Hi Dennis,
mezzmo has become more smoother after that update. Many thanks for that.
However i am having problem playing a particular clip both in my Samsung UE46C8000 TV and Samsung BDP C5900 bluray player. I am posting here the ffmpeg information of that clip here

Can you tell me what is the problem?

Most likely something with the encoding of it - it should be passed through natively, so I guess the devices cannot decode it. Can you try Samsung's server (if you have it installed) to see if it plays this? Or, if you can upload this somewhere like www.megaupload.com, we could try it here.

I tried playing through allshare, it is saying the same thing, this video codec is not supported
Would you still want the links for this video?

No, that means that the actual encoding of the video stream is not supported by the device. We'll release a version of Mezzmo with pre-transcoding soon and you'll be able to force-transcode this video to make it compatible using that.

At the moment the only other option is to re-code it manually outside of Mezzmo or change the device profile in Mezzmo to transcode this video and then change it back after you watch it.
