Remux support

[LeviTX]

I've got a Sony SMP-N100, and while trying out different DLNA server packages, I selected Mezzmo since it seems to have very active support.

In any case, one thing I'd really like to see is the ability to remux instead of having to transcode everything. This is the one major feature missing when compared against PS3MS or Serviio. In my partiriclar scenario, the SMP-N100 is able to play many different codecs--as long as they're packaged up in an compatible (AVI or M2TS container.) Where I was able to play 98% of my files with the other packages with about 1-2% CPU load, Mezzmo insists on transcoding everything for this device profile.

I believe the other two software packages are using tsmuxer (instead of, or alongside ffmpeg) to do the work.


Thank you!

Mezzmo remuxes as much as it can as well, but it all depends on the device profile used.

Can you please post FFmpeg information on a file that's remuxed using other servers and I'll check it out?

Also, please e-mail support for an updated device profile to try.

[LeviTX]

Sure thing. Here are three, an MKV (h264/aac/srt), M4V (h264/aac/ttext), and a AVI (mpeg4-sp/mp3). With the other programs using a Sony BDP profile, they are remuxed into an MPEG-TS stream. When playing the Sony Network Player identifies them as their respective original codecs (AVC/AVC/DIVX) with negligible CPU load (2-4% on average). With the current SMP-N100 profile on Mezzmo, it's 100% load, and they come through on the network player with an MPEG-TS container and MPEG video. I'll also email support as you suggested.

Thank you!

[Paul]

Thanks for the file info. If you try one of the Sony BDP profiles, do these files play?

I'll send you an updated device profile through the e-mail as well.
