    Exclamation Suddenly slow transcoding Sony Bravia KDL

    Suddenly I have slow transcoding rates and I have no idea why since my configuration has been the same for about a year. CPU and RAM are not a problem and the storage space of the source files has not changed. Tried various settings with manual triggering of the transcoding, as well as media device profiles.

    TV: Sony Bravia KDL-55HX850
    Transcoding rate: max 20fps
    File types affected: mkv, avi, mp4
    Mezzmo version: 3.4.4.0

    One possible reason is subtitles are being burnt into your videos (which can be slower than normal transcoding). Sony Bravia TVs don't support playing external or embedded subtitles, so Mezzmo server will burn any subtitles that it finds associated with your video into the video. Right-click on a video that has been transcoded recently and click Properties. On the Properties dialog, go to the Transcoding tab and select the transcoded file listed there. Then click 'Get FFmpeg Information' and post that here.

    Thanks for the information. The video resolution of the transcoded file is 1280 x 534 pixels but the original video file has 1920 x 1080 pixels.

    Go to the Media Devices dialog and edit your device. On the Device Settings dialog, go to the Performance tab and make sure you have not set the "Maximum video size" checkbox. If the checkbox is selected, then unselect it and try streaming/transcoding now.

    thanks for the answer. this is the result i've got after changing the settings you mentioned. i now also changed burning subtitles in the media device settings (despite already unchecking them in the "subtitles" settings in the file directly). we'll see how that works out.

    it is generally only a problem with mkv-files.

    The transcoded file still has a resolution of 1280 x 534 pixels. It's best we see a set of logs and we'll know what's happening. Turn on logging in Mezzmo (see http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging) and restart your Mezzmo server. Go to the Media Devices dialog and edit your device. On the Device Settings dialog, go to the Transcoding tab and delete your transcoded files. Now try streaming the MKV to your device. After it plays for a few minutes, stop your Mezzmo server and exit Mezzmo. Zip up all your logs and email them to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com.
