"File not supported" with Mezzom; with Samsung PC Share Manager it works

[Rapishu]

I've two files that doesn't play on my Samsung LE40c579 when trying to stream them with Mezzmo although Samsung PC Share Manager plays them. Actually it seems that Share Manager has a problem with them too, since it takes 5-10 secons longer than usual to load them, I think it is a problem with some WMV files in general.

For me it doesn't really matter because these are the only WMV files I have but I thought this could be interesting for you, to improve compatibility in general.

[Paul]

Thank you for the file info - can you please try the "Samsung BDP" profile and see if those files play using that profile?

[Rapishu]

With the BDP profile it works :). Has this profile any "handicap" compared to the C-profile or can I use it all the time?

[Paul]

No, no "handicap" in this profile :) Just use it, as it's better suited for your TV.
