"Improved support for Sony BRAVIA EX Series TVs"

FFMPEG command line in that profile still needs fixing unless another version of FFMPEG has now been used which now supports fractional widths and heights.

i've tested out 8a2 on the ps4 pro media player Works much better than the previous one with more compatibility on the playback side of things all the vídeos that weren't working they're now. sounds is also working ok, memory usage is more balanced, i had no issues syncing my content inside folders, stutering issues present on the alpha one are also no longer present on alpha 2, the transcoding quality has been improved but still not fully ok need some work to be done. áudio and vídeo quality are very good and clean and plays very smooth. photo quality is also very good and music quality is nice too. this new one almost feels like a complete one like 7.7.1 for an alpha i really like it can't wait for the full release or at least the beta development stage. :D


keep up with the good work and keep improving version 8 its pretty good even on the actual stage have a nice week and god bless. ;)

Can a dev look through the code quickly and confirm of deny if the conf commands of...

Code: Select all

MuxNonMod4Resolution = true
and

Code: Select all

MuxNonMod4Resolution = false
Are still working correctly, particularly when used in association with FFMPEG. Testing my end shows something as being wrong when dealing with non multiple of 4 resolution files when using FFMPEG for playback. I suspect its newer versions of FFMPEG being used but would MAYBE also be worth checking an unintended alteration to how that command works has not taken place.

Many thanks in advance.
