PS3MediaServer and Mencoder/Ffmpeg

Hi all.
I was never able to use Mencoder with PMS (from aur) to stream on my Xbox. On the other hand Ffmpeg was working fine before the last update.
I thought PMS was not up to date so I installed ps3mediaserver-git (from aur) but that didn't work. So I reinstalled PMS and found this : http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/forum/vie … =3&t=14605
Now it works. Well I mean ffmpeg works. The precompiled version.

Here is my problem though : Chapters are not working. I can't stream a movie and just go to a particular position in the movie which is not very useful.

And here are my questions :
How can I downgrade ffmpeg without risk to its previous version ?
How can I make mencoder work ? (since it doesn't work even with precompiled version)
Is there a way I can see the logs of PMS (I launch it with systemctl) and see which commands it launches so I can debug it ?

Thanks in advance
