    Question MKV, subtitles and audios

    Hi!

    I recently adquiered Mezzmo for the transcoding feature, it's working perfect

    Yesterday I wanted to see a MKV file with 4 audio channels (4 languages) and subtitles integrated in my Panasonic Viera V20. The image was perfect and I can listen the Spanish audio, but I can't select other audios (I want it in OST!) either the subtitles.

    What's the problem?

    Hi,

    MKV files need to be transcoded for the Panasonic, so Mezzmo only keeps the first video and the first audio streams in the file and drops the subtitles completely. This will be changed in future versions, where you'll be able to choose which video/audio/subtitle stream you'd like to watch from the file.

    It'll be the next major (v3, I guess) one. I cannot give our ETA out at the moment

    Very frustrating. It's almost March and I'm still waiting for the "burned subtitles" feature which you said would be available last year. Several new versions since then. You should have put this on the top of the priority list.

    I had one mkv file with three english sound tracks for "Casablanca 1942"
    -- playing the movie on my computer played the "movie" audio correctly
    -- Mezzmo incorrectly played the "documentary" audio track that talked about the making of the movie on my Panasonic Viera TV

    I also had another mkv file with five Russian sound tracks and one DTS english audio track
    -- the computer played the english DTS track which was the last track
    -- Mezzmo played one of the Russian tracks (probably the first track)

    I have reported the first problem to Conceiva

    Dennis from Conceiva recommended downloading software MKVtoolnix (free) which allows you to remove unwanted audio streams
    MKV files: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVExtractGUI
    and http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVtoolnix
    and some guides on how to use them: http://www.videohelp.com/guides?tools=609&&archive=%25

    This software enabled me to delete the unwanted audio tracks and watch the movies in English with Mezzmo
    -- the process took about 6 minutes and made the MKV files smaller
    -- you can also remove the subtitle files
    -- in the bottom half of the screen each file has a description (russian, english, english DTS etc)

    MKVtoonix user instructions.doc are provided

    Is the feature present in the last version? (the feature = choose audio channel in mkv files with Panasonic VIERA TVs)

    I have one further question on the topic. Which audio track is played by default? The first one? Can the order be changed via the tools from the previous post?

    EDIT: Donwloaded MKVToolnix, checked a few files and realized there is a 'default' flag for the audio tracks, but Meezmo (or maybe it's the codec?) is not using it... it sometimes uses the other audio track :-m

    I'm using a samsung C6530 without transcoding.

    No, not yet - it'll be part of the next major Mezzmo update.

    If you're not transcoding the file, then it's up to the device to let you choose tracks (or not). If you are transcoding the file, then FFmpeg will automatically choose a track, I'm not sure if it respects the default setting or not, but we'll investigate.

    It's a Samsung 32'' C6530 and it plays mkv's, so it doesn't need to transcode.

    When playing the mkv from a USB pendrive, it allows audio channel switching, but via DLNA it does not.

    I've checked them and in all my mkv's my default language is spanish, but via DLNA some of them are being played in english :-m
