Hi there,
I recently bought a Samsung Home Theater (HT-9730W) which supports DLNA, so I started testing every DLNA server listed in the Wikipedia comparison page to settle for one and use it.
I really liked Mezzmo (its UI and simplicity), but I found that transcoding movies was way too slow. For example, the latest Hobbit movie that I have in 1080p and with a size of 16 GB (mkv), transcodes at 9 FPS, making it unwatchable. I don't have the specifics of the codec used now, because I'm not at home.
The thing is, that with other servers (Universal Media Server, Wild Media Server, etc.), the transcoding process breezes at 90 FPS aprox.
Do you know why this would happen? The computer is a Core 2 Duo 2.3 GHz. 4 GB RAM, running Windows 8 x64.
As I said above, I really wanted to like your server and settle for it and I also liked that it wasnīt programmed in Java, but with this issue I canīt really use it. I would have bought it already, specially considering the august promotion, but Iīm afraid it will expire before I could resolve my problem.
Thanks in advance for any comments in helping me solve this.
PS: another issue I faced was with external subtitles; no matter what, the server wouldnīt show them on the TV. Plus, this hobbit movie had 4 subtitles embedded but they were grayed out in your server, as if they couldnīt be shown... pretty confusing really, specially because with any of the aforementioned servers, they would pick the same named filed subtitle right away.
Thanks
