Unusual Stuttering and Halted Playback

[Aaron407]

I'm having a couple issues with streaming standard resolution xvid AVIs to my Sony BDP-S370 (newest firmware) with Mezzmo v2.1.13.

Every 9 or 10 minutes (but often randomly as well) it ends up having a rather severe stutter in the audio and video that lasts for about 10 seconds, but eventually subsides and playback continues smoothly. I have confirmed that it is not transcoding, is not network congestion, and nothing else is happening on the computer at the time, so I'm not sure what to look for.

My other problem is that it seems, with many of the same type of video file, my BDP-S370 is made to randomly think that either the end of the file has been reached, or something else has happened to halt playback. The video file will freeze at a random position and the player will continue on to the next file in the list as if the previous one had ended. Not sure what to think of this either, and I'm not sure if it's linked in any way to the first issue.

Note that no other media servers I've used in this setup have exhibited either of these problems, so I assume it's something in Mezzmo. The stuttering problem is also present when playing through my PS3. Some other files work perfectly fine, including many 720p mkv's that I've transcoded on the fly from my core2 duo 1.83GHz, so I'm at a loss. Any ideas what could be causing the issues?

This sounds similar to a problem which has started to occur with my set up. I had not thought of the firmware update as the culprit. I have a Samsung C series TV.

I also have this kind of problem since the last update, with my Bravia KDL TV.

What device profile are you using Arron? You might want to try a Sony BDP profile with no DivX. This will force all the DivX files to be transcoded and you should not experience this issue again.

As for Boboop you might want to try using the Sony Bravia KDL W profile and see if that works better.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. It had defaulted to "Sony BDP (no DivX)" originally, but I changed it to the standard "Sony BDP" since the player does support DivX. However, I ran through all of the recommended network troubleshooting steps and rebooted, and haven't had problems tonight. If the problem remains I'll change it.
