Panasonic CX700 (Firefox OS)

[zenlord]

Hi there,

To get my new TV recognized, I created this new file /opt/ums/renderers/Panasonic-VieraCX700.conf

The part to detect the TV is working correctly:

Code: Select all

RendererName = Panasonic CX700
RendererIcon = panasonic.png

# ============================================================================
# This renderer has sent the following string/s:
#
# User-Agent: Panasonic MIL DLNA CP UPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.50
# X-PANASONIC-DMP-Profile: MPEG_PS_PAL JPEG_SM PV_DIVX_DIV3 PV_DIVX_DIV4 PV_DIVX_DIVX PV_DIVX_DX50 PV_DRM_DIVX_DIV3 P$
# X-PANASONIC-Registration: NDBDWDcwMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
# ============================================================================

UserAgentSearch = Panasonic MIL DLNA CP UPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.50
UpnpDetailsSearch = VIERA CX700 Series
LoadingPriority = 2

The section to define the supported formats is however not correct (some formats are being transcoded while the TV can handle them natively). This is what it is now (taken from the Panasonic Viera VT60-file):

Code: Select all

# Supported video formats:
Supported = f:3gp|3g2   v:h264               a:aac                    m:video/3gpp
Supported = f:flv       v:h264               a:aac|mp3                m:video/x-flv
Supported = f:mpegps    v:mpeg1|mpeg2        a:ac3|lpcm|mpa           m:video/mpeg
Supported = f:mpegts    v:h264|mpeg1|mpeg2   a:aac|ac3|eac3|mpa       m:video/mpeg
Supported = f:mp4       v:h264|mpeg1|mpeg2   a:aac|ac3|eac3|mp3|mpa   m:video/mp4
Supported = f:mkv       v:h264|mpeg1|mpeg2   a:aac|ac3|dts|mp3|mpa    m:video/x-matroska

# Supported audio formats:
Supported = f:aac    m:audio/x-m4a   n:2   a:(?!alac).+
Supported = f:flac   m:audio/flac
Supported = f:mp3    m:audio/mpeg

# Supported image formats:
Supported = f:jpg   m:image/jpeg

These are the supported formats from the Manufacturer's website:
AVCHD 3D/Progressive, SD-VIDEO/AVI/HEVC/MKV/WMV/MP4/M4v/FLV/3GPP/VRO/VOB/TS/PS, MP3/AAC/WMA Pro/FLAC/Apple Lossless/WAV, JPEG/MPO

-> How should I translate this into a renderer profile?

Thx!

I have the same issue.

A mkv without transcoding or from a pendrive without any kind reproduced problems. But UMS always transcodes .

I made this config for you based on the manual for the TV, please let me know how it goes. It will also be in the next UMS release:

Code: Select all

I tried the settings and this is my experience:
I have sent a zip file with examples of avi , mp4, mkv which are transcoded by default.
Only h1.txt it is detected as mkv and this is not transcoded .

I'm sorry for my English
And thanks a lot.

[SubJunk]

Thanks for the investigation

Those videos shouldn't have been streamed because:

avi.txt: DivX video codec
avi2.txt: XviD video codec
h2.txt: Subtitles
h3.txt: Subtitles
m.txt: Subtitles
mp4.txt: 4k resolution

You can check if your TV can handle those files by going into the #--TRANSCODE--# folder and selecting the "[No transcoding]" option. If the file plays, then we can add it to the TV profile. Also it will help if you attach logs, instructions at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=556

Here's a link to the manual for the TV which lists the formats it supports on page 158 http://www.panasonic.com/content/dam/Pa ... Manual.pdf

Except avi2.txt all are played by TV with pendrive or [no transcoding]

How to add no transcoding at configuration file?

Thanks a lot.
James.

Are the subtitles supported that way too? I need TRACE logs so I can see what's happening, then I can make the tweaks to the configuration file

[libertyrock]

of h1.txt you do not say anything and also has subtitles like the others. However it plays without transcoding.

You mean that the TV does not support xvid or divx but played in [no transcoding ]

Show me how to do a trace and you send it .

[SubJunk]

We can add the DivX support for sure.
I gave the link before: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=556

[libertyrock]

it's more easy.
All except divx are played without transcoding with option no transcoding into transcoding directory but in directory root play with transcoding.

Sorry.
