Paul - I have upgraded to 2.6.3 and i have a Kindle Fire running Skifta - however some content file types won't play on the Fire. I have my device IP setup to use the Kindle Fire profile. It appears that MKV, AVI, MOV, and a few other types are unable to play on the Fire (streamed by Mezzmo). I haven't captured any mezzmo logs to include at this point. What i have found, when browsing my Mezzmo library and attempting to play the file through the default Kindle Fire media player, these content types come up with "error can't be played". Have you heard of these issues and have any recommendation? I would really like to get the Kindle Fire to play my media consistently.
The other thing i have found, using many of the other programs, like iMediaShare Lite and a few others, is that some players will play the content like AVI's just fine, but won't play other content. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is...if it is on the Mezzmo profile side or if it is the actual Kindle Fire media player.
In your testing, what was the configuration of the Kindle Fire, what software and was the content types limited that could actually be played?
From some reserach i found, it appears the Fire has 800x400 resolution, with H264 video and AAC audio and the bitrate must be under 2500Kb/s. I haven't looked at the Kindle Fire profile to see what exactly is going on, but if that is the format that can be played consistently, then i don't mind if i transcode all media to this type and then stream.
Thanks!
Greg
