What exactly did you have to do to fix it? I've tried a few things, but still it gives me the error.
EDIT: I fixed it by setting the owner of the auto-scan directory recursively(all files and subdirs as well) to "mediatomb". Though, I'm not certain if this is the proper and correct method?
EDIT2: It is only necessary to make the owner of the directory itself to "mediatomb", not any files or subdirectories within it. |

| I also recursively set the permissions/ownership on the specific directory that was having the issue. You are correct about not having to set the ownership on the files, but that is most likely because the files are world readable. |

I've upgrade my PS3 with firmware 2.40 this morning.
The very good news: I can again play all MKV transcoded on-the-fly with Mediatomb.
Sony has eventually fixed this very anoying issue. |

That's great news! I also noticed that setting the audio sample rate back to 48kHz in the video transcoding script also works. I previously had to set it to 44kHz to avoid choppy playback and drop-outs after a few seconds of play. With the upcoming MT 0.12.0 we will also be able to stream transcoded audio to the PS3, although I already have it working with 0.11.0 via a patch.  |

Thanks for the update.
I'll upgrade my video transcoding script to use 48KHz for the audio sample rate. |

Hi,
I'm actually using an overlay for mediatomb (net-misc/mediatomb-9999) who is using : https://svn.mediatomb.cc/svnroot/mediatomb/trunk/mediatomb
Do I shoult continue to use it or mediatomb is now include in portage with up-to-date version ?
Thanks, |

DuF,
The SVN ebuild is no longer maintained and it would require some changes to take advantage of the new features found in SVN. The SVN ebuild would be able to make use of the PS3 audio transcoding fix, but other than that there is no point in using it. I have back ported the PS3 audio transcoding fix back to MT 0.11.0 and I can send you the patch and instructions for setting it up if you want. |

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
In fact I'm not using audio with my ps3 since even with transcoding I can't play audio because I'm only using ogg/vorbis files (maybe I do something wrong, but for me it's not possible to play ogg/vorbis files with mediatomb and ps3).
So in my case, it seems to be better to use the ebuild in portage and no more the overlay, I will do it.
Another thing, since the update of firmware 2.40, I've problem to play some video, have you heard some problems about this ?
Thanks for all. |

DuF,
The reason you can't get audio transcoding to work with the SVN version is because MT incorrectly sets the UPnP class for Ogg items. You need to add <map from="application/ogg" to="object.item.audioItem.musicTrack"/> to the <mimetype-upnpclass> section. You then need to re-import all your Ogg items for it to take effect. You also need to make sure that the audio transcoding script streams RAW PCM in big endian format. If you used the VLC script from the Wiki, you need to set AUDIO_CODEC to s16b. If you used the FFmpeg script then you need to set AUDIO_CODEC to pcm_s16be and FORMAT to s16be. These steps also apply to MT 0.11.0 but you will also need a patch which I can send to you if you want.
I have had no issues with 2.40 and most users have said that it fixed the transcoding issues they had with previous versions. |

Thanks for the quick answer.
If I'm correct, with the mediatomb 0.11.0 in portage, I will need your patch ? I'm actually restarting the emerge of mediatomb because of a problem with one of my uses. Do I need to wait for your patch ?
I perform the change in /usr/bin/mediatomb-transcode-audio.
For my information, what's the difference between the previous s16le and s16be ?
Thanks |

DuF,
Yes with 0.11.0 in Portage you will need my patch. This patch is my personal patch so it will never make it into Portage. If your still using SVN then you don't need my patch. The difference between s16le and s16be is that one is little endian and the other is big endian. The PS3 is a PPC architecture so it needs big endian otherwise the audio will come out all garbled. |

ok, thanks for the precision about big endian.
So, since I'm using mediatomb in portage, I will accept your patch, could you send me it by PM ?
Thanks |

Thanks for the patch.
Maybe now we need to discuss about mediatomb in antoher place than in "unsupported software" since mediatomb is in portage ?
Another point, maybe it will be a good idea to update the wiki with all the information concerning the patch for ps3, I think that lot of people may be interested.
By the way, thanks for all. I will give you feedback about my use of mediatomb. |

Yeah that's a good idea. I guess someone needs to start a new topic, maybe under Multimedia.

Well I actually sent the patch to the ebuild maintainer, but I haven't heard from him since, which probably means it won't make it into Portage. Not sure if want to add this to the Wiki, as it won't be support by Gentoo if things go wrong. Plus the next version of MT shouldn't be too far away. |

OK, thanks for all the given details.
Another question :
Since last update with the firmware 2.40, the ps3 see the video who are not working with wrong "information". If I check with the ps3 menu, it says to me that the non working videos in mediatomb are about 2000Gbytes (sometimes less or more). In this case, is there something that I can do as a workaround ?
EDIT : After cleaning mediatomb.xml config, restarting mediatomb, deleting the non working video from mediatomb's database, now all is fine and the ps3 see correctly the space of each video. |

