The couple of times that I've had similar issues I've traced to bandwidth problems on my wireless connection to my KDL. I'm usually able to resynce the audio by pausing and then unpausing the...
Of course. Then, as I mentioned, I removed the entire Video subtree from the library and rescanned (hoping that this would remove everything and I could start over). Nope. It went and found all of...
My Bravia plays videos just fine, after I converted them all to .MKV files. A pain in your case, though, and I don't know the capabilities of the other devices you have. I stream SD video (no HD...
Having finally converted all of my .VOB files to .MKV, I went back and deleted all of the .VOB source files. Checked the next day after the library maintenance had completed, and the VOBs, while...
You can try converting them to MKV the way I did and see if that helps.
For comparison, here's the FFMPEG info from one that I just converted and plays just fine on my Bravia:
FFmpeg version...
Perhaps your motherboard has two network adapters onboard? Many do nowadays, and if you're running DHCP on your network (as most people do), then each would have gotten a separate IP address. You...
There were a couple of requests in this thread about how I converted my DVDs for use with my Bravia and Mezzmo. I took a few minutes and threw these quick tutorials together in case anyone is...
PDFs sent, one for DVD--> VOB, one for VOB--> MKV. You'll need 'em both.
OK, it won't allow me to write them online, so I'll send Dennis a PDF.
I mean type an entry into the forum post that has the images inline with it - e.g. as part of the post.
Dennis - Is there a way to embed inline images? I can throw a quick tutorial together or post it in PDF. Your choice.
Email has been sent. From what I found here, my Captivate SHOULD handle whatever Mezzmo is trying to stream to it. I just wonder if changing the format to another may cause the transcoding to...
Dennis - Reopening this thread - Is there a way to tell the Mezzmo server what to transcode TO for a given DLNA device? This may be the issue with the transcoding for my Captivate. Rereading the...
Dennis - I'm back after doing some testing. Finally found settings in Handbrake that generate h.264 MKV files that look great on the TV. Will test a few more random movies to ensure that that is a...
Thanks, Dennis. I'll look that direction, then.
The Bravia is a KDL-60EX701
OK, then the next question would be if there's an easier format to transcode? MKV -> MP4 easier than .VOB -> MP4? That sort of thing?
Thanks again.
Ah. I wasn't drawing the distinction between "a file" and "a movie," then. So what would the recommendation, be, then, for someone like me that wants to keep the DVDs out of the hands of my kids,...
OK, I somehow assumed that Mezzmo would present the DLNA client with a list/display of selectable movies to watch, ala XBMC or Media Center and just know how they were laid out, without the user...
(Hmmm. Last reply got lost somewhere)
Dennis - Files were sent to the support address.
My thought is that many people probably rip their DVDs to the same (or at last similar) structures, e.g....
All directories have a number of informational files that were created by the free version of the "MyMovies" movie collection application - folder.jpg (Contains a relatively small front cover only),...
I've ripped a bunch of my DVDs to my Windows Home Server, running the latest (demo) version of Mezzmo. The file structure is like this:
Root --|
.......|
.......Movie Name --|...
Log files sent. The file I attempted to play was actually copied from my phone (m4v format, plays fine) to the server, logs cleared, failed DLNA playback on the Captivate, then logs retrieved and...
I stopped ripping my DVD collection at around 150 or so, since I wanted to make sure that I could stream them via DLNA to various devices before continuing. Here's the problem. I have a Samsung...
