Streaming Question

[ftanner]

I have a question about streaming.

When you stream to a device does the device report back to Mezzmo if it fails?

For instance, my Sony BR player can native stream MPEG videos, but some of them give the "file is corrupt" message. I know these files are good because they used to play until a firmware update from Sony broke it for some files.

Now on to why I ask the question...

My idea is that if a device tries to stream a file that it is supposed to natively support, but fails for some reason, such in my case, have it fall back from native mode to transcoding the file to get it to play.

What are your thoughts?

Hi ftanner,

It's a great idea - unfortunately, devices do not respond back to the media server (Mezzmo) when they have a problem playing a file. It would be great if they did since we could do many things upon getting a response - such as your idea.
