Hi,

Can anyone suggest a good profile for the above blurray player?

Every time I try and play an HD mkv file with DTS audio I get 'error corrupt file'

If I can get it to work better than wmp12 (which works but downmixes the audio to stereo) I think I shall purchase a full copy.

Many thanks

Hi,

Please post FFmpeg information about that file here and send a message to support and I'll send you an updated device profile for the Sony BDP.

I have the Sony 370 Blu Ray player and would like a profile. The 370,470, 570 and Bx37 and all very similar differing only in extra features such as wireless and 3D, one profile should fit all.

I don't think that the players support Matroska - looking at the spec here: http://www.sony.co.uk/product/blu-ray-disc-player/bdp-s370#pageType=TechnicalSpecs I don't see it, so that file will need to be transcoded. Most probably transcoding is failing for one reason or another - can you please generate a diagnostic log of trying to play that file and send it in to support (at) conceiva (dot) com for investigation? I suspect I know the issue and I'll send you a patch and an updated device profile for the player then.

The manual is not quite clear on formats, it does say this:

MPEG-4 AVC extensions supported: .mp4 .mkv, .m4v, m2ts, mts

Now, those may only be supported via USB or disk, I have no idea.

All those formats work from USB, vie tried it and there are no problems. I spoke to the Sony support and they told me it would ONLY play from some divx HD container, it won't do anything else. But then they also said it wouldn't do xvid either which I think I have had working, so not much help really.

I took the Sony back to the shop and replaced it with an LG bd570. This one works great with Twonky, but with mezzmo it just powers off as soon as it makes a connection to the server. :-(

We have a patch here for the LG to stop that - just e-mail support.

Usually formats playable from a USB and via DLNA are a bit different, unfortunately.

I have the Sony BDPS370. I have been able to use generic device 4 to view the m4v files for the kids iPod. They are very SD 640x360 h264/mp4 files. The documentation states:

.avi, divx - Canada only models

mpeg2 - .mpg, .mpeg, .m2ts, .mts
mpeg4 - .mkv, .mp4, .m4v, .m2ts, .mts
Windows media 9 - .wmv, .asf


Tomorrow I will try to cap the agent info.

Thank you for the formats. We do have a device profile for the Sony BDP here, if you send a message to support (at) conceiva (dot) com, I can send it to you to try.

I would very much like to try the Sony BDP profile too, send an email yesterday.

Paul

Yes, got your e-mail, I'll reply shortly with the updated device profile.

Just wondering if anyone has managed to get the Sony BDP-S370 to play WAV or FLAC files correctly???

JohnM
07-22-2010, 12:04 AM
Wav files yes do work, FLAC is not on the list of supported types. That doesn't mean they won't work I just haven't tested them. If you have some patience you will get a working profile shortly.

Paul

With help from our users the Sony BDP profile has been further tweaked and will be available as part of the next official update. If you wish to try it before then, please send a message to support.

Hi JohnM, would you mind sharing your profile with me. I can't get WAV files to play using the LPCM codec - for some reason they are always transcoded to 64kbps MP3's.

Paul

If WAV files are supported natively and some of yours are being transcoded, perhaps they're not included in the device profile. Can you please post FFmpeg information on such files and I'll add them to the device profile for you to try.

Dennis, any progress on the Sony BPD front? Have not heard back for you ...

I am looking for a solution to play AVCHD via network on a Sony BDV-E870 Blu-ray Home Theater.... I think its DLNA capabilities are similar to the BDP-570. I have also been in contact with Sony support, and discovered that the formats supported by DLNA are very limited... compared to the formats the device support via CD/DVD/USB. I find this very disappointing, but unfortunately I discovered this limitation too late and cannot return the device anymore.

So, now I am looking for some alternatives.... and just today I learned that Mezzmo exist - and that it might be able to "add" some of the lacking formats to the Sony devices, by the use of transcoding.

I am using Windows Home Server in my network, based on a HP SmartMedia EX490 - and before starting to change too much on the HP default installation (which include Twonky) I would like to check if someone has some experience with this setup:

- Is it possibly with Mezzmo to playback AVCHD files on a Sony BDV-E870?
- If yes, how is the quality - will it be HD or downscaled to SD?
- Is a HP SmartMedia EX490 (with Intel Celeron 2.2 GHz) powerfull enough to handle the transcoding needed?

Thanks a lot!
Ole

Yes, sorry for the delay, Matt. I have you in my list and I'll send you a patched version of the server to try soon - we're just fixing one small issue that may be affecting you.

Yes, we've got an updated device profile for the BDP that should allow playing AVCHD and also transcode certain videos (MKV, MP4, etc...) to AVCHD, which is much quicker and provides original video quality (since the video stream doesn't need to be recoded, if it's the same). Please send a message to support (at) conceiva (dot) com and I'll send you that profile to try.

MKV DTS seems can not support by most devices, such as wdtv, apple tv, including the BD player, you need convert mkv dts to MKV ac3 which your Sony BDP-S370 supported. after search on goole, i find aunsoft video converter for mac is the recommended one.
