[FIXED] Clean install 2.4.1 wont play h264 on BraviaW5500

[squadjot]

So when was this bug introduced? 2.2.5? So does that mean 2.2.4 does not have it?

2.2.4 had the "bug" aswell..

I dont know when it started.. i'll have to start testing :/.. was hoping others was reporting the same problems, and the obvious would come to mind.

Here's latest try..(2.5.0 w/ UMS Builder) clean install, same thing happens.

Note: It all works when i go through the transcode folder one by one.

Here's what's happening in debug log:

1. i go to transcode folder and play the file with mencoder (without subs) - WORKS!
2. Next option is (SubRip/English) (this is the embedded english subtitles, apparently.. (is it subrip then?) - WORKS!
3. Next option is (SubRip) (external srt) - WORKS!
-----
Ok, so basically every scenario works.. but when i go back to the default option of the movie.. it fails.
---
4. Play the default option - FAILS

What i want is the default option to play the file with external subtitle.

Edit: if i play good old xvid files , everything works as expected
Edit2: I tried numerous combinations of subs priorities in GUI, also tried completely clearing.. using und.. * and whatnot.
I also tried priority "da" and rename the srt file accordingly ..same thing happened

I tried removing the srt file from the directory, UMS plays the file with mencoder as expected.

Ok, now i've been through some versions of UMS, here's something conclusive:

2.2.0 Default option plays the file (but does not show the external subtitle - "original bug")
2.2.1 Default option cannot playback the file

Here's the log from 2.2.0 (which is the latest version that lets me play h264 with ext subs from clean install)

If anyone would like to test the problem scenario
~80mb sample mkv w/embedded + ext subs

What happens if you untick the "remux videos with tsmuxer" option in the MEncoder settings?

[squadjot]

Thanks for replying - the setting is gone from the UI =).. can i add to config?, whats the name of the variable?

Edit: I guess it's

Code: Select all

mencoder_mux_compatible = true

The variable was not defined in UMS.conf

[squadjot]

ok manually setting

Code: Select all

mencoder_mux_compatible = false

Make the file play as expected with external subs, using default play option.

Edit2:
i tried clean install.. and aslong as i put mencoder_mux_compatible = false,
The default subtitle prioritizing seems to work (srt is prioritized, without having to put "und" first in line)

My default subtitle settings appears to be:

Code: Select all

Subtitle language priority: eng,fre,jpn,ger,und
Forced:en
Forced tags:forced

If it is gone from the UI you must be using a beta version (not helpful for fixing bugs)
OK that helps to know changing that setting fixes it

My default subtitle settings appears to be:

Code: Select all

Subtitle language priority: eng,fre,jpn,ger,und
Forced:en
Forced tags:forced

In some cases "sub lang priority" may be ignored. Post also your "audio/sub priority" which is preferred when defined or when incorrect default settings is used (it happened in some older versions)

[squadjot]

Hi Exsport, the Audio/Sub is blank (defualt).
