Mezzmo for Roku doesn't see Mezzmo Server 5.1

[Peter]

I can see the problem, the -crf 22 is between the -preset and ultrafast parameters. Try putting it before -preset and it should work.

I edited the profile to this:

<ffmpegadditional id="h264+encoding+ultrafast">-pix_fmt yuv420p -copyinkf -coder 1 -flags +loop -fflags +genpts -crf 22 -preset ultrafast</ffmpegadditional>

...and tried transcoding another video. But the error is identical. Log attached.

After editing the profile you will need to stop then start Mezzmo and your Mezzmo media server so that the profile is reloaded.

I completed transcoding a 60 minute long Pirelli World Challenge race in under 60 minutes. The PQ was much better than the FIS World Cup race I transcoded (without the -crf 22 parameter) a couple days ago. It's a somewhat softer image compared to streaming the .ts file with the Sony Blu-ray player but it's quite good (like 720 v 1080) and there's almost no pixelation or motion artifacts. Not only was the PQ better, but the file transcoded at 33 fps rather than 4-6 fps. I might have just enough CPU to dare an attempt at on-the-fly transcoding.

Thanks for all your help the past few days, Peter!

Glad to hear it is working, you can try adjusting the -crf value to get faster transcoding speed or better quality. 0 is lossless and 60 is the worst quality so increasing the value from 22 to say 25 you will lose some quality but will gain some transcoding speed.

Good to know. A chance to run some experiments!

Exactly same issue here: I have TWO Roku devices: On one (Roku TV), it suddenly started working after a couple of days and is working flawless since (for now around 4 months). The second (Roku 4 Premier), is still unable to find the Mezzmo server.
BTW: I'm using Mezzmo Pro Version 5.1.1.0 on Win 10 in console mode, since unable to run Mezzmo Server as Service (issue logged in other thread).

Can you please try installing the Mezzmo beta channel https://my.roku.com/add/MezzmoBeta to see if this finds the server? You can also manually add the server location.

Hi Peter,

Sorry to hijack this thread - trying to set Mezzmo up with Roku box and server is not seen, have installed the latest Beta in this thread and have tried to install manual location (not sure i have done this correct - if you could list step by step please). The app spins and searches then finds nothing and stops?

Hi RLG,
can you please check to make sure the Mezzmo Server on your PC is allowed through the firewall as this can cause the Roku app not to find the server if it is blocked. Also please check the IP address of the Roku device in settings to see if it is in the same subnet as the Mezzmo server.
