LG TV problems with High 10 Profile (Hi10P)

[marinos35]

I have been trying to find a good dlna server for my pal LG TV 47LE5500. It seems that most dlna servers failed at transcoding but not yours.

The thing is, though, that while it seems to work with the LGTV profile, it fails to work with mkv's containing video h.264 with High 10 Profile (Hi10P).
That's probably because the profile doesn't transcode h.264 video, as a compatible format, which generally is.

Is there a solution for that, cause my library mainly consists of videos encoded with that profile.

Try this for me. Go to the Media Devices dialog in Mezzmo and edit your LG TV device. Turn off the transcoding checkbox. Next, delete all your transcoded files using the Transcoding Settings dialog. Stop and start your Mezzmo server and now try to stream one of the MKVs to your LG TV. Does it play OK? If it does, then contact us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com and we can supply you with a device profile to better match your files. If it does not play, then it shows that the High 10 profile may be too high for the LG's firmware to decode/process, and that Mezzmo should transcode the files for you based on the LG TV device profile.

Already tried them. I was trying like 3 hours to make it work

The files were never transcoded and I can see it at their properties through mezzmo.
I have been also monitoring the temporary transcoding folder and nothing was created there.
I opened the lgtv progile file and the h264 under mkv container was set to never transcode (as well as mkv).
I tried to change that with no success (it seams that I'm not familiar enough with your profiles) so after some tries I rolled back to your original profile.
I tired Samsung C profile, which at last started transcoding but it wasn't compatible with the LG TV as expected (the LG TV needs extra love for compatible transcoding :P)


If it does not play, then it shows that the High 10 profile may be too high for the LG's firmware to decode/process, and that Mezzmo should transcode the files for you based on the LG TV device profile.

That's definitely the case here
