fixed bug in buildbot 0.8.5

So I setup a buildbot system at work, and I was upgrading it today. I'm also using git (like all the cool kids)(and a version > 1.7.7) for source control. I ran into this bug today with a new buildslave I was setting up.

Now, looking over the change history:

Changed 7 weeks ago by dustin

    Status changed from new to closed
    Resolution set to fixed

Fix is merged - thanks for spotting that!

Oh good, they merged a fix, which means I can fix it on my system!

...except any of those details were not logged or are obscured.

bleh.

Anyway, after some digging I found the patch that fixes it in case anyone else needs a fix before the next version of buildbot is released.

ps3 mkv to mp4

Stick this in ~/.mplayer/mencoder.conf

[PS3_MKV]
oac=lavc=yes
lavcopts=vglobal=1:acodec=aac
af=volume=10
ovc=copy=yes
of=lavf=yes
lavfopts=format=mp4
forcedsubsonly=yes


Then do:
mencoder -profile PS3_MKV input.mkv -o output.mp4

Transcodes the audio, but that's very quick. Could not find a way to copy audio that worked. Tried the fafmttag values in my copy of codecs.conf:
format 0xff
format 0x706D
format 0x4143 ; aac in asf
format 0xA106 ; aac in avi
format 0xAAC0
