A Guide to Chaptering on Samsung TVs

[Gus]

No it DOESN'T work.
I download the file "Gus_Samsung_C_Series_Chapter_Template.zip" and i renamed it with my movie
e.t.c.
Movie.mkv
movie.mta
And i try to play that movie with
Samsung pc share manager, allshare, tvmobili and others dlna program but NEITHER of these works it just play that file WITHOUT any chapter at all so....

I have the samsung le40c653.

Hi,

A couple of questions...

- do you get chapters when playing the same file from USB? This is the main test since not all Samsung TVs support chapters.

- in your post you say you downloaded the zip file and renamed it, did you unzip it first and rename the resulting mta file?

Yes i do get chapters from usb as i get chapers if i play movies with mezzmo 2.6.1.0 or 2.5.5.0
But with OTHER programs except mezzmo I DON'T get chapters even i rename the file at your 1 post and rename it to the movie mkv file.

Yes i unzip it and the result was one mta file this is the reason i post you above the example
movie.mkv
movie.mta -> your unzipped file.

I don't believe other media servers support Samsung MTA files. Perhaps only Mezzmo supports them and that's why you only see chapters when streaming with Mezzmo.

So this file is ONLY FOR MEZZMO????

Doesn't support it anyone else program or samsung le40c653 by itself????

[Gus]

As far as i know only Mezzmo and an older version of PCSM support .MTA files.
Some Samsung TVs request the MTA files but the server software has to support them and 'send' them.

So these files are for use only in Mezzmo since PCSM creates it's own versions.

That said, i've almost stopped using MTA files in Mezzmo since the introduction of the auto chaptering on the fly. So Mezzmo delivers the MTA file in the backgound automatically.

So there isn't any other dlna program that supports mta files?
How i can create my own mta files?

Look this article please that tell allshare support mta files....

I try to make that mta file work with the files with these names
movie.mkv
movie.mta

NOT like this
movie.mkv
movie.mkv.mta

I try with the second way maybe it work.

Are you having problems with Mezzmo and MTA files?

or with AllShare?

I think this forum is only best for Mezzmo discussion. You may be better to post on a Samsung forum for AllShare related questions.

[fits79]

No with mezzmo i have other problrems.

OK, i'm glad MTA files work fine in Mezzmo for you. I'll let the other forum posts assist you on those issues instead of cross posting in this one.

If i make one mkv file wth chapters with mkvtoolnic WITHOUT an external chapters does the tv regonise these chapters inside the mkv file or not?

And does anyone know i can make custom chapters at ant mkv files with program mkvtoolnix?
