Hello,
I have the new WD TV Play and this Device is not under your Devices in Mezzmo. Which Profile should I use so that DTS is transcoded to AC3?
Also when I Stream mkv files the File pauses every 10 seconds.
Thx
Follo
Hi Follo,
We have several WD TV Live device profiles. I suggest you try them to see which provides the best performance. We can also create a WD TV Play device profile if required.
Also post the FFmpeg information for the video and we can best advise the right device profile. Right-click on the video in Mezzmo and click 'Get FFmpeg Information'.

Hi Paul,
thx for the quick reply. It would be nice when you can create a WD TV Play profile because I tested all 4 and no profile transcoded dts to ac3 (transcoding is enabled and pre transcoding is also not working).
What I did was transcodind the file by myself to AC3. This file is now working. I also found a way to play mkv files smoother. I changed the bitrate under the Device performance setting to bad quality but beeter performance.

Thanks for this information, Follo. We'll need a set of logs from you to create the device profile. Turn on logging (see http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread.php/419-FAQ-How-to-turn-on-diagnostic-logging) and restart your Mezzmo server. Connect to Mezzmo server from your WD TV Play and browse a few playlists/folders and play a video. Then stop your Mezzmo server and exit Mezzmo. Zip up all the logs and email them to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com. Once we get them, we'll create the new device profile and email it to you to try.
Mezzmo v3.3 has been released and it includes the latest WD TV Play device profile.
