I apologize if this has already been asked but I've been searching for hours on this and other forums...

I'm running PS3 Media Server as my DLNA server. It works like a charm but I can't get most of my mkv downloaded movies to play audio. I think this is due to the incompatible audio format such as DTS. I want to a list of what audio formats are supported so I can look make sure I download files that play in the future.

Further, there are lots of recoding options in PS3 Media Server and I'm hoping someone knows which format to try to recode the audio into so these files will work..??

Basically for movies on the revue you can have mp3, aac, or ac3. Revue will not play dts, dtshd or truehd. I am pretty sure that ps3 MS will not do on the fly audio conersions either. Your best bet which is what I do is pull the dts and convert to ac3 then add the ac3 track as the first audio track in the mkv leaving DTS for future or other players.

And yes you obviously didn't search very hard

Thank you soo much! Two more thoughts..
1) I swear that up until 3 days ago the Avia app successfully played all my mkv movies on the Revue. Regardless of the the audio encoding. I even bought a 2nd Revue because of this. But now Avia totally stopped seeing any PS3 MS DLNA files at all and I don't know why. Is it possible that this did work and the app has changed/screwed up or have I just lost my mind?

And 2nd, what application do you use to pull/add the AC3 track to the mkv?

I am able to select the subtitle using the 'S' key, but the subtitles do not display. I've tried multiple files to no avail. I have a Review with the HC update and the latest paid version of GTVBox from the Market. Any advice?

If you can send me your subtitle file to [email protected], I could look at what is happening.

Thanks for your help (offline). For anyone following this, my subtitle file was SSA format, not SRT. Once I converted, it worked just fine. I have also successfully tested subtitles built into MKVs. This software is awesome. I'm looking forward to the graphical enhancements, including covers and sheets.

If anyone is having trouble with format types, including converting DTS to AC3, PM me. I have some mkvmerge and ffmpeg command lines that work perfectly. FYI, I work with Linux.

The basic will be: filename.mkv -> filename.jpg for file cover, -> filename_sheet.jpg for file sheet and cover.jpg and sheet.jpg for a folder.
Also, there will be templates for ThumbGen, Movienizer and Tvixie.
If you can suggest some other template, we could think to add it too.

Can you provide a little detail on how you're creating the sheets with Movienizer (if that is indeed what you are using)? Are you using the Dune export?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured you use the "Create covers for WDTV player" option under "Tools."

How do I switch audio tracks on a sony google TV?

GTVBox working perfectly on my NSX40GT1. Thanks! Any chance for DVR-MS or WTV support? Both are, I believe, containers for MPEG-2.

Have you had any luck with Airaplay? For that matter, are you even able to use it? I'm curious whether anyone else is having this issue.

Thanks for updating subtitle size, GTVbox on my Revue with Synology server work great.
I have one more wishlist and one issue so far..

- File/folder sort : Currently GTVbox sort file and folder together. So go to sub-folder take time if there is many files in main folder. If sorting works like windows explorer it'll be better - list up folder first based on sort option than rest of files are listed.

- H264/X264 codec in avi : Files with h264 video codec(480p/720p/1080p) + ac3 audio codec in avi container format play wrong with GTVbox. Video play 2x speed and audio in 1x speed. If i convert this kind of files to MP4 container, it works fine. I think this is Revue problem, hope this can be fix in GTVbox.

- This was asked couple of times. I'll try to find time to implement this.
- It is just a very bad idea to have H.264 in AVI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... er_formats
