Video plays in fast forward on PS3

Post by lenmac »

Hey guys,

I've recently been having an issue with certain videos playing in fast forward while streaming to the PS3. A workaround is simply having the video play in slow motion on the PS3 to make it play at the proper speed; Is there a way to fix this issue without resorting to workarounds? I'm using a freshly installed copy of UMS version 5.0.1 Java8 (Java7 did the same thing). I checked the debug log and the only thing related to the playback of the problem videos is:

I am using 5.0.1 with no issues. I did have this problem when I used avisynth. I now just use FFmpeg transcoder with only the 'multithreading' set on the FFmpeg "general settings". Have you also tried any of the other transcode settings.
