The only difference I see is that the audio is stream 0 in the one that doesn't work. Do you have any other ones with the audio in stream 0 that do stream?
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure the last pair I checked had the audio streams in the same position, but...jesus. What a thing to break on/check for/etc. I'll start poking through.
I'm also looking at app settings (nothing stands out, but I truly don't understand this stuff), so I moved on to the logs, and the one referring to the failed file is:
Starting "/Applications/PS3 Media Server.app/Contents/Resources/Java/osx/ffmpeg" -ss 1 -i "/Volumes/Ghostfacers/Video/Zoe's downloads/House.of.Lies.S01E03.720p.HDTV.x264-AVS.mkv" -an -an -s 320x180 -vframes 1 -f image2 pipe:
But I don't see anything indicating an error of any sort. And I guess I need to have a look at the meaning of the parameters for ffmpeg to see if they have any deeper meaning. It uses the same parameters for every file in the folder.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I downloaded, and it works fine in VLC for me. I remuxed using subler and got something that was decent, but not great.

It plays fine in VLC for me too. Something's breaking in the transcoding when it's being streamed through PS3 Media Server, using UPnP to my Samsung TV. It streams the first one just fine, but not the second. I've never had any problem playing any of them on either of my computers.
I'll see if a remuxed version streams successfully, though. Thanks.
eta: It does stream everything else in this folder, which makes it the most successful server so far. But this is on my Mac. I hope it's as good when I move it to Windows or Linux (crosses fingers).

So! I need to rent a dedicated server. Recommendations? Cautionary tales?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Are you finally taking over fandom?

I, for one, welcome our new fannish overperson.

Sadly it is for purposes unrelated to fandom. Or webhosting.
I need a box where I can set up a bunch of VMs to test software using different IP addresses.

I'd avoid iStrata at this point.

Yeah, me too. I think you want more management than this. They just toss a server into your virtual lap and walk away. But I've never had a dedicated server at anything smaller than a corporate level anywhere else, so I have no recommendations.
