Just bought the great program only 3 problems

[Taekwonrooij]

Hi Guys,

First of all great program! Just bought indeed because of good comments on the internet.(after trying the demo)
The DLNA tv im using is the samsung UE55C8700 (C8000 in the usa)
Only 1 problem i have.

It plays al my file great except for .mp4 video files from my Nokia N97mini which are located on my pc.
I also have Sony Ericson vivaz and those mp4 videos(also located on pc) work great through the mezzmo server. So that's weird?
I dont know if you need this info but this the ffmpeg information for an example file that doesnt work:

Please let me know how to display the nokia videos on my samsung through mezzmo . It would make mezzmo go from a 8 tot a 10!

Oh and my final question, if an update is available, lets say 2.1.9, will i be able to download if for free? Scince i bought 2.1.8?

Thanks in advance

Hi Jeroen,

Thanks for the great feedback and yes, updates are free, so you don't have to worry about being always up-to-date with Mezzmo.

If you send a message to support, I can send you an updated device profile to try to play those files, or if you wish to edit the device profile yourself, you'll need to change (in SamsungLA.prf):

        <avcontainer id="mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2" name="h264aac" encode="0" mimetype="video/mp4v" dlnaprofile="MP3" supportschunked="0">
                <video>
                        <format id="h264" encode="0">
                        </format>
                </video>
                <audio>
                        <format id="aac" encode="0">
                        </format>
                </audio>
                <audio>
                        <format id="pcm_s16le" encode="0">
                        </format>
                </audio>
        </avcontainer>

to:

        <avcontainer id="mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2" name="h264aac" encode="0" mimetype="video/mp4v" dlnaprofile="MP3" supportschunked="0">
                <video>
                        <format id="h264" encode="0">
                        </format>
                </video>
                <video>
                        <format id="mpeg4" encode="0">
                        </format>
                </video>
                <audio>
                        <format id="aac" encode="0">
                        </format>
                </audio>
                <audio>
                        <format id="pcm_s16le" encode="0">
                        </format>
                </audio>
        </avcontainer>

(after that save the file and restart the server). If you do it yourself, please let me know if it works or not, so that it could be included in the next Mezzmo update.

[Taekwonrooij]

Thanks, That worked great! I was a bit looking for the file but it worked

just 2 more things, when i play some 3d content the tv reboots itself to disconnect mezzmo.
Most 3d files work fine but for example this file makes the tv to reboot playing through mezzmo.

On the pc, the file plays fine. I dont know if its a mezzmo issue, or the tv issue.




Another (NOT 3d) file that wont play is this one:

I hope you guys can help again
THanks again!

Great! Thanks for letting me know - I'll add that to our device profile here as well for the next Mezzmo update.

Regarding that file that reboots the TV - can you please send it to support (at) conceiva (dot) com (or upload to www.megaupload.com, for example) so that I could try it here? We also have a patched version of the server available that I can send you (if you contact the support e-mail).

The file that won't play would need to be transcoded according to the current device profile. Let's try to play it natively by changing the "avi" container to be:

        <avcontainer id="avi" name="avi" encode="0" mimetype="video/x-msvideo" dlnaprofile="MP3" supportschunked="0">
                <video>
                        <format id="mpeg4" encode="0" codec="mpeg4">
                        </format>
                </video>
                <video>
                        <format id="msmpeg4" encode="0">
                        </format>
                </video>
                <video>
                        <format id="h264" encode="0">
                        </format>
                </video>
                <audio>
                        <format id="mp3" encode="0" codec="mp3">
                        </format>
                </audio>
                <audio>
                        <format id="ac3" encode="0" codec="ac3">
                        </format>
                </audio>
                <audio>
                        <format id="mp2" encode="0" codec="mp2">
                        </format>
                </audio>
        </avcontainer>

and see if that makes the file play natively. If the TV refuses, then can you please revert the container back to how it was, turn on diagnostic logging (see this thread: http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging), try to play it again and after it fails, stop the server and send the logs to the support e-mail for further investigation.

[Taekwonrooij]

OK that trick also worked so that file is playing good also! Thanks!

Im have checked alsmost all my video files, leaving only 2 files that wont play.
After this i hopefully wont be stalking you anymore haha.

The first one is the one rebooting my tv and disconnecting mezzmo (maybe its just a crappy file i dont know). It would be nice, if mezzmo could just give some error instead of rebooting the tv, when some files dont work.
Here is the link: http://hotfile.com/dl/38075977/3d5fc...1080p.wmv.html

The 2nd one is(this one does not reboot the tv, but plays for 10 secs and then just stops playing and goes to the next file):

After this i think it just plays about everything! In fact some HD videos (.mts) that i cant play on my PC (slow cpu?) Do play on the tv through mezzmo), now thats awesome!

Thanks again and let me know

If the TV itself reboots, I'm more tempted to point the finger at the TV than Mezzmo (which merely streams video and audio data to the TV using the DLNA protocol). Essentially, this file is making your TV crash I see a firmware update is available on Samsung's site for this TV model. Have a look at it, and if it's newer than what you are using then try updating your TV firmware. Then see if the crash still happens.

[Taekwonrooij]

HI RMerlin,

I do have the latest firmware, so unfortunatly it still happens. Have you guys tried the file? Could be the tv indeed though.....

How about my second error? The one that does not reboot my tv, but only plays for 10 secs on mezzmo and then hops on to the next file?

Hi Jeroen,

I'm not a Conceiva employee Just a regular user trying to help out. I'm sure Dennis from Conceiva will get back to you after the weekend with more thorough troubleshooting details.

[Paul]

Hi,

Thanks RMerlin, you're a great help! I appreciate what you do.

Regarding the files - they are both out of dimension bounds defined for the TV, so they'll be transcoded (which is probably not what you want). I don't have a 3D TV here to test them natively, but try removing this line:

<videomax width="1920" height="1080" />

from the device profile and try again - that should get them streaming natively and then it'll be up to the TV whether to play them or not

[Taekwonrooij]

I dont know what transcoding is, or how to use it...

But removing that line did not help unfortunatly. Now is doens't play at all. Before removing the line , at least it played 10 seconds
