Hi, i have a samsung c7000 led tv. Each time i play a mp4 file on mezzmo it will take a long time to load the video and once it starts playing it doesn't show the timeline at the top (meaning i cant FF/RR) and it also stops playing the video file once it is a few minutes into the movie. I have changed the settings from 'always deliver supported media files' to 'never deliver supported media files' with no luck.. Do you think u can help me out?

Can you please tell me which device profile you are using?

I am using Samsung C device profile

Paul

The first file will be transcoded because of the AAC stream (it's 5.1, while the device profile specifies a maximum of 2 channels). The second file should be streamed through natively though.

Can you please try the "Samsung BDP" device profile, which will stream both of them through natively and see if that works better?

Also, please do not modify any settings on the Advanced tab, as that may stop any playback. Just reset them back to default.

Changing to samsung BDP worked. Thanks for your help. Also, if i wanted to play a 3D movie would i need to change the device profile?

I'd continue using the "BDP" device profile then, as it's more suited for your TV's firmware.

That 3D file should be streamed through natively using the "BDP" profile as well, so it should work.

Hello,

I'm a fairly new customer and have a similar problem with my Samsung BCD C6500 player. I have all the newest firmware upgrades installed, but I occasionally have playback problems with mp4's.

The profile I am using is what Mezzmo auto selected for my player the Samsung BCD 3D profile. Should I be
using the Samsung BCD profile instead? For better compatibility? When I play the same file off of my flash drive,
the player doesn't have any problems playing it. So I know it is Mezzmo.

By the way, this is by far the best server program out there. I don't buy too many software titles, but when I
tried this I purchased instantly.

Hello,

Actually playing files off a USB drive and via DLNA are two different things, so if a file plays through USB, it doesn't mean it'll play when streamed.

I'd recommend trying the "BDP" profile as well and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, do you have Samsung's software installed? If you do, please try that with the above file and see if that plays it through. If it doesn't play either, then most likely there's something in the encoding of that file which makes the firmware's player reject it.

Thank you!
