Hi,

I tried playing some .MP4 files on my Samsung LE40C650 through Mezzmo, but unfortunately it says on my tv that the filetype is not supported. The file plays fine through DLNA with WMP. Could you maybe help me out? If you need further info about the filetype, please let me know what to do!

Thanks!
Mark

We would need to know the codecs used inside the MP4 container. Download Mediainfo here (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en) and have it analyze your MP4 file, and post the results here.

Can you please tell me if you're using the Samsung C device profile? If send an e-mail to support, I can send you an updated device profile to try. Also, please do post (or send to support) file information as per below.

Thanks! It would be better if FFmpeg information is posted though, because that's what the device profiles use as the id="xxx".

I do indeed use the Samsung C profile so would be more than happy to try the new profile. I posted the MediaInfo log below. If I need to send you FFMpeg information, could you let me know how to do this?

Just right-click on the file in Mezzmo and use the "Get FFmpeg Information" command - that will give me a better indication of what the file is in relation to Mezzmo's device profiles.

Can you please edit the SamsungLA.prf file (it's in a DeviceProfiles folder located as per this thread: http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread.php/467-FAQ-Where-are-device-profiles-located) and change:



<avcontainer id="mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2" name="h264aac" encode="0" mimetype="video/mp4v" dlnaprofile="MP3" supportschunked="0">


to:



<avcontainer id="mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2" name="h264aac" encode="0" mimetype="video/MP4V-ES" dlnaprofile="MP3" supportschunked="0">


after that save the file, restart the server and try again to see whether the file plays ok or not.
