Files not visible

Post by boss »

Just noticed that some .mp4 and .mkv files are not showing up at all in my media player (LG BP550).
When I use the UMS browser interface, the files show but when played I get an "Unsupported Video Type" error.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks

The problem has been fixed for the mp4 and mkv files where some were not showing.
This is for a LG BD-550 Blu Ray player.
I changed the renderer conf file:
#Supported = f:mp4 v:h264|mp4|mpeg1|mpeg2|vc1 a:aac|ac3|dts|mpa|mp3|wma m:video/mp4
Supported = f:mp4 v:h264|mp4|mpeg1|mpeg2|vc1 a:aac|aac-he|ac3|dts|mpa|mp3|wma m:video/mp4

#Supported = f:mkv v:h264|mp4|mpeg1|mpeg2|vc1 a:aac|ac3|dts|mpa|mp3|wma m:video/x-matroska
Supported = f:mkv v:h264|mp4|mpeg1|mpeg2|vc1 a:aac|aac-he|ac3|dts|mpa|mp3|wma m:video/x-matroska

Still having a problem with 2 avi movies where they freeze and working on it.

You might want to use ffmpeg command line to detect the container, audio and video codec in the two avi files. Then you can add supportedLines accordingly.
