I have a few movies that can be played directly on the TV using a USB stick (mp4 format, under 2GB), but Mezzmo doesn't seem to want to play them without transcoding. Is there any workaround? My laptop is not the best and I cannot transcode on the fly, 2GB files take over 6 hours to complete but they play fine once done.
I've just found the "use original file" button in the properties dialog but anything I try to play using this is very choppy and unwatchable, even though the files are the same size before and after transcoding. Is there something else transcoding does to the file that I am not understanding?
I'm OK with the whole process, just wondering if there was a quicker way around it for future files.
TLDR: Why can I not play files obviously compatible with my Panasonic Viera 2011 over Mezzmo without transcoding?
