cant pause/FF/REW/skip on samsung TV

[itsmydamnation]

Hi all,

I just bought a Samsung PS50C6500 plasma. Mezzmo didn't detect my TV and appeared to transcode everything. When this was happening i could pause and skip forward/back, not FF or REW. I could handle this but Mezzmo didn't appear to be using multithreading for H264 Transcode and despite my I7 running @ 4ghz it couldn't keep up with a 720P/2000kb/s stream(only just).

When i select the Samsung C profile ( i assume this is what i should choose) H264 encoded (i haven't tried anything else yet) files are passed straight to the TV. But when this happens i cant pause/ff/rew/skip or anything.

im guessing this is a limitation of the mediaplayer on the tv?? if it is , is there a way to multithread the H264 transcode and force Mezzmo to transcode these file types. here is an FFprobe of one of the files i was testing with:

Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '*****.mp4':

thank you for any help



edit: I will also add, that Mezzmo cant start when there are multiple ipv4 addresses assigned to a single interface (windows 7 64bit). the MezzmoMediaService log has errors saying that it cant find any interfaces to bind to.

Hi,

Can you please send a message to support (at) conceiva (dot) com and we'll send you an updated device profile to try.

Also, if you can send in the logs with the multiple interfaces issue that'd be good as well. Thanks!

cheers

Great - thanks for letting me know!

When I play a MKV file on my Samsung C profile TV, I can click the "forward" button but it only goes forward about 10-15 seconds. I have an updated SamsungLA.pref I was sent from support, and using this it does the same thing. Were you able to fast forward and rewind as normal with your files?

If you hold the forward button down it should start going forward in larger increments.
