View Full Version : Improved profile for Panasonic TX-L32E6B (2013 model)?

Hi,
I've just bought a new Panasonic Viera TX-L32E6B, and whilst Mezzmo is able to stream most (all?) of my media files to it, there would appear to be a significant number of files that it has to transcode. Compared to my 2011 TX-P42GT30B (which uses the Panasonic Viera [2011, DTS] profile) I would say the majority of videos have to be transcoded before they will display on the E6B. My hunch is that the problem lies in the fact that a lot of the films have a DTS soundtrack, as well as AC-3 and/or Dolby Digital tracks.

If I stream the same files from a Twonky server (which does not support transcoding) the files play correctly with the DTS track. I know I could switch to the same profile as the GT30B, but that would then mean that FLAC music files would be converted to MP3 :(.

Also I have observed some odd behaviour with V3.3. I have the Viera preview option enabled. If I attempt to open a film that requires transcoding BEFORE the preview starts, I often get an 'Unsupported File' message and Mezzmo simply opens the next file that does NOT require transcoding. However, if I let the Preview windows start and THEN open the movie, the file streams ok.

I'm using V3.3 and I've sent in log files to Support via email.

FFMpeg info for some of the affected files are :-
Film 1 - this movie has a DTS track (preferred)

Thanks, Bodders. We'll analyse the logs shortly and create a Panasonic Viera 2013 models device profile. When we're done, we'll email it to you to try.

Having to re-send as the message expired/timed-out. In another thread you referred to some recent email server issues, so I'll try again :-)
