Vizio M Series

[badincite]

Anyone got the vizio m series working with this? I've tired a bunch of different config files but most of them don't work they just lock the TV up and it looks like it tries to render the whole movie before it plays. May exact model number is "M501d-A2R"

Hi, I've got a M550VSE partly working. I don't know if this directly translates from ps3ms or not but the code below is from there. Don't know a whole lot, but the basic ps3.conf was really close for me. Another person on this board said they had this problem and solved it, but haven't heard how yet. (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=487#p2421) I have been able to play some files that are .avi with MPEG-4(XVID) video and MPEG Audio(MP3) and MPEG-4 base files with AVC video and AAC audio, but only files so far that are shorter shows. I can play files that are up to 21 m 16 s so far, but video with the same media info that's 46 m does not work. Also, the renderer icon is incorrect for me.

Well this config wont show any folders once I browse to universal media server

[jlane628]

Is it showing up in your renderers area on the main page after it's connected? It's possible since you have a different tv model that yours has a different user-agent string. You can try making this the default file and then removing the user-agent string, but since it's not a rock solid .conf file, not sure you want to go through with it. Also, this is fairly working for me on ps3ms, so possibly there are some differences in UMS I'm not aware of. Sorry it was a no go.

Yeah I shows up as a vizio smart tv. Im a newb where or how do I edit the user-agent string?

[jlane628]

If it shows up as vizio smart tv then you don't need to edit the user string. If you did, you could edit the .conf file in notepad, but that's not necessary in this case. I've never had trouble with folders not showing up. You could try changing the CreateDLNATreeFaster to false. the other options you could try switching one at a time would be dlnalocaliztionrequired and maybe the mediainfo one. It's more likely that somehow in moving conf files around you either didn't restart the server after some changes or the folder has been removed by accident in the general tab on the settings. Sorry, but I'm grasping at straws to get as far as I have, so I'm probably not going to be much help with troubleshooting another setup.

[badincite]

Ill take a look at it again when I get home maybe I can get some more info. I defiantly restarted the server after installing the .conf file, I have another one that's shows the files but locks up once you click one I will compare the two


Update I think this is the one that shows the files but locks up

Update serviio server is working with it.. still would rather have UMS

[Ranger187]

Gimme a bit, I just got the Vizio M501d-a2r so I'll be trying to work on it. I already got the Sony BDP-S590 to work with UMS (they updated the renderer info with my new config builds ago) so I'll give this a shot.
