LG BP550

I had my LG BP550 Bluray players working very well.
I then noticed they were not seeing any MP4 files with UMS. I remember there was a firmware upgrade a while ago and maybe the issue was caused by that.
My LG WebOSTV sees the MP4 files so I know it was a BP550 issue.
In the LG-BP550.conf file there was:
Supported = f:mp4 v:h264|mp4|mpeg1|mpeg2|vc1 a:aac-lc|ac3|dts|he-aac|mpa|mp3|wma m:video/mp4
if I remove the a: from a:aac-lc so it becomes:
Supported = f:mp4 v:h264|mp4|mpeg1|mpeg2|vc1 aac-lc|ac3|dts|he-aac|mpa|mp3|wma m:video/mp4
(it use to be like this some versions before from memory)
It sees and plays the MP4 files.
Is that what I should do? Just change a:aac-lc to aac-lc or are there other implications.
Thanks in advance.

I realised that removing the a: from a:aac-lc was not the correct thing to do.
Now I have got it to work by changing:
TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-H264-AC3
To:
TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-MPEG2-H264-AC3
Any advice if this is OK to do?
Thanks

The
Code: Select all
TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-MPEG2-H264-AC3
is wrong. There is in the "DefaultRenderer.conf" written
Code: Select all
# Profile to use for transcoding video files.
# Options:
#
# Profile Video Audio Container Notes
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# MPEGPS-MPEG2-AC3 MPEG-2 AC-3 MPEG-PS VLC only outputs 2-channel AC-3 audio
# MPEGTS-MPEG2-AC3 MPEG-2 AC-3 MPEG-TS VLC only outputs 2-channel AC-3 audio
# MPEGTS-H264-AC3 H.264 (AVC) AC-3 MPEG-TS VLC only outputs 2-channel AC-3 audio
# MPEGTS-H264-AAC H.264 (AVC) AAC MPEG-TS
# MPEGTS-H265-AC3 H.265 (HEVC) AC-3 MPEG-TS Only FFmpeg outputs H.265, others will output H.264
# MPEGTS-H265-AAC H.265 (HEVC) AAC MPEG-TS Only FFmpeg outputs H.265, others will output H.264
# WMV: WMV 2 (WMV 8) WMA 2 ASF
#
# These profiles are supported by the MEncoder, FFmpeg and VLC engines.
# Default: MPEGPS-MPEG2-AC3
TranscodeVideo =
which means if any of that profiles are not written correctly than UMS does not understand it and chooses the default transcoding profile
Anyway will be better you follow the instruction written here
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=556 and send the log.

Thank you for the reply.
I changed the LG-BP550.conf back to default (for LG-BP550). TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-H264-AC3
I have attached the log in "TRACE" mode.
I checked 2 folders for:
COMBAT! - Season 1
COMBAT! - Season 2
These are 2 of the folders where the mp4 videos do not show.
My LG-BP550 players worked fine with mp4 files previously. I think the problem may have been due to a firmware upgrade if I remember correctly.
Thanks again.

Downgrade to MediaInfo 0.7.98 will fix your issue. The actual default version used by UMS is 0.7.97, but you've upgraded it to later version.

@Sami32
Thank you for the reply.
I downgraded mediainfo to version 0.7.98 but unfortunately the result was the same.
That is the mp4 files were not showing up.
My LG WebOS 3.5 smart TV does see the mp4 files though.
Any more suggestions appreciated.
Thank you.

Post a new trace log while using MediaInfo 0.7.97/98 and playing MP4 video.

I installed Mediainfo 0.7.97 and tested.
It is working now and the MP4 files are showing.
Thank you for your help.

Can you try to install back the MediaInfo version 0.7.99, add to the renderers folder the LG-BP550_updated.conf I provided, choose it in the UMS instead of the LG-BP550.conf and test it?
