    Default LG 42LV5500 - MKV transcoding

    Hello Mezzmo Team,

    Today I discovered that one of myself-recoded MKV movies is transcoded by Mezzmo but it shouldn't. It was interested case for me due to the fact I use the same MeGUI profile, LG 42LV5500 TV & device profile (=> LG TV) since ages (http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...500-and-Mezzmo) without any problems (thanks for valuable support in early days). I'm just curious: why does Mezzmo decide to transcode properly (IMHO) recoded movie ? Below
    FFmpeg information about the movie. Complete logs was sent to your mailbox.

    Thanks for the information & logs, Mariusz. Go to the Media Devices dialog and edit your LG TV device. On the Device Settings dialog, go to the Performance tab and view the "Adjust video aspect ratio" checkbox. If it is fully checked, then this tells Mezzmo to ensure your videos have 1:1 square pixels to fix any aspect ratio problems that you may have on your DLNA device. To do this, Mezzmo will transcode files (even if they are supported) when it detects the video does not have 1:1 square pixels. I think this is what is occurring in your situation. If the checkbox is partially checked, then Mezzmo will only change to 1:1 square pixels when transcoding incompatible videos. If unchecked, then Mezzmo will not transform your videos to use 1:1 square pixels.

    Hello Paul,

    Thank you very much for suggestions. In my configuration "Adjust video aspect ratio" checkbox was grayed-out - partially checked. So I unchecked it but it didn't help (nothing changed). I see that affected MKV file is always transcoded to MPEGTS format with different screen resolution 1906x1080 (source movie is 1920x1080). Below info from MediaInfo:

    Hi Mariusz,

    Did you delete your transcoded files after making the "Adjust video aspect ratio" checkbox change? Right-click on the video file and click Properties. On the Properties dialog, go to the Transcoding tab and delete the transcoded files listed there. Now try streaming the video to your LG TV. If that does not work, then email us a new set of logs so we can see what's going wrong.

    Hi Paul,

    I deleted transcoded files - still no improvement. I started suspect that original movie material is "corrupted" in unknown way (non-standard resolution ?). Anyway I wait for your verdict. New log set was already sent.

    Mariusz

    Hello,

    Sorry for delay. In the meantime I made few tests including re-coding attempts. Good news is that second re-coding completed successfully - now Mezzmo doesn't try to transcode the movie. I've completely no idea what went wrong but now is OK. Thank you for your involvement.

    Best Regards,
    Mariusz

    Hello,

    I want to refresh this thread due to the second similar case. Now movie re-coding didn't fix the problem: MKV movie is transcoded into MPEGTS format, even my TV (LG 42LV5500, LG TV profile) supports original MKV. It is strange for me because from time to time this MKV file is recognized properly. When I disabled transcoding option on Transcoding tab for the device MKV is recognized and played properly - no transcoding task is created and everything works as predicted. I flushed/clean all transcoding-related folders, but no success. Link to 5-minutes long movie sample was already sent to your mailbox.

    In the meantime I discovered second weird thing. I often replace content of movie file (add subtitles, fonts, new audio stream etc). In result such file has still the same name, but is located in different folder dedicated for tests. I see that such new (=> created for testing purposes) movie file "inherits" (from time to time) some parameters (for example play count) from original/previous test file (we have to keep in mind that in Mezzmo library can co-exist 2+ movies with the same file name). My question is: how to permanently remove from Mezzmo database such test files to avoid "inherits" ? I would like to mention that I refresh library before & after I perform any file management tasks, but many times it is not sufficient.

    Best Regards,
    Mariusz

    Hi Mariusz,

    Thanks for the test file. We'll try to determine why it's transcoding.

    Regarding files with the same file name, Mezzmo stores the full path of your files in the Mezzmo database so there should be no duplication or inheritance of attributes form one file to another since all file paths are unique - i.e. you can have as many files called "inception.mkv" as you like in your Mezzmo library as long as they have different paths (e.g. "C:\videos\inception.mkv", "f:\movies\inception.mkv", etc.). If you can reproduce the problem you mention, then please email us more details and we'll certainly look into it.
