Some Minor Updates

Thursday, July 30, 2009 | Posted by OZC | Edit Post
Just wanted to address a few things that I didn't want to wait until Monday to mention in the weekly update post.

First off, the problems with some of the Gundam Wing Episodes. I am aware that people are having some issues playing back Episodes 10 and 15. This is due to the way I replaced the chapter times. Normally, when I add chapters, they are muxed into the file alongside the audio, video and subs. However, in the case of these two episodes, I used MKVMergeGUI's "Save Chapters to file..." feature. From the way it appears, it seems to forcibly replace/add the chapter times and this appears to break compatibility with some players. I can tell you now that it will work fine using Media Player Classic Home Cinema. Also, since I spelled the name of Episode 10 wrong, I'll be correcting that. I'm pretty sure the subs are OK though.

Also on the Gundam Wing front, Episodes 13 and 14 have the Japanese audio mislabeled as English in the track ID's. The track names are still correct. This only seems to be a minor inconvenience for people using the default language option in their player, but I understand it is annoying.

These changes will all be made to the complete series torrent. I won't be making patches for them, but I can give instructions if someone else wants to create the patches. Expect that torrent in about a month.

Next, playback help requests. Please, please, PLEASE. The Playback help page was added for a reason. I'm fine with people mentioning they had an issue with a particular episode or pointing out issues like the ones I mentioned above. Those can go in the appropriate post comments. However, if you need help converting a file to run on a PS3, or you can't get the episode to play at all, anything like that, PLEASE use the Playback Help thread. It has a static link on the right and I get emailed anytime a comment is posted so I will see it at some point.

Now, reseed requests. I will be changing how they are handled from now on. If you don't adhere to this, I will ignore it and you'll have to hope that someone is paying attention and is willing to reseed it for you. Later tonight, a new static link will be added for reseed requests. You must post ALL reseed requests there. No more of these requests going into posts that have nothing to do with the series you are requesting. I'm not trying to single anyone out here because it's been happening for months. The new reseed requests page will contain a list of all of the torrents that are still supported. Check back later tonight for that page so you can get more details.

Lastly, the series requests page. I'm going to be deleting it and updating it tonight. I'm not getting rid of the requests page, I just want to clean it out since there are a lot of repeat requests and such. The new page will have a shortened version of the release policy and a list of currently planned series so that people don't have to repeat requests for them. It will be updated if I accept a request so that it is as up to date as possible.

That should cover everything I wanted to bring up.
