopped working, and from then on not even old versions work.

Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem
I just installed UMS 3 alpha 1 & it works great! no more error! Let's hope it is stable!
Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem
I have the exact same problem. Same versions across PS3, UMS etc. I am on mac 10.8.3. Whatever I do some of the mkv's just won't play on PS3 (subtitle or not).
Two data points which may help -
1) I used my samsing TV to render and realized it works on Samsung TV in the EXACT setup (just use Samsung TV instead of PS3). Subtitles etc all work.
2) I setup PS3 media server (version 1.81.0 ). The same mkv works BOTH on PS3 & Samsung TV.
So my current conclusion is something between UMS & PS3 that is causing this issue.
BTW anyone knows where the font cache is on OSX ?
Best,
Sanjeev

Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem
Sanjeev, could you post a debug log from both your data points 1 and 2. I'm sure Subjunk would like to see the differences (make sure you set it to debug to trace)

Re: MEncoder and subtitle problem
Attached three log files for each scenario.
I can see a difference in the mencoder command line given in PMS 1.81.0 (which works with PS3, mkv file under test) and UMS 3.0.x (which does not work with PS3, mkv file under test)
For Samsung TV, it does not go into transcode/remux - maybe thats why there is no error there.

Hi,
I could watch films using AviSynth/MEncoder.
I posted some log files in order to help.

Using AviSynth/MEncoder I can watch the films, however I could not make the subtitles bigger, nor correct synchronization problems between subtitle and film.
