[Solved] Cannot play tsMuxed files

Post by crazysprocket »

UMS 4.1.1, Java 8, OS X 10.9.5

Having trouble with files that play through tsMuxer. Files play if I go through transcode directory to use MEncoder or FFmpeg. In the log file it looks like UMS expects a tsMuxeR-new executable, but the app bundle still contains tsMuxeR (without the -new suffix).

Code: Select all

09-18 21:33:35  Error initializing process: 
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "osx/tsMuxeR-new": error=2, No such file or directory

I'm getting the same error in 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.

I find 4.0.0a-Java7 to be the most stable for tsMuxer.

Thanks Optimus.

I can post debug logs if that helps. I haven't as yet because I wanted to start with fresh logs, however since FFMPEG needs to update fonts every launch (even when I have all subs disabled) it takes up a heap of CPU for a long period of time. To be honest, I don't understand why font indexing is so resource heavy...but that is for another thread.

Thanks again mate.

Kefran, Thanks for that info.
I don't see that issue mainly as OS-X isn't my UMS machine. Thats something that we need to look at as not everyone has big speedy machines :)
Debug log not needed yet, let you know if i need one. Thanks

Thanks Optimus, no more error regarding tsMuxer-new.

I'm still having some issues with some vids not playing (unsupported data errors), however that may be the vids themselves --though I don't see any reason why they shouldn't work. I will troubleshoot more and get back to you.

I have noticed an issue with AC3 (5.1) and FFMpeg where the AC3 isn't passed through to receiver as LPCM 2 channel, however if I switch to Mencoder it does. Any ideas what could cause that? I prefer passing AC3 and DTS to my receiver to decode.

Thanks again for the speedy tsMuxer fix! :)
