Hi Guys
Been using Ums for a long time
a couple of month ago I find myself unable to play 720/1080 mkv with dts sound
Using the transcode folder doesnt help either
it has never been a problem before
mvk with d5.1 or less plays fine
Any thougths?
Regards form Denmark

No stream is generated so nothing can be played.
Please go to the command line CMD and run both commands for about 20secs separately (CTRL+C or touching Q should stop it):
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server\win32\ffmpeg64.exe" -y -loglevel info -i "D:\Downloads\Avengers.Age.of.Ultron.2015.DKSUBS.720p.BluRay.x264-iRL\avengersageofultron720p.mkv" -filter_complex subtitles=D\\:/Downloads/Avengers.Age.of.Ultron.2015.DKSUBS.720p.BluRay.x264-iRL/avengersageofultron720p.srt:1280x536:ISO-8859-1 -bufsize 7000000 -maxrate 498000000 -g 25 -q:v 1 -qmin 2 -qmax 3 -an -f mpeg2video d:\video.mpg
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server\win32\ffmpeg64.exe" -y -ss 0 -i "D:\Downloads\Avengers.Age.of.Ultron.2015.DKSUBS.720p.BluRay.x264-iRL\avengersageofultron720p.mkv" -ac 2 -f dts -c:a copy d:\audio.wav
[/size]
It should geenrate audio and video file in root of disk D:\. Check the size. If any of them has size smaller then eg. 1 MBytes or is totally zero, something is wrong
UMS divides audio and video tracks and sends them to FFmpeg. The result is muxed with tsMuxeR together and played on PS3. But if any of those streams will be empty, chain brokes and PS3 will get invalid or no data. Also if FFmpeg will produce valid but somehow uncompatible data, then also tsMuxeR can refuse them so again the final file is unplayable.
