problems with audio and ffmpeg

[mrtickle]

Can you do a fresh install -- I think there is a UMS Service installed once before but not now:

Code: Select all

DEBUG 2013-12-08 11:57:32.631 [AWT-EventQueue-0] Starting "C:\Program Files\Universal Media Server\win32\service\wrapper.exe" -r wrapper.conf
DEBUG 2013-12-08 11:57:33.038 [Thread-20] wrapper  | The Universal Media Server service is not installed - The specified service does not exist as an installed service. (0x424)

ok. I did do a fresh install as there were many changes since my old Feb version. It by default wanted to install it as a service, but I didn't want that, and I run it not as a service. I don't know why it was trying to also run itself as a service after already starting up.

Also a Directory that is no longer available?

Code: Select all

WARN  2013-12-08 12:14:47.540 [New I/O worker #12] The directory M:\ does not exist. Please remove it from your Shared folders list on the Navigation/Share Settings tab

That's my DVD-ROM drive. When I use UMS to watch a DVD on the PS3, or AVI files that are on my vast collection of burned DVDs, I put the disc into the drive. The rest of the time, the drive is empty and I get that error. I don't really like seeing it as an error, it's a big nagging, I have deliberately shared drive M for a reason! I certainly would never keep adding and removing drive M to the shares based on when I want to play a file from a DVD. An enhancement might be to not nag with that message if it's a physical drive that is not available, but I am happy to live with that minor point as it's just a line in a logfile which I know about and can safely ignore.

I think this might be your issue:

Code: Select all

DEBUG 2013-12-08 12:23:42.254 [Thread-59] [VD_FFMPEG] DRI failure.

Hmm. I don't know why it's using so much memory. Nevertheless it shouldn't need FFMPEG to play a simple mp3 file on the ps3, as the ps3 should play mp3 natively?

That debug info shows there were a lot of files played, can you tell us which one/s you had problems with?

Yes, sure I'll check through. May do another log with the newer version.

Here are my later tests and a new logfile which is hopefully clearer.

test 1. 18:31:39.968
Kermode_10121019 Tim Burton.mp3
Failed with Network Error 80710736 on the PS3.
There is also a pregnant pause (6 seconds) before the screen changed on the PS3 and it failed showing the error.

test 2. 18:31:52.281
repeated same file.
failed the same way.

test 3. 18:32:05.390
Kermode_20120106 Ralph Fiennes.mp3
failed the same way

test 4. 18:32:22.375
Kermode_20120113 Steven Spielberg.mp3
This played fine!

test 5. 18:32:40.968
Back to Kermode_20120106 Ralph Fiennes.mp3
failed as above.

test 6. 18:32:56.953
I repeated "Kermode_20120113 Steven Spielberg.mp3" again, the file from test 4.
this time it failed, but it's the same file that just worked a minute ago! Failure was as above.

HTH

ps this seems an odd message in the way it is written - Overriding detected mime type "audio/mpeg"... with "audio/mpeg" (ie the same thing)?

Code: Select all

TRACE 2013-12-11 18:31:29.015 [New I/O worker #9] Overriding detected mime type "audio/mpeg" for file "Kermode_10121019 Tim Burton.mp3" with renderer preferred mime type "audio/mpeg"

bump. I have now updated to the latest version and I still have this problem.

Are there any other logfiles you need from me to find out what's causing this problem please?

[mrtickle]

I have now updated to version 3.4.2 and still have the problem

As before please let me know whatever I can do to help track it down.