Hi BT,
So, this is my feedback about the patch to be able listen ogg/vorbis music with mediatomb and my ps3.
I think that around 60% of my 2000 songs is working, the 40% more are not working for an unknonw reasons. When I try to play this 40% of music, in general that's simply go to to the next song without displaying an error (like uncompatible data...).
When I check the informations of working and not working songs I get the same data :
- codec : PCM linéaire - bit 2 can (I think in english is PCM linear - bit 2 cha)
- frequency : 44.100Khz
If you have an idea to make those songs working, I'm interested 
But thanks for this patch one more time.
EDIT : The patch works with FLAC too. |

DuF,
Try adding <audio-channels>2</audio-channels> and <sample-frequency>44100</sample-frequency> to your audio transcoding profile. You need to make sure that the values of these two tags match the values of AUDIO_CHANNELS and AUDIO_SAMPLERATE in your audio transcoding script.
My entire music collection is encoded with FLAC and so far I have not had any problems. The patch has nothing to do with the format of your audio, so it should work with any audio format that your transcoder supports. |

Like always, thanks for your reply, still helpful.
I'm not actually at my home, so I will check the transcoding profile next time. But I will try also to re-encode some songs that are non working, because all the non working songs was encoded a long time ago with an old version of ogg encoder.
Thanks, |

I'm using the following script:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
INPUT="$1"
OUTPUT="$2"
if [[ $(/usr/bin/mkvinfo "${INPUT}" | grep "S_TEXT/ASS") ]]; then
VIDEO_ENCODER="ffmpeg"
VIDEO_CODEC="mp2v"
VIDEO_BITRATE="4096"
VIDEO_FPS="25"
AUDIO_ENCODER="ffmpeg"
AUDIO_CODEC="mpga"
AUDIO_BITRATE="192"
AUDIO_SAMPLERATE="48000"
AUDIO_CHANNELS="2"
FORMAT="ps"
SUBTITLE_TRACK="0"
exec /usr/bin/vlc -I dummy "${INPUT}" --sout "#transcode{venc=${VIDEO_ENCODER},vcodec=${VIDEO_CODEC}\
,vb=${VIDEO_BITRATE},fps=${VIDEO_FPS},soverlay,aenc=${AUDIO_ENCODER}\
,acodec=${AUDIO_CODEC},ab=${AUDIO_BITRATE},samplerate=${AUDIO_SAMPLERATE},channels=${AUDIO_CHANNELS}\
,audio-sync}:standard{access=file,mux=${FORMAT},dst=${OUTPUT}}" --sub-track=${SUBTITLE_TRACK} vlc:quit >/dev/null 2>&1
else
VIDEO_CODEC="mpeg2video"
VIDEO_BITRATE="4096k"
VIDEO_FPS="25"
AUDIO_CODEC="ac3"
AUDIO_BITRATE="192k"
AUDIO_SAMPLERATE="48000"
AUDIO_CHANNELS="2"
FORMAT="dvd"
exec /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i "${INPUT}" -vcodec ${VIDEO_CODEC} -b ${VIDEO_BITRATE} \
-r ${VIDEO_FPS} -acodec ${AUDIO_CODEC} -ab ${AUDIO_BITRATE} -ar ${AUDIO_SAMPLERATE} \
-ac ${AUDIO_CHANNELS} -f ${FORMAT} - > "${OUTPUT}" 2>/dev/null

Which normally works quite nicely, but now I have this MKV file with three tracks, with the third containing subtitles.
That causes the script to use VLC when transcoding, but my PS3 only displays "The data type is not supported."
If I change the script to force it to transcode the MKV with ffmpeg instead, my PS3 plays without error, but also without subtitles.
I have tried changing VLC's audio codec to a52 without luck, and I also tried to change the format from ps to ts, also without luck.
Is there anything I could try to get VLC to play the file? I thought that with identical settings VLC would work when ffmpeg works? |

Heion,
Could you please run the following VLC command for about 10-15 seconds, and see if it can transcode your MKV file without using MediaTomb. You should also make note of any error messages that VLC outputs during the transcode. Make sure you substitute INPUT_FILE and OUTPUT_FILE with the correct values.
| Code: | | vlc INPUT_FILE -vvv -I dummy --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=4096,soverlay,acodec=mpga,ab=192,samplerate=48000,channels=2,audio-sync}:standard{mux=ps,access=file,dst=OUTPUT_FILE.mpeg}" --sub-track=0 vlc:quit |

Heion,
Can you disable the subtitle output by removing soverlay and --sub-track=0 from the VLC command and then run it again. If transcoding does not fail, then it would confirm that the issue is with the subtitles. I did find this post on the VLC forum that appears to be similar to the issue your having so it might help. Your best option is to try the VLC IRC channel or forum as I really don't know much about these issues. |

VLC still stops after approx. 10 seconds, even though the previous error messages disappeared.
I did find some warnings:
| Code: | | [00000277] mkv demuxer warning: cannot find any cluster, damaged file ? |
and
| Code: | | [00000260] main stream output warning: trying to send non-dated packet to stream output! |
and
| Code: | | [00000306] ffmpeg decoder warning: warning: first frame is no keyframe (h264@0x817b260) |
and some errors:
| Code: | [00000307] ffmpeg encoder warning: MPEG1/2 does not support 250000/10427 fps (mpeg2video@0x8281d30)
[00000307] ffmpeg encoder error: cannot open encoder

What do you think? |
