2.3.0 external subtitles (Sony Bravia 40EX650)

[clapton]

ok, thanks. here's another zip then.

I was wrong about the code at first. I re-edited it to fix it. That's the correct way to setup tracing. Sorry about that.

ok, but how can I restore the first line of text that u have me changed previously (in logback.xml)?

Change that first line of code back to what it was originally:

Code: Select all

<configuration debug="true">

And when you're done creating a traced log, then you can exit UMS and change that line back to DEBUG instead of TRACE.

Code: Select all

<root level="DEBUG">

After you make the original changes to turn it into a trace log don't forget to restart UMS and then replicate the problem you're having by doing whatever you were trying to do while using UMS. I would also recommend deleting the debug.log (after closing UMS) and then when you restart it, it will create a new one using the trace option. This way they'll be less to sort through when someone is trying to help troubleshoot it for you.

If you're still confused by what I've said above just follow these step by step instructions.

I did everything u asked. here's the debug.zip. now I can restore those lines in logback.xml right?

Yep, if you've followed the instructions above then the log should be a trace log and you can restore your settings back to the original settings inside the logback.xml file. You can always make a backup of the Universal Media Server directory before you make any changes like this if you're worried about something happening. That way you'll have the original files to restore if needed (and it makes it easier to just replace the edited logback file with the original when you're done).

I've looked at the new debug.log file you posted and it is set to trace.

[clapton]

thanks. so whats the next step?

Do you know for what reason there is #TRANSCODE# folder?
If you dive into it you will see your file in many combinations (audio/sub language and used engines like [MEncoder], etc.)
Play the one beginning with [MEncoder] and with your subs in the name.
If you don't see it, problem is, you didn't say us your renderer is UNKNOWN Quite important info.

TRACE 2013-02-07 15:46:40.899 [New I/O server worker #1-1] Using default media renderer: Unknown renderer
INFO 2013-02-07 15:46:40.899 [New I/O server worker #1-1] Media renderer was not recognized. Possible identifying HTTP headers: User-Agent: UPnP/1.0, X-AV-Client-Info: av=5.0; cn="Sony Corporation"; mn="BRAVIA KDL-40EX650"; mv="1.7";, X-AV-Physical-Unit-Info: pa="BRAVIA KDL-40EX650";

Also in log there is no info, your file was transcoded via MEnocder. I can see only one Skyfall.mp4 file was streamed (streaming doesn't support subs!)
What to do:
- Make a copy of this file in RENDERERS folder: "BraviaEX620.conf"
- Name it as "BraviaEX650.conf"
- Replace line "UserAgentAdditionalHeaderSearch = (BRAVIA KDL.+EX620)" with "UserAgentAdditionalHeaderSearch = BRAVIA KDL-40EX650"
- Restart UMS
- Check in UMS GUI that your TV is detected
- If yes, test file again, also from #TRANSCODE# folder
- if not, post new debug.zip (set the debug level again to TRACE - it can be done in latest beta build directly from GUI I suppose)

TV is recognised, [MEncoder] is there, but the movie doesnt play.

Did you also try playing it with FFmpeg via the #Transcode# folder?

[clapton]

works with Mencoder subrip and FFmpeg subrip only. rewinding is very slow as in PS3MS and it crashes in FFmpeg subrip.
dont understand why Mencoder External Subtitles dont work cause it works on PS3MS.

[kuroukage]

External subs are working fine for me using Mencoder with .mkv and .srt external subtitle files. Are you naming your .srt files the exact same name as the video you're trying to play (such as: 123.mkv and 123.srt)? FFmpeg doesn't support external subs yet, but will in this upcoming release.
