MKV, subtitles and audios

[Paul]

As Dennis has mentioned in an earlier post, if Mezzmo does not transcode the file, then it just delivers it byte-for-byte to your Samsung device. It's then up to your device whether it lets you select an audio channel or not. Playing a video via USB and playing via DLNA is often done differently the firmware in devices - and I think you have experienced this with your Samsung device. It seems to have less features available to you when you are playing via DLNA, when compared to via USB. Perhaps a workaround is to use a tool to remove the other audio channels from your MKV, so your device is forced to play the audio channel you want. Not sure if this helps in your situation.

Hello - my first post in the forum ..

I'm very interested in this particular feature of enabling the viewer to pick the sound track and subtitle in conjunction with a transcoding.

I own a Sony BDP S480 and am missing those features greatly when streaming from my Windows platform.

If I purchase the Mezzmo software today and this feature is build into version 3.0 how do I stand then ? upgrade for free or will it cost me extra ?

Cheers

The next major release of Mezzmo (v3.0) will be a free upgrade to all registered users.

and btw.. if you're in need of testers for the functionality in this thread I'm happy to be part of that.

[jazz]

cheers

At the moment we can't provide a definite ETA on that, but it's being developed, so it'll make it's way into the next major version.

I'm waiting for the transcoding with subtitles support. Until the next major release Mezzmo it's not for me since all videos I've are MKV in OST with subtitles Hope you can have an approximate date for 3.0 soon...

Sorry, I cannot give you a firm date as yet for the next major version. We are behind our planned schedule for the next major version, but we will deliver it as soon as it is ready. We are working on the new features right now (pre-transcoding and a new subtitle engine) - as well as releasing regular minor updates for our registered users and for new device support.
