The PS4 Media player has sync issues for some formats which becomes noticeable after 20-40 mins. stopping and starting the file will get it back in sync. it's a problem sony caused a couple of updates ago from what i have read on other forums. transcoded files don't seem affected though but that has...

i've tried a few things to eliminate any network problems, the only constant being the ps4 and nothing changed. i made logs of the tests just in case but probably won't help. first i tried a different router, all connections over wifi. then tried same setup from my 10+ year old laptop and even tried...

do you have any issues like i have (see my thread) on your ps4 when transcoding? i don't have problems watching most stuff as if it is a supported format it streams without any problem but it is those formats that are not supported like HEVC MKV's that require transcoding or resuming files that caus...

ok with clean install no luck. (1st log) with TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-H264-AAC - with or without ChunkedTransfer i get the start stop start issue then plays but on this build seeking don't seem to work. if i try to FF the file restarts from the beginning.

ok tried TranscodeVideo = MPEGPS-MPEG2-AC3 and UMS just did the start playing - stop playing - start playing - stop playing thing for about a minute then PS4 Says cannot play file. with SeekByTime = false and MPEGTS-H264-AC3 is the same but will play, just the same as the default config for ps4 i'll...

not sure if i have already tried them but will give them another go. i remember trying the default mpeg2 setting and the example ones in the default config and the one in the ps3 config file with no success. the only one that was usable (with current issues) was the one already in the ps4 config whi...

... The PS4 is wired directly to my router, and is connected to my computer though a powerline lan adaptor . ... Is it a BPL adaptor, as Broadband over PowerLine? I work with these adaptors on daily basis and I'm mostly not impressed with their performance - usually it can deliver only some tens of...

ok got the logs. i was wrong about the error code, it was 1 not -1 though.

i will do another clean install to replicate the ffmpeg error and post a log when i can, but it may have just been a typo in the config as it worked once i changed AAC to AC3 (as far as ffmpeg is concerned that is)

unfortunately no luck despite fingers crossed :( first run didn't work and logs said ffmpeg returned error code -1 or something so checked the config file and changed TranscodeVideo from MKV-H264-AAC or something to MKV-H264-AC3 (can't remember exactly don't have config file with me) which worked fo...
