MP4 files unable to Fast Forward or Pause

[Josip]

Unable to Fast Forward or Pause MP4 movie files in Mezzmo.

The functionality works on other DLNA software such as Serviio & Samsung PC Share Manage.

I don't have any issues with Fast Forwarding & Pausing MKV files.

Is this a bug or is Mezzmo missing this functionality for the moment?

I have a Samsung PS58C7000 (Firmware: 2002.0)

Are you using Mezzmo v2.1.11 or a previous one? Also, which device profile is selected, "Samsung C"?

Can you please also send FFmpeg information on one of those MP4 files (in Mezzmo right-click on the file and use the "Get FFmpeg Information" command) to support (at) conceiva (dot) com and we'll try to replicate this here.

[Josip]

I am using Mezzmo v2.1.11 with the Samsung C profile that was auto detected.

I will email the FFmpeg information for one of the MP4 when i get home.

Thanks for the quick reply. :)

Below is the FFmpeg information from one of the MP4 files that doesn't FF/FR or Pause.

Thanks. I think I know what the problem is - please send a message to support (at) conceiva (dot) com and I'll send you an updated device profile to try.

[Josip]

I did a quick test with the patch/profile update and FF/FR & Pause works on MP4 files. I will do some thorough testist this arvo and I will tell you how I go.
Will the next update incorperate the fixes? When will the new update come out?

Thanks

[Paul]

Yes, the next update will include these fixes, but I'm not sure at this point when it'll be released. Hopefully not too far away though :)

[Josip]

Thanks for the patch. I am no longer having any problems with any of my MP4 files Pausing/FF/FR :)
