cant pause/FF/REW/skip on samsung TV

[cunyalen]

My TV is LN40C650. I'm using Mezzmo 2.3.1.

I can pause, but I can't FF and REW, no matter using the left/right buttons or the FF/REW buttons. I have tried different file formats, they all worked the same.

The profile is selected to be Samsung C automatically. I'm wondering which profile file is used, SamsungCaptivate.prf or SamsungLA.prf? There is no SamsungC.prf.

SamsungLA.prf is "Samsung C", so it's used. Can you please post FFmpeg information on one of the files that you can't skip and we'll try to find a similar file here to check (or, if the file is not too big, it'd be great if you could send it to us via a site like www.megaupload.com).

It seems some files are working now after I tried them again. The following file type is still not working. I'm wondering if it's the problem of the file format. The TV doesn't support RMVB. It is played via transcoding.

It's possible that transcoding is failing - can you please turn on logging (see this thread: http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging) then try that file again and once it fails, stop the server and send the logs to support (at) conceiva (dot) com and we'll take a look.

[cunyalen]

I have sent the log files to support at conceiva dot com.

What I did was
1) Turn on logging
2) Restart server
3) Connect Media from TV
4) Play the Video
5) Press L/R buttons several times
6) Press fast forward button once
7) Press Exit
8) Turn off server

If the transcoding is failing, my TV should not be able to play the video, since the file format is not supported by my TV, right? If the video is natively supported by my TV, will there be any difference about the "skip" and FF/REW functionality?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, if transcoding fails then the TV most likely will reject the file (unless it does the support the file and our device profile needs updating). Some TVs will let you skip on all file type and some won't - it's up to the firmware basically. Generally, there's no difference in native and transcoded files - they skip in the same fashion.
