PS3: 4.4: MP4 Files some not playing (UNSUPPORTED in list)
Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 9:19 am
Weird problem.
nothing has changed in my setup apart from PS3 Firmware 1.9 but I think we can eliminate that.
I have been converting all my media with PS3 Video9 and until recently all has been well. Now all new converted files are not available under Twonky / PS3, converts prior to the 1.9 update work great. Again I think it is a coincidence.
Here are the outputs from MPlayers `midentify` on linux
[root@pupster TOOLS]# ./midentify A.mp4
ID_VIDEO_ID=0
ID_AUDIO_ID=1
ID_FILENAME=A.mp4
ID_DEMUXER=mov
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=avc1
ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=0
ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=576
ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=320
ID_VIDEO_FPS=23.976
ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000
ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=mp4a
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0
ID_AUDIO_RATE=44100
ID_AUDIO_NCH=2
ID_LENGTH=5033.19
ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffh264
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=128000
ID_AUDIO_RATE=44100
ID_AUDIO_NCH=2
ID_AUDIO_CODEC=faad
[root@pupster TOOLS]# ./midentify B.mp4
ID_VIDEO_ID=0
ID_AUDIO_ID=1
ID_FILENAME=B.mp4
ID_DEMUXER=mov
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=avc1
ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=0
ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=1280
ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=532
ID_VIDEO_FPS=23.976
ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=2.3947
ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=mp4a
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0
ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000
ID_AUDIO_NCH=2
ID_LENGTH=60.94
ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffh264
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=128000
ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000
ID_AUDIO_NCH=2
ID_AUDIO_CODEC=faad
A.mp4 doesnt work but B.mp4 does, however both video files work under VLC player and other things. XBMC does NOT play A.mp4 either.
If you need more info please let me know and I will provide.
