Sony BDP S580 Update and Playback Issues

[thescarletfire]

Oh. Hmm...that's the update that broke Mezzmo server for me in the first place.

Thank you!

I've got the 2.6.7 update installed and changed to the 'Sony BDP, HT, SMP' device profile. Fast-forward and rewind are now disabled. That's no good.

Hi hangnail,

Please post the FFmpeg information the file that will not FF/REW. To do this, right-click on the file in Mezzmo and click 'Get FFmpeg Information'.

Hi Paul,

Here is the ffmpeg info for a file that will not FF/REW in 2.6.7 using profile 'Sony BDP, HT, SMP', but would FF/REW in 2.5.0 using profile 'Sony BDP (NTSC, No DivX)'. 'Sony BDP (NTSC, No DivX)' starting sticking and stuttering in FF/REW sometime after 2.5.0:

Thanks for the additional information, hangnail. We'll look into it and get back to you. Please contact us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com so we can send you an updated device profile after we've completed our testing.

[hangnail]

Any idea on how long the updated profile will take? Thanks.

Hi hangnail,

Sorry for the delay. We're making a few changes to Mezzmo server that will improve streaming to all Sony devices. It should be ready early next week. As soon as it is ready, we will email you the patch and/or device profiles to try.
