Still having problem with SONY BDPS370 Blu-ray player stuttering

[paulorox]

I've been using Mezzmo with 4 Sony S370s for about 18 months.

I use the Sony BDP (PAL) profile for all 4 players. I find that gives me the best compatibility and the only files that need transcoding are MP4s/x264s. Using this device profile also allows FFWD/REW on all video files.

Of course, as Paul has mentioned above, if you're having problems with stuttering make sure your PC isn't struggling to transcode the MP4 files.

Hi Paulorox,

Thanks for that I will give the Sony BDP (PAL) a try and see what happens, I'm also looking into my system to see if there are any bottle necks.

I have also recently another topic Mezzmo stopped streaming. I have just over came the problem by un-installing then re-installing Mezzmo, it would appear to something wrong with my installation files. All seem OK and am able to use my original database files.

I am curious as to what could have changed.

Hi Michael,

Now that Mezzmo is streaming again, check your stuttering issue as per my earlier post. Try pre-transcoding and see if that helps. Let us know if the problem persists.

Hi Paul,

I am still having problems with stuttering while playing H264 encoded file. I have checked to see that the file is being transcoded and is not causing problems, files show that ffmpeg is able transcode fast enough. I have tried using both the latest and supplied versions of ffmpeg both 32 and 64with the same results. And as far as I cane see Mezzmo does not take up all my system resources. I am also not able to fast forward or back H264 files that are being streamed.

I have also tried both the Sony BDP (PAL) and Sony BDP-HT-SMP profiles, including the one you sent and still I have problems.

Could there be some setting on my Player that I need to check or set up?

Should I also be able to see folder or file art on my player, which at present I can not?

I have also zipped my Logs files and emailed them to you with a copy of this message.

Have you any more suggestions.

Hi Michael,

Some answers:

1. I think the Sony BDP-HT-SMP device profile is best suited to your model. We'll analyze you logs and respond via email.

2. Unfortunately, this Sony BDP model does not show folder or file artwork. Mezzmo server always delivers the artwork for folders and files to your devices and it is up to the device's firmware to display them.

Thanks for replying

There may have been a problem with my email with the logs, did you receive it OK?
