Videos defualt to mpeg not AVC UMS 6.60 ps3

[jp0213x]

That is why I hardly upgrade, 5.1.3 works well. From time to I upgrade to test to see how things work. Is there any reason why they made the change to move from AVC?

Many files had A/V sync issues with tsMuxer, IIRC. I know I did and manually selected FFmpeg to fix it when it happened. You can just check the box again to see if it works for you.

@jp0213x,

Since your disabled the subtitles, it's normal that you don't get it...

Have a look at our Wiki:
https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... -Subtitles

If you still have subtitles issue, just enabled it, play a video giving you issue and post your Trace log.
Don't forget to tell us the name(s) of the videos, as it'll save us time to look at hundred of log lines.

So I posted logs both from version UMS 6.60 and 5.1.3 when subtitles are enabled. There appears to be a problem with videos that have internal subtitles. They will not play with UMS 6.60 when AVC is the defaulted. UMS 5.1.3 seems to know what video engine to use by default when playing videos with internal and external subs. UMS 5.1.3 defaults with AVS natively. Rarely do I have to choose the trans code options for subs with 5.1.3 if enabled if just knows what engine to use. The files played that have internal subs are Gomorrah and Deutschland 83. Carte land is a video that has an external sub. For some reason I've reached a quota for posting logs. http://workupload.com/file/2fsVDDN

From your last UMS 6.6.0 log:

Code: Select all

Reading disable_subtitles: true

That line fixes the AVC problem but seems to break subs, lol .5.1.3 played the correct video engines if I had content that required sub titles. I would just uncheck disable subtitles and the content would play with subs. Now that doesn't work.

One time again, as you disabled the subtitles, you'll not get them !

[jp0213x]

Disabled sub were unchecked when watching Gamorrah, do I need to restart UMS each time when unchecking and checking that option?

[Sami32]

It's not what say your own log:

Code: Select all

DEBUG 2017-03-07 19:08:00.671 [main] Reading disable_subtitles: true (default: false)

Though your UMS.conf file say that you enabled it.

So your UMS install or file configuration seem the root of your issue, because if your modified manually the wrong UMS.conf file before, it keep precedence on the one in ProgramData folder.
Try to delete all the UMS.conf files except the one in C:\ProgramData\UMS\UMS.conf

If it do not solve your issue, try with a clean install.

[jp0213x]

I do a clean install each time.

OK, don't worry, just add this line into your PS3 renderer configuration file:

Code: Select all

TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-H264-AC3

And hopefully, everything should work as you expect

Please, don't forget to give feedback.

So when I add the code to the config file and uncheck disable subs, the video will not play.

It seem that you forget to read our Wiki
https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... ttings-tab
https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... s-settings

And you omit to say that when you played movies with subtitles in UMS 5.1.3 you didn't get "AVC"...
It look like a good reason to upgrade your UMS version to me

In "Transcoding Settings" tab, the option "Use font settings..." in the "FFmpeg" video engine should be selected

In the "Transcoding Settings" tab, unselect the "Remux videos with tsMuxeR when possible instead of transcoding" option in the "FFmpeg" video engine.

In the "Audio settings" sub tab, select "Keep AC-3 tracks".

Adding this line into your renderer configuration file will not hurt:

Code: Select all

RemoveTagsFromSRTSubtitles = false

P.S. Please, when this issue will be solved, don't forget to add "[Solved]" in front of the title of your first post. Thanks.
