    Default Vizio E Series native playback issue

    Just purchased a Vizio E500i. Trying to make this work with AVI files w/o transcoding.

    I have setup using Vizio Smart TV profile. I was OK w/ Mezzmo transcoding the file even though the Vizio can handle the AVI natively. However, on the transcoded file, it oddly stops after about 60 minutes of play no mater what format I transcode to. So I added lines to the profile to allow it to pass AVI files natively. The issue now is, although the AVI file is listed on my TV when accessing Mezzmo, it does nothing when I click on it. I know the AVI file itself is not an issue since the TV will stream it just fine through Windows Media Server.

    Here is the info on the file:

    Even though there is no transcoding going on, Mezzmo is doing something that is not allowing the Vizio to open/stream the AVI file.


    Any thoughts?


    PS - Yes I know the file I posted isn't 60 mins long; this is a sample file I was using to test AVI between Mezzmo and Windows Media Server.

    PS - Here is the code I added to the Vizio SmartTV profile so it would not transcode AVI files:

    <avcontainer id="avi" name="avi" mimetype="video/avi" encode="0" dlnaprofile="avi" supportschunked="0">
    <video>
    <format id="msmpeg4">
    </format>
    <format id="msmpeg4v3">
    <bitrate>8000000</bitrate>
    </format>
    <format id="mpeg4">
    </format>
    <format id="h264">
    </format>
    <format id="mjpeg">
    </format>
    </video>
    <audio>
    <format id="pcm_u8">
    </format>
    <format id="pcm_s16le">
    </format>
    <format id="ac3">
    </format>
    <format id="mp3">
    </format>
    <format id="mp2">
    </format>
    </audio>
    </avcontainer>

    One other thing; i changed to another profile that will transcode to an AVI container. Same result. The transcoded file will show up on the list as an AVI file, but nothing happens when I click on it.

    Tried again with the Windows Media Server, and it plays the same file just fine.

    OK - thanks for the information.

    Regarding Windows Media Player, it typically converts all videos to MPEG-2 or WMV/ASF so that's why you see it playing. I am pretty confident that it is not streaming the AVI directly.

    From your logs, I can see you are using the 'Vizio Costar' device profile and not the 'Vizio Smart TV' device profile.

    To test if the AVI file is supported by your TV, turn off transcoding in Mezzmo and Mezzmo will stream all files directly to your TV without any transcoding. This is a good way to test what files are supported or not. To turn off transcoding for your TV, go to the Media Devices dialog and edit your device. On the Device Settings dialog, to go the Transcoding tab and turn off transcoding and delete transcoded files. Restart your Mezzmo server and try streaming now. If the file does not play, then that's a pretty sure sign that your device does not support that particular file.

    Back to your original problem - why does the the video stop after 60 minutes? Please revert your device profile back to its original state and turn on transcoding. Turn on logging and then stream the file. After it stops suddenly after 60 minutes, stop your Mezzmo server and exit Mezzmo. Zip up all the logs and email them to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com for analysis.
