Thread: Unable to discover Mezzmo service from my Samsung TV

  1. #11

    Default

    To make it short, Samsung C series are those who has Samsung App features (You can download widgets from the internet, e.g. Facebook, AccuWeather, Associated Press, Twitter, Youtube, etc)

    http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...m/1316239.html << post 630 (There is an email from Samsung tech support that verify this). However this statement conflicts with your last post, where apparently ur LCD tv does not have Samsung Apps features in fact all products below LAxxC65xxx do not have these feature.
    So again, i am lost...

    Btw, can u give me clue on which part in the file that i should and should not modify?

    That's correct - our TV here doesn't have widgets (but it does have the Media Player).

    With the device profile - basically you may want to add in more formats (audio/video/image containers/codecs as per FFmpeg information) or comment out, so that they'll be transcoded. If you can tell me what you wish to do, I'll be able to help you better.

    Umm,

    since when i played the same *.mkv file directly from my USB stick worked flawlessly, i might wanna try to let Mezzmo to only broadcast all of the *.mkv files to my telly, and then let it do all the decoding by itself.
    I know there might be some differences with configuration on how the telly will handle streamed content via network with how it play *.mkv files through USB.

    or perhaps you might know what i am trying to do here...

    Well, the MKV is defined as follows (with encoding to MKV also turned on):

    If you can give me your file's FFmpeg information, I can say whether it will be passed through the above or will need to be transcoded (or if the above needs to be modified to pass through your file if it doesn't already).

    Im in the office at the moment, but as soon as i reach home i'll post it right here.

    btw..

    after quickly seeing your code, do you think it will work if i just modify the following?

    <format id="ac3" encode="1" codec="ac3" preferredtranscoded="0">
    <format id="h264" encode="1" codec="libx264" preferredtranscoded="0">

    if im not mistaken my mkv files is encoded either using ac3 filter or h264. But im not really understand with there encode=1 attributes there. Should i change this to 0 as well?

    With encode="1", it means that this is a potential format to be transcoded to (which in turn needs additional information, such as bitrate, etc... for successful transcoding). "preferredtranscoded" is just to prioritize transcoding out of all potential targets.

    Originally it was meant to cover all Samsung TVs, but unfortunately it appears the A, B and C series all have slightly different functionality, so we now have all three device profiles here.

    So, just to recap, if you use the "Samsung C" (SamsungLA) profile, the MKVs still don't play on the TV? Looking at FFmpeg information, that file should be passed through as native (unless you've tweaked some Advanced settings in the Device Settings dialog).

    Yes that's right. My tv still doesn't want to play it. It's still being transcoded (i still have to wait for about 30 mins otherwise the movies will stuck and jump to the next one).

    Before that, i also set everything back to default in the device profile manager. I did get a chance to go more into the transcoder setting.

    I'll just try it once again later once i get back home.

    Can you please check if you have any *.pro files in the DeviceProfiles folder (I assume that you do), and delete them if there are any (stop the server before that). After that, in Mezzmo, start the server, after your TV is picked up, go to Media Devices and assign Samsung C to it, then restart the server.

    Also, it may help if you can send in log files of when you browse to and try to play an MKV file, that may give me a hint why they're not passed through natively.

    Superb..! it works... Now i can play most of my movies natively. This is indeed by pass the transcoding process.

    And to be honest, u guys are one of the best CS i've ever dealt with... I have decided to purchase this software..

    Thx mate...!

    ps:

    Just a quick question, i found one of my movie can be streamed. Reason: Video Codec Unsupported.
