Greetings everyone,
I am experiencing some weird behavior while using External Subtitles, e.g. Playing an AVI file with PS3MediaServer works fine but playing the very same AVI file with external subtitles gives me the video with subtitles and no sound.
My Server configuration is as follows :
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
RAM :2048 Mo
OS : Archlinux 2.6.37-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 8 08:34:35 CET 2011 x86_64
Target : Playstation 3 Slim, firmware 3.60
Here are the various Sofware versions I use :
PMS version I am using is PS3 Media Server 1.21.0 (built from AUR, PKG: pms-svn)
Java version is Java: 1.6.0_22-Sun Microsystems Inc.
MPlayer version is "MPlayer SVN-r32792-4.5.2 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team" and so is "MEncoder SVN-r32792-4.5.2 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team"
TSMuxer version is "1.10.6-10"
FFMpeg version is "FFmpeg version git-2611e52"
The network configuration of the server is : 192.168.0.20, netmask 255.255.255.0 ; 100MBits Full Duplex (Wired)
The network configuration of the Playstation 3 is : 192.168.0.15, netmask 255.255.255.0 ; Auto (Wired, no WiFi !)
Both are linked on a 100MBits Switch : Playstation 3 <--> Switch 100 Mbits <--> PS3 Media Server

I am quite confused with this issue ; did anyone experienced the same thing ?

Having the same problem. I'm watching all of my movies without subs now, because transcoding kills the 5.1 audio (no problems with 2 channel audio). A workaround is posted in the comments of the pms-svn package.
I will post the URL to this thread to another thread with probably the same problem (mplayer/x264). I have not yet seen a real solution to this, and I'm not really familiar with the bugzilla's from both projects.
Other threads with similar problems:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112219 (devede also uses mplayer and x264)
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22654 (related bug in Archlinux)
http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1865 (related bug in mplayer)
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115165 (this thread)
Another workaround might be to trick pms into using ffmpeg or vlc rather than mencoder. I'm also streaming to a ps3 - I didn't try it, but it could be as easy as temporarily changing settings inside the profile for a ps3-client.
