Philips PFL7605 TV and FastForward

What you posted is exactly what I had in the profile before, which resulted in it trying to play the WMV2 files without transcoding. Probably because the files contained WMAV2 and it figured it would only need to transcode the video, which it couldn't because it should be WMV3.

The 'other' format is not ignored, it somehow makes it think the WMV2 files doesn't contain any formats worth keeping while still providing an audio format for the WMV3 files to transcode to.

Well, what happens technically is that Mezzmo will look at the file and see that is has (for example) a video stream "wmv3" and an audio stream "wmapro". It will then look at the device profile and see that this is not defined as a combination that the device can play. After that it'll see that "wmv3" actually exists in a combination that can be transcoded to (encode="1"), so it will take that container and use the codec="wmav2" information from the line where encode="1". It'll ignore the "other", because that is only used to match a container to a file, but it's not used to transcode. So, in effect, what I posted is identical to what you had before, that's correct.

It should not have passed the file through to the TV without attempting to transcode, unless transcoding was turned off, so I'd be surprised if it did. If the file is "wmv2" and "wmav2" it will not be considered a native file and should be transcoded to MPEG2 (in the default profile), because the video stream does not match anything and MPEG2 is the preferred transcoding.

Can you please turn on diagnostic logging (see this thread: http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging) and try to stream that file with wmv2 and then send the logs to support (at) conceiva (dot) com, so that I could look at why it's passing the file through instead of transcoding it? Thanks!
