Streaming vids start/stop

- WIN7 64 BIT
- NETEAR 600 DUAL BAND (wireless - cable not option)
- SAMSUNG UN46C7000 : SAMSUNG PROFILE C
- SAMSUNG AP (WIRELESS)
- MAXTOR 500 Gig HD

SO FAR:
1. Downloaded & installed trial version on putr
2. Used DVD Shrink created 2 VOB files (~4.4 Gig ea)
a. Iron Man
b. Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Trader
3. Sam TV sees Mezzmo
4. Started Iron Man - streaming great (great pict) then after ~1.5 min stream stops &
TV says "preparing to play". Stream starts again and then stops (same message as
before). Does this ~ every 1-2 min.
5. Narnia does same thing except every 6-8 min.
6. Fast forward & rewind don't work.

Is there a resolution for my situation? Thanks in advance.

Can you please post FFmpeg information on one of those files you created (in Mezzmo right-click on the file and use the "Get FFmpeg Information" command). It's possible that the bitrate is too high for your wireless connection (I assume you have Wireless G with Samsung's dongle?), so perhaps those files need to be transcoded.

Samsung doesn't support FF/REW, you can only use the skip back and forth buttons while in DLNA mode. Those should work, but sometimes do not, depending on the file format - this is up to Samsung's firmware, unfortunately.

Here's the FFmpeg for IronMan. I've tried the skip back and forth buttons and they work fine.

Thanks for the info - we'll need to check this in more detail, so can you please turn on logging (see this thread: http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging) then try playing Ironman again and once it starts to stutter, stop the server and send us the logs to support (at) conceiva (dot) com

Support contacted me & I sent them the log file as well as the FFmpeg. Also, being relentless, I recoded 7 vids to MP4's and all work flawlessly. thanks for the help.
