Thread: Stuttery playback, excessive loading Samsung BD-D6500

  1. #1

    Default Stuttery playback, excessive loading Samsung BD-D6500

    I'm trying to stream mp4 and mkv files from my Windows Home Server to my Samsung BD-D6500 blu ray player.
    But while trying to watch the videos, the playback is choppy or it pauses to load frequently.

    Both the Home Server and the Blu-Ray player have a 100 MB Ethernet connection. I've tried the Samsung BDP, Samsung BDP 3D, and the Samsung C & D device profiles.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try next?

    Sorry for the delay. I did the update to 3.1.0.0 and I was able to watch mp4 and mkv without any problems, until today.
    Now I continually get disconnected or 'unsupported file format' errors. I noticed that when it "works", the Mezzmo status will say that it is streaming the movie to my device. But now it no longer says that when a movie starts.

    here's some FFmpeg info from one of the mkv's

    I'm also attaching a log from when the mkv above starts to play and about a minute later, Mezzmo disconnects.

    Thanks for the information. Try changing your device profile to 'Samsung BDP'. Go to the Media Devices dialog in Mezzmo and edit your device to change the device profile. If no better, then post another set of logs.

    Changing to the Samsung BDP profile resulted in the error "Not Supported File Format".

    From your logs, I can see you have transcoding turned off. Please turn it on in the Transcoding Settings dialog and in the Device Settings dialog for your Samsung BDP device (go to the Media Devices dialog and edit your device to access the Device Settings dialog). Try streaming again and let us know the result. Post a new set of logs if it fails to play.

    Turning on transcoding worked. thanks

    Question, the Blu-ray player supports playing mkv, say off a large usb flash drive. Why the need to transcode them?

    Playing files via USB and streaming file via DLNA is very often different for devices. They seem to have different firmware for DLNA streaming and USB playing - so you cannot directly compare USB and DLNA unfortunately.
