Just wondering about getting a profile added for these mobile devices. I am using a Z10 with KalemSoft Media Player out of the Blackberry App World. The profile for DirecTV HR24 works for streaming all of the video files I've tried so far (.avi, .mp4, .m4v, .mkv, .mpg, .m2ts) but the files sizes are reported incorrectly to the device (some 0 bytes, others correct) and the length of each movie shows up as 419:57:08.

Maybe a profile that utilizes h264 instead of mpeg-2 since the transcoding is a lot slower due to the lack of efficiency?

We'll create a device profile. Please provide the following information:


A set of logs when you connect to Mezzmo from your Blackberry (KalemSoft Media Player app) & browse some playlists and play a few files.
A list of the video formats, music formats, photo formats and subtitle formats that the KalemSoft Media Player app supports.

After doing the research, it seems that the KalemSoft Media Player has rather robust codec support.

From BB App World:

Support for mkv, flv, divx, xvid, avi, wmv, wma, mp4, mp3, ac3, aac, flac, ogg, mov, rm, rmvb, ts, mts, m2ts, asf, vob, jpg, gif, png and many other codecs
External SRT or embedded SSA/DVB subtitles with programmable subtitle color, size and subtitle language encoding
Thumbnail View
WMV files with MSS2 video codec are NOT supported. WMAL (WMA lossless codec) is currently NOT supported.

From their website:

Can stream many different content types (non-copy protected media only)
Can locally play many different content types (non-copy protected media only)
DLNA capable, can stream from DLNA servers
Beautiful audio visualizations (supported on BB10 only) with support for external milkdrop presets
Streams from webcams, TV cards or any Direcshow compatible capture devices
Supports embedded SSA/text/DVB and external SRT subtitles with multiple language encodings
Can record streams from KalemSoft Media Streamer locally on the device
Full screen video playback
Can shuffle and play music and videos back to back
Resume feature
Album art support with id3v2 tags
Favorites list and custom playlist support

Under the <Generic> profile it also played back .mkv files with DTS audio tracks. In fact, it has played back everything that I have attempted with the <Generic> profile. The file sizes report correctly and other than the delivery of the poster art, it seems to be just perfect that way.
