MP4 Play off of USB, but not streaming

[ajpatterson]

I have a Samsung C6500 Blu-Ray player and I thought my MP4 problems lay with it but on a lark I tried playing one of my problem files off a USB key and it worked -- so I know for a fact the MP4/H264 combination should work :)

When I try to stream it over my network from Mezzmo, however, I get 'Not Supported File Format'. Any idea why I'd be getting that?

The profile I'm using is Samsung BDP 3D (that's what it came up with on its own) and the FFmpeg details of the MP4 I'm using as a test are as follows:

Any help greatly appreciated! I suppose in the meantime I can watch it off USB, but that kind of undoes the point of having Mezzmo, doesn't it? :) (Which I'm loving, BTW).

I do not know that receiver, but if it is like the Sony BDP series than what is supported via dlna is different then by usb. Check the docs carefully to make sure that the 3 parts (container, video codec and audio codec) are supported on dlna.

[ajpatterson]

I looked in the manual, but it only lists supported codecs & formats. MP4/H.264 is listed, but there's nothing to indicate what (if anything) is limited to USB playback vs network playback. How would I go about figuring that kind of thing out?

[Paul]

It should play, please try the "Samsung BDP" device profile and see if that gets it going.

I'm guessing you're the same Dennis who helped me out in the support case? If so, you know it worked :)

Either way, thanks a lot!

Yes, I replied here before getting to your support ticket :)
